In July, we are again very fortunate that Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will be coming to the Kamalashila Institute for a five-day summer retreat.
The retreat will focus on Guru Rinpoche in 2025. Meditation on Guru Rinpoche is particularly important at the present time.
The special Guru Rinpoche sadhana that Ringu Tulku will teach us is a powerful method for overcoming inner obstacles, activating spiritual energies and receiving profound blessings.
Externally the peaceful form of Padmasambhava as Lama, internally the wrathful form of Padmasambhava as Yidam Guru Drakpo and secretly Padmasambhava in the form of Senge Dongma as Dakini. Furthermore, the text also contains a long-life practice.
Ringu Tulku will not only explain the practice and transmit the lung, but also give us the empowerment of this special form of Guru Rinpoche.

Meditation on Amitabha, the Buddha of Boundless Light, can help us at the moment of death to enter his Pure Realm of Great Bliss (Tib.: dewachen, Skt.: sukhavati). According to tradition, Amitabha made a promise to grant a life of bliss to all beings who hear, think or speak his name with full confidence until they attain Nirvana. Pure land in this context is not a place, but is to be understood as a state of consciousness, an aspect of the enlightened mind.
We can also perform the Amitabha ritual for the deceased, even if their death occurred a long time ago. After an introduction to the practice and the topic of death and transition from a Buddhist perspective, the focus will be on the joint practice of the Amitabha Sadhana.
On Saturday the focus will be on the practice for the extension of the life span, while on Sunday the practice will be mainly for the deceased. The retreat will conclude with a special bardo puja for the recently deceased, which will include burning the written names of the deceased to help them transition into the Realm of Great Bliss (Tib.: dewachen).
