ABOUT
Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering Retreat - 26th & 27th November 2021 with Gen Kelsang Mila
The Guru Yoga and Mandala offering retreat combines two of the four great preliminary guides that we need to practice if we want to gain Mahamudra realisations – the quick path to enlightenment.
We all wish for spiritual realizations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.
In this in-depth guided retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit, or positive energy, by making mandala offerings and receiving blessings by engaging in Guru Yoga practice. This is a special practice that enables us to strengthen our connection with our Spiritual Guide.
Gen Kelsang Mila will share helpful ways we can incorporate these practices into our daily life, so our actions become very meaningful. If we wish to realize emptiness, and free our self from all pain and suffering, and help others to do the same, we definatly need these inner conditions for our mind.
Every is Welcome !
