Guru Yoga Mandala Offering • Unguided Retreat

About the Unguided Retreat

In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit, or positive energy, by making mandala offerings and receiving powerful blessings by engaging in the Guru Yoga practice of Je Tsongkhapa.
Mandala offering is an offering of the entire universe visualized as a Pure Land, with all its inhabitants as pure beings. By making mandala offerings we create the cause to be reborn in such a pure world.
Through receiving Wisdom Buddha’s powerful blessings, we can easily and swiftly make progress in and complete our practice of the stages of the path of both Sutra and Tantra. Through this we can fulfill our own and others’ wishes.

In each session we recite Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers with a pause to make mandala offerings.

Please note: this is an intermediate level retreat and the retreat sessions are not guided. There will be periods of silence observed at the Centre—from early morning till noon and after 9pm.

Tea and coffee provided. Please bring your own vegetarian lunch to enjoy at the Centre.
