kadampa solitary retreat

For Kadampa solitary retreats, Kailash offers qualified conditions in silence for those interested in deepening their meditation practice of Je Tsongkhapa’s teachings within the Buddhist New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) through self-guided personal retreat. We can accommodate solitary retreaters for any length of time such as a weekend, a few months, or longer. By withdrawing from the distractions of daily life and emphasising spiritual practice you will experience profound inner peace and stillness. Kailash is a unique and tranquil environment with inspiring panoramic views where you can relax and journey within.

SILENCE – CONTEMPLATION – MEDITATION

All solitary retreaters observe strict silence during their retreat. However, it is possible to ask any questions by written correspondence as needed throughout the retreat. We offer conducive conditions so retreaters can relax and feel supported throughout their stay – this includes private studio accommodation with ensuite facilities, three nutritious vegetarian meals delivered to you every day, and having experienced managers on hand when needed. There are many beautiful walks perfect for contemplation and exercise, and expansive views to uplift your mind.

Cooled by the flower-scented moonlight and fanned by peaceful silent breeze, they abide joyfully without distractions.”
— Shantideva
