Through the practices of contemplating the mind on a symbol and settling the mind in the natural state beyond concepts\, one gains these benefits: the mind becomes focused\, stable\, non-distracted\, calm and gentle\, confident and capable. When the mind becomes capable one can be free from suffering and achieve ultimate happiness. \nThe main texts for this teaching cycle are: \n\nThe Fifteen yoga movements of the A-Khrid Gagsel Trulkhor — composed by the Bon great master Drugyalwa Yungdrung\, born in the 13th century.\nThe Forty movement of the A-Khrid Bogdon Trulkhor — composed by the great master Shardza Rinpoche\, born in the 19th century.\n\nThese will be taught in combination with practice. \nThese of trulkhor (movement exercises) are highly beneficial both for advancing the mind’s meditation practice\, and for healing physical illness and removing obstacles. \nBy practising with the key points of the movements — such as opening the knots of the channels and purifying the channel pathways — this practice is greatly beneficial for both physical health and mental wellbeing. It has the special purpose of preventing illness in the body and suffering in the mind. \nPlease register at: info@ligmincha.at \nZoom Participation: Please register by July 27\, so we can send you the Zoom link in time! \nPrerequisites: This retreat is suitable for both beginners and long-time practitioners! Khenpo la is a very experienced teacher and will guide us through both the teachings and the practical exercises with great skill. \nLocation:  Panchen Losang Chogyen Gelug – Center\, Servitengasse 15\, 1090 Wien \nSeminar language:  English; translation into German will be provided if needed \nDonation:     €170\,- / €140\,- for members of Ligmincha Austria;  Zoom participation           € 140\,- / €120\,-   (Discounts available based on self-assessment) \nBank details:     Ligmincha Austria\, IBAN: AT36 6000 0103 1034 3485 \nBIC: BAWAATWW;       Purpose: “A-Tri” July 2026 \nAn event organized by Ligmincha Austria e.V. | Landsteinergasse 10/13 | 1160 Vienna \nWith warm regards in Bön\, \nTeam Ligmincha Austria (Heide\, Renate\, Erich\, Robert) \nRetreat mit \nMenri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche \nA-TRI – Belehrungen mit intensiver Praxis und Trulkhor-Übungen \n Juli – 02.
