The Jetsun prayer given in the concise Tara practice is one of the greatest gifts Chagdud Rinpoche gave us. Because of his deep connection and devotion, Rinpoche received the Jetsun prayer directly from Tara, along with the instruction, “Ask them to do this.”
This retreat is open to everyone, but is especially aimed at those who are interested in or are beginners in the Red Tara practice.
It is not necessary to have received Tara empowerment to participate, but you must know how to recite the Jetsun prayer in the context of the concise Red Tara practice.
Registration deadline: to be confirmed.
This is a practice retreat; there will be no teaching with Lama Tsering.
Participation is in person only, and there is no offering to be made. The offering is for meals and accommodation only.
