Six – Session Guru Yoga Practice
Highest Yoga Tantra
August 12-19, 2012
Light on the Hill Retreat Center
Van Etten, New York
Instructors: Geshe Lobsang Dakpa, with resident Namgyal Monks and Faculty
The system of Kalachakra highest yoga tantra has a rich history as one of the most important tantras in Tibetan Buddhism for removing obstacles to Buddhahood. In recent years it has become closely associated with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and the Namgyal monks.
The second Namgyal summer retreat will focus on Kalachakra practice, and is open only to those who have received the Kalachakra initiation, or initiation in any other highest yoga tantra. It will be conducted in the manner of a traditional Tibetan meditation retreat, led by Geshe Lobsang Dakpa of Namgyal Monastery India and the monks of Namgyal Monastery Ithaca.
During this week-long retreat, students will participate in four sessions each day with guidance in the practice of Kalachakra six-session guru yoga, visualization, mantra recitation, and will receive teachings on the paths and grounds. For more information, visit the Namgyal website for this event.
Geshe Lobsang Dakpa was born in the town of Melto Gyma, near Lhasa in 1968. In 1983 he became a monk at Gaden monastery in Tibet where he practiced the tantric rituals and studied the major philosophical basic texts. See more biographical information here.
