From Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5
Study and Meditation Retreat
Lama Jigmé Rinpoché and Lama Trehor

The aim of these three-yearly retreats is to allow us to rightly understand ourselves and the world, as well as to train in an authentic meditation. The teachings consist in oral instructions and aim at developing the philosophical aspect of the Dharma, with essential subjects such as emptiness or the Buddha nature. On this basis, guided meditations enable us to practice rightly, whatever our personal practice is.
The retreats are placed under the direction of Rinpoché, with the participation of the lamas and druplas of Dhagpo, and occasionally, of a khenpo (scholar).

The Amitabha practice
Lama Jigmé Rinpoché explained that there are several forms of meditative practices. The Amitabha practice is one of them. Amitabha, the Buddha of infinite light, is associated with the land of Dewachen and this meditation allows to create, for oneself and others, the causes of rebirth in this pure land. Lama Tréhor began to transmit this practice last year. He’ll come back in June to continue the transmission of the ritual, at the meaning level as well as the implementation level. The retreat includes teaching sessions, guided meditations (practice of calm abiding), and question-and-answer sessions.
