We invite you to join us for the Longchenpa Retreat and Ceremony held from Monday, January 30th to Sunday, February 12th, 2012.The retreat program, led by Arnaud Maitland, will offer an intensive verse-by-verse study of excerpts from Longchenpa’s text Kindly Bent to Ease Us, Vol. I chapters 1-7, culminating in a 4-day ceremony or puja of chanting. The Longchenpa Ceremony, practiced during this time by Nyingma students all over the world, commemorates the parinirvana of Longchenpa.
The all-knowing Longchenpa (1308-1364) stands at the center of the Nyingma tradition. Acknowledged by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism as one of Tibet’s greatest masters, he wrote works that cover every aspect of the Buddhist path. His writings, in clear and luminous prose, have the power to awaken our own innermost knowing and inspire us to act on the knowledge we already have.
