About the Retreat
This is the wonderful Seal of the Dharma, the Three Doors of Liberation. If you learn and practice it, you will certainly attain pure knowledge.
– Il Budda
During this mini-retreat, we will study and contemplate the Buddha’s Sutra on The Dharma Seal and The Three Doors to Liberation. The Seals are Vuoto, Signlessness e Aimlessness. According to the Buddha, these three doors are passageways that lead to freedom from suffering.
