SUMMARY:Ngondro Retreat\, part 2: Guru Yoga\, with Lama Tsering
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1607706788652{margin-right: 3% !important;margin-left: 3% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_btn title="To participate in this retreat it is necessary to have received Guru Rinpoche empowerment." color="juicy-pink" size="lg"][vc_column_text]“Until now\, the guru seems to be someone separate from us\, but one of the skillful means that accompanies us on the path is the continuous reminder that he is not separate from us. [...] My advice is that you unite your mind with the guru's mind many times. The more often you do this\, the better. Needless to say\, this experience will change your life.” \nDilgo Khyentse Rinpoche \n  \nThese teachings on Guru Yoga are a continuation of the Ngondro retreat held in January. \nLama Tsering requests that everyone who wishes to engage in the Ngondro accumulations receive these teachings. \nThe accumulations should only be started after receiving all the teachings and instructions on the 4 thoughts\, refuge and bodhichitta\, mandala offering and purification of Vajrasattva (offered in January) and Guru Yoga. \nThe following may participate in the retreat: \n• Everyone who participated in the Ngondro teaching retreat in January. \n• Those who are already accumulating Ngondro. \n• Those who have already received the Guru Rinpoche empowerment and have not yet begun the accumulations. \nPrerequisite: Having received the Guru Rinpoche empowerment from the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro sadhana. \nIn-person only. \nWhat is Ngondro? \nDudjom Tersar Ngondro consists of a series of profound practices of purification and accumulation of merit\, which include refuge\, bodhichitta\, mandala offering\, Vajrasattva practice and Guru Yoga. These practices prepare and mature the practitioner's mind\, establishing the internal conditions necessary to receive\, comprehend\, and realize higher teachings. \nIt is said that learning Ngöndro is like learning the alphabet\, because although these practices are called “preliminary\,” they are never abandoned by the practitioner and are applied throughout the spiritual path\, until enlightenment. \nThis method\, if applied diligently\, purifies obscurations and negative karma\, creating conditions for the practitioner to receive higher teachings—such as those of the Great Perfection. For this reason\, this retreat is recommended for all those who wish to commit themselves and devote themselves intensely to the spiritual path. \nIf you have any questions\, please write to: eventos@odsalling.org[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="custom" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true" i_custom_background_color="#d14d42" css=".vc_custom_1769034640554{background-color: #ffffff !important;}"]February 28th to March 1st[/vc_cta][vc_cta h2="" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-exclamation-circle" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true"]In person only. \n[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1607706788652{margin-right: 3% !important;margin-left: 3% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_btn title="Pre-register with acommodation and with meals - Option 1" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FFgfcSVn5Js6xAjUw8"][vc_column_text]Accommodation from February 27 to March 1\, including from dinner on the 27th until dinner on the 1st. \nRegistration: until February 21\, at noon. \nDormitory: R$ 647\nShared room: R$ 693\nSuite: R$ 737[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Pre-register with acommodation and with meals - Option 2" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FFgfcSVn5Js6xAjUw8"][vc_column_text]Accommodation from February 27 to March 1\, including from lunch on the 28th until lunch on the 1st. \nRegistration: until February 21\, at noon. \nDormitory: R$ 519\nShared room: R$ 542\nSuite: R$ 564[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Register without accommodation and without meals - R$ 330" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fhome.odsalling.org%2Fen%2Fevento%2F61%2Finscricao"][vc_column_text]Registration until February 27\, at noon.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Register without accommodation and with meals - R$ 460" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fhome.odsalling.org%2Fen%2Fevento%2F62%2Finscricao"][vc_column_text]Lunch and dinner included on February 28 and March 1. \nRegistration: until February 21\, at noon.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion active_section="1" css=".vc_custom_1668727487365{background-color: #ffffff !important;}"][vc_tta_section title="Schedule" tab_id="1609595260660-b5f95fed-c80d"][vc_column_text]Sessions:\n(UTC-3) \nSaturday\, February 28\n· 9:00 am to 12:00 pm\n· 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm\n· 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm \nSunday\, March 1\n· 10:00 am – Sunday open teaching with Lama Tsering\n· 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm – Closing and practice session[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title="Meals" tab_id="1769549382673-686de5af-97e7"][vc_column_text]Meals at the Temple \nImportant:\nMeals offered by the Temple include vegetarian options\, but we are unable to accommodate special diets with ingredient restrictions. \nMeals at the Temple are provided for those who selected this option when registering. \n  \n\nMaha Pizza \nOur food truck is undergoing renovations and will be closed during this retreat. \n\nBring your own meal \nYou can also bring your own meal to heat up.
