A Vajrayana Retreat with Lama Thierry
Immerse yourself in a profound retreat dedicated to exploring the compassionate heart of Buddha Chenrezig and the transformative power of the Five Wisdoms. In the serene and inspiring environment of Rangjung Yeshe Gomde, you’ll find the perfect setting to deepen your understanding and experience of Vajrayana practice.
Buddha Chenrezig and the Five Wisdoms
Under the guidance of Lama Thierry, an experienced and heartfelt Buddhist teacher, we will explore the Sādhana of Buddha Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. Through teachings, meditation, and guided practice, Lama Thierry will illuminate the fundamental principles of the Vajrayana path—how our perceptions, emotions, and thoughts can be skillfully transformed into wisdom.
Together, we will engage in the recitation and contemplation of the mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG, learning how it can open our hearts and minds. Lama Thierry will show how visualization practice serves as a gateway to connect with our innate compassionate nature, and how we can recognize our own essence as inseparable from Chenrezig—the embodiment of awakened compassion.
