The Blissful Path to Keajra Heaven

Post Fall Festival Retreat with Gen Kelsang Devi

For last minute reservations, please email info@kailash.org

Following the International Fall Festival in Brasil, Gen Kelsang Devi will guide a retreat based on the teachings and commentaries given.

Having received the Highest Yoga Tantra blessing empowerment, the gateway through which we enter Tantra, enjoy an immersive, inner journey beyond our ordinary self and world in this week retreat. Deepen your understanding and experience of the profound practices of generation stage of Vajrayogini in the context of The Blissful Path sadhana under skilful guidance. The retreat will also include training in the profound practice of The Uncommon Yoga of Inconceivability based on Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s transmission and commentary. Engaging in this superior transference of consciousness has inconceivable meaning.

Take the blessings of the recent Festival and these sublime practices deep into your heart within this beautiful and blessed retreat environment. Simple yet immensely powerful, these practices and meditations lead us swiftly to pure Dakini Land, Keajra Heaven.

This retreat is only for those with HYT empowerment. Both new and experienced practitioners welcome.

In the meditation session breaks throughout the retreat there is time to relax and walk in the beautiful surroundings. Also, each person on a group retreat will help out in the breaks with a small job to ensure the retreat runs smoothly.

Silence
During retreat it is always quiet and our meditation sessions are as silent as possible beyond the usual chanted prayers and guidance. Outside of sessions people have the freedom to choose to be silent if they wish or to talk quietly and meaningfully with each other if they prefer.

To maximise the benefit from this retreat, it is strongly recommended to attend the International Fall Festival to receive the blessing empowerment and teachings. Please click on the link below for more information and booking.
