Chöd Practice Seminar

Tersar-Lüjin-Chöd-Retreat – Cutting through all obstacles on the path to awakening
Led by Drubla Ani Pema Khandro and Ani Phüntsok Sangmo
In the 11th century, the great Tibetan master Machik Labdrön created an extraordinary practice: a union of sutra and tantra, imbued with the highest vision and realized through radical generosity – complete surrender. It is the surrender of the ego, of the body, a radical letting go of all clinging. What remains is pure luminosity, filled with overwhelming compassion for all beings.
If you would like to get to know or deepen this profound practice – accompanied by heart-wrenchingly beautiful melodies – this retreat is for you.
The Chöd practice Tersar Lüjin (body offering) according to the Chokling Tersar lineage is very compact and yet contains all the essential points. In this retreat you will not only learn how to play the instruments and sing the melodies, but you will also be guided by two highly experienced Chöd practitioners so that you can continue the practice at home.
This practice is deeply transformative.
You won’t regret it. Just come.

About the leaders of the retreat
Drubla Ani Pema Khandro was ordained in 1986 at the age of 25. She completed the traditional three-year retreat and currently works as one of the vajra masters (Dorje Lopön) of the Nagi Gompa nunnery.
Lama Ani Phüntsok Sangmo has also completed the traditional three-year retreat and is an experienced practitioner at Nagi Gompa Nunnery.
Nagi Gompa nunnery:
Nagi Gompa was the residence and retreat of the late Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. Under his guidance, the nuns there developed a strong tradition of meditation and Vajrayana practice, including the Sangtik Phurba practice. Their practice is so highly regarded that even high-ranking Tibetan Buddhist masters regularly request prayers from the nuns, such as Tara practices.
Practicing a sadhana with nuns from a living, authentic transmission means experiencing practice as a living teaching: Melodies that have arisen from realization and have been passed down through generations work beyond words and concepts and open up a space in which blessing, letting go and the condensed essence of the practice can unfold naturally.
