Meditation Days and in-depth Buddhist Practice

21 Taras Retreat with Ani Losang Palmo
26.-30. April

As every year, we have the pleasure of welcoming Erw. Ani Losang Palmo for a retreat of the 21 Taras. After a public lecture we will practice with the sadhana of the 21 Taras of Ven. Lodrö Tulku Rinpoche.

The 21 manifestations of Green Tara help us to strengthen our compassion and dissolve karmic burdens that form obstructive patterns within us. By developing warmth of heart, we find inner peace. In this way we practise not only for our own benefit, but above all for the benefit of others. This Tibetan Buddhist practice includes visualizations, mantras and prayers.

If you are interested and have not yet taken Buddhist refuge, please contact us in advance. Online participation is also possible. Those who are familiar with the practice of the 21 Taras can also take part in individual meditation sessions.
