Tonglen Meditation Retreat
with Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche
*Online with Mandarin translation available
Tara is said to have been born from the tears of Chenrezig, deity of great compassion, who wept at the plight of the suffering of sentient beings. She pledged to help him liberate beings. Her female form represents the wisdom that liberates from samsara. Thus, she is also known as the Mother of the Buddhas.
Buddha Dzambhala is connected with wealth, prosperity, and good fortune, allowing one to more effectively practice generosity to benefit other beings.
Tonglen Meditation Retreat is an excellent practice for beginners & all levels of practitioners. Chenrezig practice cultivates wisdom and compassion through visualization, mantra recitation, and meditation, and is a foundation for the practice of Tonglen. Tonglen is a meditation practice that can transform both our personal and collective grief and suffering by awakening the love and compassion that are inherent in all beings.
