Summer Retreat – The Four Tantric Rites
Summer Retreat – The Four Tantric Rites
Friday 13th July 2018 - Friday 20th July 2018
Led by Jnanadhara and Vajrashura
A retreat gives you a chance to put aside the concerns and demands of your everyday routine. By getting away from the noise and clutter of the city or wherever you come from, you can begin to relax and open up.
Many people who go on retreat feel more grounded, calmer and in touch with themselves.
Those who go on retreat regularly find these qualities pervading the rest of their lives, and find their spiritual practice naturally deepening.
The retreats listed here are suitable if you’ve done a meditation course with us.
Contact the centre or email us to book on.
The Four Tantric Rites: Pacification, Fascination, Enrichment and Destruction
Jnanadhara and Vajrashura would like to invite you to join them on the DBC’s Summer Retreat at Sandville House in Cavan, where the theme will be The Four Tantric Rites: Pacification, Fascination, Enrichment and Destruction.
The Four Tantric Rites come from the Indian magical tradition, but are adapted by the Bodhisattva to better benefit all beings.
They are referred to as the ‘Four Enlightened Activities’ and are the outpouring of the Bodhisattva’s spontaneous compassionate activity.
They comprise the Red Rite of Fascination, the White Rite of Pacification, the Black Rite of Destruction and the Yellow Rite of Enrichment, and are different modes of being we can use to break through to Buddhahood.
We will explore these rites this through talks, discussion, community, meditation and ritual.
Cost: €350 waged / €310 low-waged / €240 unwaged or student.
