Online Participation in Pre-Retreat to 3-year-retreat

The 3-year pre-retreat will start soon. Our hearts are filled with gratitude and appreciation that we are close to completing the primary construction work needed. Thanks to the generosity of the worldwide sangha, we were finally able to finance all those renovations. We want to give a special thanks to the whole team of volunteers who have been devoting all their time and energy to preparing the retreat area, and to everyone who has been working in the background.Our team is still diligently working on some last details. We invite you to participate in the merit by contributing to several remaining projects. These include furnishing the shrine hall with dharma items and purchasing the technical equipment for live-streaming and recording practices. You can still contribute to our campaign on Chuffed.

The Daily group practice sessions are live online during pre-retreat. Everyone is invited to join!

The focus of the pre-retreat is the removal of obstacles for practice. Thus the main practice will be the Vajrasattva sadhana with a strong focus on the accumulation of the hundred syllables Vajrasattva mantra.

You can join the morning practice from 7 - 8 am CET when we will be reciting the Buddha Shakyamuni practice, Concise Daily Practice, and Sang & White Sur.

In the afternoons approximately 2 - 5:15 pm CET we will offer Vajrasattva practice with tsok, and Vajrakilaya & Protector practice including Narak Konchak and Red Sur.  Every 3 Year retreatant will try to accumulate 110.000 Vajrasattva mantras in these 3 months and the online group may also take part in these accumulations. We have the aspiration for the online group to also accumulate 110.000 mantras as a group.

All further details will be provided in our Daily Practice WhatsApp group. You can join here. The participation is free. Any offerings received will be dedicated to the 3 Year Retreat.

Online retreat option:

If you would like to dive more deeply into the practices you have the option to join it as a retreat. This will also give you access to our collection of video teachings with Lama Tenzin regarding these practices and different practice materials. Lama la kindly also agreed to be available for questions & answer sessions from time to time.

Lama Tenzin has asked that each online retreat participant fulfills the following:

• Take part in the group practices for at least 7 days during the 3 month period
