Introduction to the Kalachakra Mandala Retreat

Registration closes on Friday, August 28th for this free teaching.

In this three-day teaching cycle, you will be introduced to Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen’s short text “Praises to Glorious Kalachakra: A Summarised Approach to the Sadhana.” This text provides a skillful means to familiarise yourself with the various deities of the body, speech, mind, and primordial wisdom mandalas of the Glorious Kalachakra Tantra. It is ideal as a preliminary for practitioners who aspire to engage with the more extensive Kalachakra sadhanas. The teachings will follow Dolpopa’s auto-commentary which clarifies the meaning of each deity and how they each uniquely express the primordial purity of buddha-nature.

In-person Retreat
Spaces at Kalapa retreat center in Austria are limited and will, therefore, be awarded in chronological order of registration. Any additional registrations received above our maximum capacity will be placed on a waitlist. Out of respect for other people who wish to participate, if you register and then are unable to attend, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can give your space to the next person on the list. Failure to give proper notice and not showing up to the event will affect your ability to participate in future events. Please be considerate to others who wish to attend.

All participants, whether in person or online must register below to indicate that they will be attending. Those registered for the online teachings will be sent further information and links via email as we approach the date of the event.
