City-retreat with Gen Dragpa
Guru 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.
We may sincerely wish for spiritual realizations, but these depend upon creating positive inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings. Therefore we need to engage in special methods to gather these conditions.
In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit, or positive energy, by making mandala offerings and receiving blessings by engaging in Guru Yoga practice.
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.
There will be three sessions a day, on Wednesday Thursday and Friday and four sessions on Saturday and Sunday. The practice is done using the sadhana Offering to the Spiritual Guide.
This course is taught by Gen Kelsang Dragpa. He is the Resident Teacher at Nordic KMC, and National Spiritual Director for the Nordic Region. He has been practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for many years and has been an ordained monk since 1993. His way of teaching is very practical and easy to understand.
