About this retreat

On this three week retreat, we will engage in the Guru Yoga of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka and gain experience of reciting his mantra. This will help us draw closer and closer to our Root Guru, and create very powerful actions that will cause Kadam Dharma to flourish in our hearts and throughout the world.

There is no better offering to repay our Guru’s kindness. At the 2022 NKT-IKBU International Spring Festival in Malaga, following Venerable Geshe-la’s advice, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong gave the transmission and commentary of the mantra of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka. By reciting this mantra with faith, we will place very strong potentials within our mind to easily accomplish all spiritual attainments. This is magical!

The retreat begins with an introduction on Jan 8^th. Kelsang Khacho will explain the instructions which will enable people to engage in a close retreat collecting 100,000 recitations of this mantra, as well as 10,000 Vajradaka mantras with burning offerings to do on their own.

For those who do not have the time to engage in the full retreat are welcome to attend any of the sessions. If you are dropping in, please arrive 15 minutes before the start of each session.

Everyone who wishes to attend any of the retreat sessions are encouraged to attend the empowerment.

Everyone is welcome.

Retreat Fees: coming soon
