The third International Gnostic Retreat sponsored by Glorian Publishing was a profound experience for all who attended. Students from twelve countries gathered at Padmasambhava Buddhist Center in upstate New York. Due to the dedication and focused effort of all who attended, the retreat generated a very powerful and inspiring atmosphere of devotion and sincere concern for the wellbeing of humanity. Soon we will share with everyone what the attendees had to say about the retreat.

Glorion Publishing would like to thank all those who made the sacrifice and effort to attend the retreat and infuse it with their sincerity and positive conscious values. We also thank all of the people from around the world whose financial and spiritual support made it possible for Glorian to provide this experience to the attending students and instructors.

With deepest gratitude and humility, we also thank Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche, renowned khenpos of the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma tradition, who generously opened their incredible temple to us. This unprecedented gesture of interfaith understanding underscores our mutual point of view: that dharma is universal and accessible to all people who are willing to overcome the narrow confines of the egotistical mind. The staff of Padmasambhava Buddhist Center demonstrated this through their service to the retreat attendees, and provided a living lesson of real dharma in action, which is always defined through service to others.

The successful conclusion of this retreat closes one door but opens another. It is our prayer to bring more retreat events to those who need them. We invite you to let us know how we can help you and your community. Cities and countries who demonstrate a strong need for Gnostic Retreats can receive the help they need.
