The Blissful Path Weekend Retreat

Share this information:

(This retreat is only open for those who have received a Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment within the tradition of Kadampa Buddhism)

This is a precious opportunity to gain a heartfelt and deep experience of the joyful practice of Vajrayogini.  By relying upon Buddha Vajrayogini we will discover the true nature of our world and the real meaning of Tantra – the inner realisation that directly protects us from all ordinary appearances and conceptions – the root of samsara.

The retreat will emphasise deepening our experience of both generation stage and completion stage (meditating on the channels, winds, and drops) using the Vajrayogini “Blissful Path” sadhana. There will be four sessions of guided retreat every day. This will be a truly meaningful and joyful weekend!

The retreat schedule

The retreat will begin Friday 21st October in the evening at 7.30 pm with an introduction and conclude on Sunday 23 October at 1.00pm with lunch. There will be four sessions of retreat each day and, to preserve the peaceful experience of the retreat, silence will be observed during the mornings.

The session times will be as follows:

Saturday
Session 1: 08.00 – 09.15 am
Session 2: 11.45 – 13.00 pm

Each session will consist of Blissful Path prayers, a short Buddhist teaching to introduce the meditation for the session, and a guided meditation.

Retreaters are encouraged to attend whatever sessions they can within their own capacity and in a way that feels comfortable and natural.
