After his visit to Kamalashila two years ago, we are happy that Rinpoche will again offer two courses in 2025 that will open our eyes and hearts.
Retreat 1: Key Points of Trekchö I
May 10th to May 16
Registration here for on-site course.
Registration here for online participation.
In turbulent times, finding our ground within helps us stay balanced and resilient. This retreat will introduce and explore essence love as the ground of the feeling world and innate wisdom awareness as the ground of the mind.
Essence love or basic OKness is our birthright, always present within as the nature of the feeling world and subtle body. We can get disconnected from it however, and this can result in many problems and much unnecessary suffering.
Innate wisdom awareness is also always present as the nature of the mind. Through not recognizing our true nature, we endlessly wander in confusion. In this retreat, we will explore how to reconnect and actualize these aspects of our nature.
Retreat 2: Key Points of Trekchö II
May 17th to May 23th
Registration here for on-site course.
Registration here for online participation.
The view and practice of trekchö presents the mind essence as the ground of liberation and omniscience. This retreat will explore the mind essence in order to deepen our experience and move towards increased stability.
Trekchö is one of the main practices of the Dzogchen tradition, focusing on recognizing and remaining in mind essence, which includes original purity. The mind essence is best explored in the context of a teacher who can give the pith instructions and clarify points of confusion and potential pitfalls. We will also explore how to clear away obstacles and enhance our practice.
The Kamalashila Team is delighted about the continuation of our close relationship with Rinpoche and the team of Pundarika Germany!

The preparatory exercises (ngöndro) constitute the entry practices in the Mahamudra tradition of Vajrayana-Buddhism, yet they are including already the complete path of practice.
Consisting of the common preliminaries – the four fundamental thoughts that turn the mind to the Dharma – and the uncommon preliminaries – Refuge-Bodhichitta, Vajrasattva, Mandala Offering, Guruyoga – they give on the one hand inspiration and perseverance for the practice. On the other hand one gets an insight in the profoundness of the Vajrayana methods, building up on Refuge and Bodhichitta, purification of mental obscurations, accumulation of merit and wisdom, receiving the blessing of the lineage, until the recognition of the nature of mind, with his two aspects of emptiness and clarity.
This weekend offers a precious opportunity, to train under the guidance of the experienced teacher Acharya Lama Sönam Rabgye intensively these methods.
