Bhutadamara protects against obstacles and negative forces on the path to enlightenment. ‘Bhutadamara’ means subduer of demonic forces. Despite his wrathful appearance\, he stems from compassion. His activity is aimed at liberating beings from suffering\, through a practice of both power and compassion. \n\n\n\nIn the Sakya tradition\, Bhutadamara’s retreat is completed at the beginning of the path\, even before preparatory practices (Ngondro) or retreats to purify karmic obstacles (Ley rung). \n\n\n\nStreaming is offered to those living far away or unable to come to the centre because of sickness or other valid reasons. The Sunday morning (initiation) is not streamed. \n\n\n\nCONTRIBUTION \n\n\n\nAt the temple: €15 per half-day (minima €7) or €75 (minima €35) for the whole weekend. Online: € 7 per half-day session (minima € 3). If this contribution is still too burdensome\, please contact the treasurer of Sakya Thegchen Ling about this.Click here to Register
