The meaning of the perfection of wisdom-

do not seek it elsewhere; you have it yourself.

That is the meaning of inherent great lucid clarity,

not established as an entity or with characteristics. 

When you go to a haunted place, if gods and demons

manifest overwhelming presence, separate awareness from matter.

This body is matter, like stone;

no harm can come to it.

                                                                          - Aryadeva the Brahmin

The upcoming first ONLINE CHÖ RETREAT features the sole Indian source of Chö - Aryadeva’s “Esoteric Instructions”. This is an auspicious transmission for our first Dakini’s Whisper Chö retreat together. The transmission and commentary are interwoven with actual Chö practice, meditation and movement in order to integrate Chö Mahamudra with the body and mind-stream. The schedule is arranged as follows, to accommodate as much as possible, different time zones.

 

Practically, this retreat involves four sessions per day – two together, two on your own. This has the additional benefit of making the schedule flexible enough for students in both the U.S. and Europe to participate in the retreat without having to push their sleep and waking routine. Those in the early time zone will practice on their own before the two communal sessions, and those in the late time zone will practice after. 

 

Doing retreats is a crucial element for serious Vajrayana practice. This is a real way of fitting a retreat into everyday 

life while drawing upon the support and inspiration of the teachings, the teacher, and the sangha. It will allow students to prepare, explore and to develop confidence in running their own retreats.
