Chakrasamvara Retreat

Prerequisite: Chakrasamvara Abhisheka
(Full Participation not Required)

This Hybrid Chakrasamvara Intensive is geared toward the accumulation of the recitation practice in a group setting. If you are just learning the practice, this is a good opportunity to become more familiar with the sadhana. There will be guided practice, instruction of the different sections of the sadhana, and discussion of the wonderful manual by the Vajravairochana Translation Committee. Those who have finished the recitation are also invited to come and deepen their connection with the practice.

This practice intensive will be anchored in an internet-capable shrine room with daily opportunities to practice in the physical representation of Chakrasamvara’s mandala in the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya.

On land, there will be practice opportunities in the physical representation of Chakrasamvara’s mandala in the Great Stupa. During these times Zoom participants will receive the broadcast from another shrine room rather than inside the Stupa. There will be recordings and images from the Stupa for the Zoom session during practice time.

This will give us the best means of offering an authentic Zoom experience, while also protecting the atmosphere and practice container within the Stupa.

This is a group retreat and we will rely on the group participants to fill roles such as Umdze and Chopon. If you are interested in serving in either of these roles in a scholarship capacity please contact Greg at gsmith@dralamountain.org.
