The Path of Realization: Vajrayana Retreat
June 29 – July 4 EDT
From June 29 to July 4, join Tulku Migmar and the Samye community for a deep dive into the profound teachings and practices of Guru Padmasambhava, as revealed in the Tukdrup Barché Kunsel (Dispeller of All Obstacles). Whether you wish to stay for the weekend or for the entire week, this retreat will immerse participants in the essence of these ancient wisdom teachings, guiding them towards an authentic understanding of this profound lineage of practice.
Guided by Tulku Migmar, throughout the retreat, participants will engage in two daily group sessions dedicated to the practice of Guru Padmasambhava. These sessions will be complemented by a comprehensive exploration of the preliminary practices, the fundamental aspects of sadhana practice, and intricacies of the ritual details, providing participants with a deep understanding and experiential immersion in this sacred tradition.
In addition to the structured practice sessions, ample time will be allocated for reflection, contemplation, and leisure, allowing participants to integrate their experiences, connect with fellow practitioners, and savor moments of serenity amidst the hermitage’s tranquil surroundings. Furthermore, opportunities for voluntary service will be woven into the retreat schedule, fostering a sense of community and selflessness among participants as they contribute to the collective well-being of our Dharma home in Cooperstown.
Guided by experienced instructors and imbued with the blessings of Guru Padmasambhava, this retreat promises to be a transformative experience, offering participants the tools, insights, and inspiration to dispel obstacles, awaken their inner potential, and walk the path of enlightenment with dignity. Join us for either a weekend or a entire week of spiritual renewal, profound teachings, and profound connection with the timeless wisdom of Guru Padmasambhava.
