Title
padmasambhava and the vajra of awakening

This retreat is appropriate for people with an established meditation practice within the Triratna Buddhist Community. The retreat will draw on the inspiration of Padmasambhava, Tantric Guru, who was invited to Tibet to transform the deeper, more unruly forces of the mind Draws on inspiration from Padmasambhava, the original Tantric Guru, who guides us to transform the deeper, more unruly forces of our mind.
Padmasambhava is seen to be both a historical and mythic figure within Buddhism. He was a renowned Yogi, Dharma Teacher, Shaman, and Healer.
Through meditation, silence and ritual we will explore both the energetic and receptive elements of his teaching, which lead us toward full liberation. On the basis of mindfulness and metta, and with the support of silence and ritual, we will explore the practice of ‘just sitting’ where we open to direct experience and the heart of awareness.
