SUMMARY:Great Drikung Phowa Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Teachings and Practices on Living and Dying \nby Venerable Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche  \n4-Day Closed Commitment Retreat  \nThis retreat will also include special teachings from Garchen Rinpoche via Skype on Friday March 24th 11:00AM. \nDownload Complete Information Here: \n[ddownload id=”4650″ text=”Great Drikung Phowa Retreat Flyer”] \nGreat Drikung Phowa Chenmo Practice  \n“The Standing Blade of Grass”  \nThe Phowa practice is the most direct and quickest method by which one may be assured of a positive rebirth and possible enlightenment at the time of death. During this retreat\, attendees will have the same opportunity of receiving and practicing the Phowa transmission and teachings as did many hundreds-of-thousands of Tibetans and other practitioners around the world. Also included in the retreat will be the Nyingma Lineage Phowa transmission that Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche received from Khenpo Munsel. \nKhenpo will explain the stages of death from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective\, including the signs that accompany each stage and techniques that allow practitioners to use the process of death as an opportunity for realization. Additionally\, Khenpo will give the transmission for Phowa (transference) this technique allows accomplished practitioners to die consciously and transfer their consciousness to the pure realm of Amitabha Buddha.  \nAfter receiving this transmission\, students engage in diligent practice until unmistakable physical signs of accomplishment occur\, the arising of these signs indicate that the practitioner will be able to successfully implement the practice at the actual time of death.  \n[dropshadowbox align=”center” effect=”lifted-both” width=”75%” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ] \nRetreatants are recommended to commit to continuous 4-days and nights at Gar Drolma.\nDaily commuting to the retreat will be permitted if all teachings and practices are attended.\nBring clothing\, toiletries\, medications\, bedding\, mats\, mattresses\, etc.\nSimple vegetarian meals will be provided.\nFee includes study and practice books.\n$200 per person/entire retreat (payment below).\n[/dropshadowbox]
