£459.00 – Full price
£399.00 – Price

In this week we shall focus on the Root Verses of the Six Bardos, a Tibetan text believed to have been written by Padmasambhava. The Bardos are different modes in which the mind functions: the waking state, dreaming, dying, experiencing reality unmediated by the physical senses, and taking rebirth. We shall explore what all this means for us as Dharma practitioners, especially the implications for how we work with our experience here and now, and how we can prepare for death when it comes.

The retreat will include presentations and guided meditations, devotional practice, meditation reviews and some days of silence.

Suitable for experienced meditators.

RETREAT CATEGORY: TRIRATNA INTENSIVE
