Ullambana Celebration
2024-08-10 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Mt. Adams Buddhist Temple, 46 Stoller Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States
The Yulanpen Sutra, also known as the Ullambana Sutra, is a Mahayana sutra concerning filial piety. (Historic story about a monk who saved his mother). Join us for our regular Saturday morning service which will include a celebration of this story of compassion.
Ullambana, surprisingly, has multiple stories about its origin. Based on the region where it is celebrated, people have passed on varying stories about the day. The word ‘Ullambana’ itself is probably derived from the Indian Language of Sanskrit and was translated into Chinese to form ‘Ullambana.’ In India, you would probably hear people say “Yulanpen Sutra,” which is in more than one way similar to the Chinese Ullambana.
The story behind the day is interesting. The story is of a boy, Sariputta, who rescues his mother who is trapped in a life-cycle continuum. Legend has it that Petavatthu, Sariputta’s mother, is trapped in the fifth life cycle as a ghost, unable to come back as a human. To help his mother, Sariputta builds huts and fills them with food for the needy to eat from as a gesture of his sacrifice. The gods accept his sacrifice and his mother is freed.

Fall 2024 Gorge Yoga Wellness Retreat
2024-09-13 12:00 - 2024-09-15 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Trout Lake Abbey, 46 Stoller Rd., Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States
The theme for 2024 isAWAKENING! Come explore what awakening means for each of us, and how to access healing and growth through yoga, the chakras, meditation, food, and self-reflection!

This year we will focus on balancing our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being through yoga postures, dance, music, meditation, and discussion. We will also explore the chakras, which offer a bridge between our subconscious and conscious actions and thoughts, allowing us to understand ourselves by opening our minds to our inner sources of inspiration, personal power, wholeness, and transformation. It is a practical system for healing energy imbalances and taking control of our mental and physical health, which is relevant to all of us today as we navigate to find meaning, purpose, and a connection with our shared humanity.
​
Each retreat will include:

4 yoga classes with Laurie VanCott, Gorge Yoga

A lecture on the chakras and understanding the self

An acupuncture group session

An evening sound bath

​All meals are provided by Petra Knapp of Native Provisions.
There will also be time to relax, renew, and reflect by providing opportunities for connection and deep conversation, journaling, or walking the grounds of the Abbey.

“The yoga retreat is magical. The setting is as beautiful and peaceful as the mind can imagine. This quiet space combined with the different experiences of the retreat allow you time to reflect, to hear your inner voices that are often covered up by the noise of life. I left so much lighter, with insights and tools to help me live my authentic life. and to be able to live more closely to the person I want to be. This experience is a true gift. Laurie is a true gift to our community. A thousand thank yous!”
