Program Start Date & Time: December 27th, 9:00 am MT
Program Schedule: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm MT
Join us to practice a special sadhana (liturgy) invoking Yeshe Tsogyal, the foremost Tibetan yogini and female master who played a founding role for Buddhism in Tibet. As a devotional practice of guru yoga, the sadhana offers a method to cultivate wisdom and connect to blessings.
This is a special day-long intensive for group practice of her sadhana over the holidays. We will practice “The Brilliant Light of the Blessings of Great Bliss: A Guru Yoga based on Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal” by Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. There are two sessions planned for 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 – 5:00 pm MT. You are welcome to attend either or both, online or in-person.
If you have received this sadhana from Rabjam Rinpoche, Ringu Tulku, or Sean Price, you are welcome to join us to deepen in the practice without any further preparation.
If you have not, we will arrange an occasion to receive the lung or “reading transmission” prior to the intensive. Please indicate if you need the lung when registering. Anyone with a strong Mahayana foundation and inspiration to connect to Yeshe Tsogyal can receive the lung.
Please review Drala Mountain Center’s current Virus & Flu Policy before you arrive for your retreat.
