Cost: £195.00 + optional donation to the teacher
This retreat takes as its theme the system of the Nine Yanas, or vehicles, which covers the whole range of the Buddhist path from the fundamental teachings of Refuge and the arousing of Bodhicitta, to the different levels of Vajrayana, culminating in the supreme view of Maha Ati.
The daily schedule will include sitting meditation sessions, interspersed with walking meditation, totalling around five hours each day. There will also be a daily activity / work period, and a teaching session, with time for questions and discussion. In addition there will be plenty of time for rest and relaxation.
This retreat is particularly aimed at people who have already started formless meditation practice, and may also have begun the Lion’s Roar or Endless Compassionate Vision training with the Longchen Foundation. If you are interested but unsure about whether or not this retreat is suitable for you, please contact us at the email address below.
David has been involved with Longchen Foundation for some 30 years. He is editor of Rigdzin Shikpo’s recent book: ‘Never Turn Away: The Buddhist Path beyond Hope and Fear’ (Wisdom Publications, 2007).
