Bodhisattvas, the great spiritual heroes who have vowed to rescue all living beings from suffering, undertake rigorous training across numerous lifetimes in increasingly higher and higher levels of compassion and skillful actions. Rinpoche will give commentary on Thokme Zangpo’s text, “The Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva.” This is an important Buddhist lojong (or mind training) text, intended to train the mind in increasingly skillful methods of arising and maintaining compassion and equanimity, even in the face of difficulties.

In the future, a large retreat center and monastery will be built here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNzUI-k3PfA Attend one or both sessions. The Green Wisdom Light meditation will be bestowed each session. This special meditation practice is tailored to the western mind and was created to emphasize transformative compassion as the basis for attaining enlightenment.

Retreat allows you to leave behind your daily concerns and focus on your own inner healing and spiritual development. There will be plenty of time for meditation and spiritual sharing.

After a great deal of preparation, we must then sincerely make the request for a tremendous burst of illuminated power and energy, like a flash of lightning, to open the door to our enlightened true nature. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Die Segnung des Erwachens sind nicht wie die in unserer Meditationspraxis beschriebene sanfte Kaskade der erhellenden Weisheit, die wir in unseren Alltagsgeist schütten, um sie für unser spirituelles Wachstum zu nutzen....
