Abiding in the Blessings of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka | 21 - 26th Mar

Abiding in the Blessings of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka

Dates: 21 - 26th March 2025

Teacher: with Gen la Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU and Resident Teacher at Tara International Retreat Centre.

Blessing Empowerment of Je Tsongkhapa with Vajrayana Mahamudra Retreat

Before engaging in this special retreat we will receive the blessing empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa and instructions on how to engage in the meditation practice.  These instructions are very blessed.  Je Tsongkhapa himself received them direct from Manjushri and passed them to his close disciples from whom we have received them from our Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.  We should rejoice in our unique good fortune.

In the term 'Mahamudra', 'Maha' means great and refers to great bliss, and 'mudra' means 'non-deceptive' and refers to emptiness.  The actual Mahamudra, therefore, is the union of our own great bliss and emptiness.  On this short retreat we will follow Je Tsongkhapa's oral instructions of Mahamudra, his uncommon instructions of Mahamudra that he extracted from the Ganden Emanation Scripture.  We will follow the blessed sadhana "Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra".  Everybody is welcome.

Everybody is welcome.
