SUMMARY:Guru Yoga & Mandala Offering Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Including an Introduction and some guidance\, most sessions of the retreat will be unguided. \nGuru Yoga and Mandala offering retreat combines two of the four great preliminary guides that we need to practice if we want to gain Mahamudra realisations – the quick path to enlightenment. \nWe all wish for spiritual realisations\, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity\, accumulating merit\, and receiving blessings. \nIn this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings. Making mandala offerings is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving powerful blessings of all the Buddhas of the ten directions through our Spiritual Guide. \nThe introduction for this retreat will be available for livestream for members.
