The Retreat
Red Tara is the deity who forcefully clears all inner and outer obstructions/obstacles to spiritual practice. In her aspect as Kurukulle, she is the deity of bliss and power. She is the inner dakini and performs the "magnetizing" activity that benefits all beings. She is also the source of fierce inner heat or "tummo". In Tibetan, her name is pronounced rik-jay-ma which means, the female buddha that awakens nondual awareness.
This is a very special and rare Red Tara/Kurukulle
practice which was revealed by the Drikung Treasure revealer Osel Dorje. Gape Lama is a very close lineage holder of this practice who holds the pith instructions for the accomplishment of this practice. We will receive the empowerment, receive the essential practice instructions, and then do a two day practice retreat. Also, for the first time the extensive sadhana for this practice which has been translated will be made available and taught on. Teachings will also be given on the concise practice text. This retreat contains everything needed to be able to do this practice with confidence.
