Prerequisite: Chakrasamvara Abhisheka
Come join in the practice of Chakrasamvara in the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya led by the Lopon, Lodro Dorje. We will integrate Chakrasamvara mandala practice with the inner yoga of chandali instructions from the second Karmapa Karma Pakshi and Thrangu Rinpoche. Mixing the yidam visualization with the inner yoga and mahamudra is a profound approach. We will be practicing in the Stupa with the vivid physical representation of the Chakrasamvara mandala and taking the instructions step by step during the retreat. We conclude with a feast on the final day.
