Dear friends
It seems timely that in the midst of spreading authoritarianism, resurgent strongman politics, failing economic structures, and rapidly transforming ecologies (here in Aotearoa/New Zealand we have been hammered with days of catastrophic rain and wind) we are embarking on an extended contemplative exploration of love and clear seeing based around the Sadhana of Buddha Amitabha. A goodly number of you are probably involved with this.

To further support the monthly teachings which will be available for viewing on the GDT Youtube channel, a five page PDF supporting the first class has now been posted and is available by clicking here.

Future PDFs will be added after each class and will be listed in “Resources/2026 Amitabha Retreat”
