SUMMARY:Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat
DESCRIPTION:We all wish for spiritual realizations\, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity\, accumulating merit\, and receiving blessings. To do this we need to practice the four great preliminary guides. As a result\, we will gain mahamudra realizations – the quick path to enlightenment. In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of receiving blessings and accumulating merit.
