White Tara is a feminine expression of the wisdom energy of all Buddhas and the embodiment of pure compassion. It is said that her special blessing has the power to protect us from obstacles in our lives, from illness and suffering. She pacifies adverse circumstances, fears, and the resulting obstacles and dangers, especially those that can lead to premature death and hinder us from realizing enlightenment. She fosters favorable conditions for our practice and longevity and helps us to focus our lives on wholesome action and spiritual practice. Her practice can ultimately lead us to complete liberation.
Based on the commentary of Jamgon Kontrul Lodrö Thaye and the teachings of Gendün Rinpoche, the practice will be explained and practiced together several times a day.
Prerequisites for this retreat are Buddhist refuge and a Vajrayana empowerment.
Suitable as an introduction for beginners and also as a deepening of practice for advanced practitioners.
