3 to 12 July, 12 July Fire Puja
This retreat is an approaching retreat. By practicing the sadhana, reciting mantras and exploring together, we become more and more familiar with Cittamani Tara and her wishes, so that we are fully able to be there for everyone and support them.
We are going to pay ample attention to the symbolism of Cittamani tara and the 21 Taras: The meaning of the various symbols, why are they there and how do we use them? In this way, we’ll understand more and more what it is like to live life as Cittamani Tara.
For those who want to recite the 100 000 mantras so that you can do the self-initiation later, it is advisable to start at home. If you want to do that, please contact Ron Twisk.
Through mantra recitation, (guided) meditation, exchange and study, we will discover how all topics from the Lam Rim are closely intertwined with the practice of Vajrayana and vice versa.
This retreat is suitable for anyone who wants to increase her/his ability to help themselves and others. Condition for participation is to have received a Cittamani Tara initiation and accompanying commentary lessons.
Shorter participation in the retreat is possible. You start on July 3 and end when you want (minimum 3 days)
