What to expect

This online weekend retreat offers the opportunity to join a group retreat with Lama Tenzin, right from your own home! This way you have the advantage of a private retreat setting, as well as the benefit of practicing in a group and receiving the guidance of a Lama.

Beginners can become familiar with a retreat schedule and structure; more advanced practitioners can deepen their retreat experience.

The basic structure and time schedule will be according to our retreat tradition.

We will provide practice material in 3 languages, including sadhana texts, videos for download, Zoom video streams for group practices, and Zoom live teaching sessions with Lama Tenzin.

Who can participate

This retreat is for anyone who received the Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel empowerment (Wang) or took part in a Ngakso Drubchen, as well as for those who intend to receive this empowerment in the future.

However, since this weekend retreat has a schedule of 6 sessions per day (4 sessions of practice and 2 sessions of teachings), we would recommend that only those who already have some experience with this sadhana join the retreat.

About the Sadhana

Trinley Nyingpo is a special yoga taught by Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava to eliminate all outer, inner, and secret obstacles on the path of Dharma practice. This practice is part of Chokgyur Lingpa’s Treasure Cycle Guru’s Heart Practice that Dispels all Obstacles.

Ritual

As this is a short retreat geared towards beginners, the focus is practicing with your mind rather than doing all rituals exactly according to tradition. Therefore, if you know how to do the rituals such as opening the shrine, and so forth, you are welcome to do them; however, if you don’t, please do not worry – just focus on the visualizations, recitations, and a relaxed and kind mind.
