Tummo Practice Retreat in January with Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso

Join us this January for our first Tummo Practice Retreat at Serenity Ridge, with Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso. You can attend for three or seven days, in person at Serenity Ridge or online via Zoom.

All are welcome! Anyone who attend the retreat, including those new to the practice of tummo, will meet the prerequisite to attend the teachings of Tummo Part 4 with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche at the summer retreats at Serenity Ridge in Virginia and at Chamma Ling Poland in 2024.

The practice retreat will be held January 4-11, 2024 and is intended to support practitioners who have participated in Tenzin Rinpoche’s tummo teachings. Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso, resident lama of Ligminicha Poland, will give instruction and advice on all the components of tummo that Rinpoche has covered in his current teaching cycle, including the prayers, nine breathings, tsa lung, the ordinary and extraordinary preliminaries, and the practice of jam lung. But the focus will be on developing a deeper familiarity and experience with the practices.

Students who have the time are strongly encouraged to attend for the full week to experience the fullest ripening of their practice. Because the mission of Ligmincha is not only to preserve and share the Bon teachings but also to see their capacity for personal and social transformation come to fruition, the cost of attending practice retreats is kept to a minimum.

Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso is the resident lama of Ligmincha Poland. He lives in the Chamma Ling Poland center in Wilga, near Warsaw. He also teaches throughout Europe. More about Geshe Gyatso
