About This Event
Clear Light of Bliss | Weekend Retreat
This special in-depth retreat is intended for those who have attended the International Summer Festival 2022 or have HYT empowerment or the sincere wish to receive HYT in the near future.
Clear Light of Bliss is a remarkable book that explains with exceptional clarity how through training in Mahamudra practices we can transform our very subtle mind into the clear light of bliss, the actual quick path to enlightenment.
It is a unique book the likes of which cannot be found anywhere, even amongst traditional Buddhist scriptures. It includes the uncommon Mahamudra instructions that come from Je Tsongkhapa, with an additional explanation of other practices such as tummo meditation, which was Milarepa’s main practice.
As Venerable Geshe-la himself says, ‘For me this book is a Ganden Emanation Scripture.’
In this weekend retreat we will explore the practice of the Mahamudra instructions as received from the Kadampa Summer Festival 2022.
