About
We can spend a whole day with thousand-armed (eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara – ‘Mahakaruna’ – the nature of our Guru’s great compassion, making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations and thereby accumulate huge merit, purify vast negativity for ourself and others and receive the most powerful blessing to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.
Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making three sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar‘, over one or two days. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.
Gen Tilopa will grant the Mahayana Precepts, then we’ll engage in three unguided sessions.
To engage in this retreat you must take the Mahayana Precepts in the morning session and attend every session.
What are the Eight Mahayana Precepts?
The essence of the practice is to take eight precepts and to keep them purely for a period of twenty-four hours.
