SUMMARY:WINTER RETREAT on BUDDHA VAIROCANA
DESCRIPTION:Guided by: KHENPO TASHI SANGPO \n\n\n\nDate: TUE 26.12.2023 – MON 1.1.2024  \n\n\n\nTime: Tuesday 26.12. at 16.00 o’clock – Monday 1.1. after breakfast \n\n\n\nPlace: On-site at Sakya Tsechen Ling\, Kuttolsheim & online through Zoom \n\n\n\nLanguage: EN \n\n\n\nTranslations available: FR\, IT\, DE\, NL \n\n\n\n\nVairocana\, or the Luminous One\, one of the five Dhyani Buddhas\, is a very important figure in Tibetan Buddhism.  \n\n\n\nMeditation on Vairocana\, who embodies the supreme wisdom of Dharmadhatu\, liberates from ignorance and rebirth in lower realms. \n\n\n\nIn contrast to the emphasis on the teachings of the historical Buddha Śākyamuni in his Physical Body (Nirmanakāya)\, Vajrayana Buddhism places the timeless teachings of the Buddha’s Dharma Body (Dharmakāya) at the center of its doctrinal universe. This “cosmic Buddha” is called Mahāvairocana and is beyond all conception of worldly duality\, but its essence is within all phenomena (dharmas) as their Buddha-nature or “seed-to-enlightenment” (Bodhicitta).  \n\n\n\nIn Esoteric Buddhism\, enlightenment means to realize that one’s own Buddha-nature is identical with Mahāvairocana and can even be achieved in this lifetime while possessing a human body. \n\n\n\nPARTICIPATION PREREQUISITES FOR TEACHINGS & MEDITATION SESSIONS: \n\n\n\nThose who  \n\n\n\n–       have already received the initiation of Buddha Vairocana from a qualified master \n\n\n\n–       OR will participate in the initiation of Buddha Vairocana conferred by Khenpo Tashi Sangpo Lag at the beginning of the retreat on 26.12. at 16.00 o’clock to the participants in the temple (without streaming) \n\n\n\nTRANSLATIONS: \n\n\n\nThe teachings will be given in English and translated into French.  \n\n\n\nTranslations in another language – Italian\, German\, and Dutch– will be arranged if we receive a min. number of requests per language by 10 December 2023. \n\n\n\nPROGRAM OF THE RETREAT: \n\n\n\nTuesday 26 December 2023 \n\n\n\n16.00 – 18.00 Initiation to Buddha Vairocana (no streaming\, only for participants in the temple) \n\n\n\n18.30 – 19.30 Welcome & first meditation session on Buddha Vairocana. \n\n\n\nWednesday 27 December – Sunday 31 December 2023 \n\n\n\n07.00 – 08.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n10.00 – 11.30 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n14.00 – 15.30 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n17.00 – 18.00 Teaching on the sadhana and quality of Buddha Vairocana  \n\n\n\n18.00 – 19.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana & Mahakala ritual. \n\n\n\nMonday 1 January 2024 \n\n\n\n07.00 – 08.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana & Long-life prayers for Their Holinesses  \n\n\n\nEnd of the retreat. \n\n\n\n10.00 – 11.00 Tara Ritual (optional) \n\n\n\nCONTRIBUTION:  \n\n\n\nMin. € 70.- for online or on-site retreat (not including food and accommodation).  \n\n\n\nFor on-site retreat\, and after pre-registering specifying your wishes for accommodation and meals\, you will receive a specific e-mail indicating your contribution to the costs. \n\n\n\nYou can make your payment in one of the ways described at https://sakyatsechenling.eu/en/online-payment/ . \n\n\n\nWe thank you much in advance. \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION & PARTICIPATION LINK: \n\n\n\nIn order to participate\, we invite you to register by clicking HERE FOR ONLINE RETREAT or HERE FOR ON-SITE RETREAT until 10 December 2023 at the latest.  \n\n\n\nThose who wish to participate on-site are invited to register early as the number of places is limited. \n\n\n\nTogether with the receipt/confirmation of your registration you will receive further information and for online retreat the participation link.
