Annual Hevajra Retreat
11-15 September
with Lama Choedak Rinpoche
The annual Hevajra retreat has been going for a number of years, providing a meeting place for all recipients of Hevajra and Cause and Path Empowerments and Lamdre to come together and go through the practice with Lama Choedak Rinpoche.
This is an excellent opportunity to deepen the understanding of Hevajra practice. Rinpoche's special training in Lamdre practice usually allows him only to teach the preliminary parts, but with the Hevajra retreat, he opens the jewel box of the Sakyapa's Lamdre treasure, which is relished by many fortunate people.
All eligible to attend the Hevajra retreat need to apply as soon as possible. Rinpoche may also teach on the inner generation stage of the sadhana.
Dates: 7.00pm Thursday, 11 September to 5.00pm Monday, 15 September
Cost: Full $320, Concession/Member $285 (includes all meals and accommodation)
