It is a great pleasure for us to offer this extremely rare and valuable opportunity of a retreat with His Eminence To announce Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche.

In his previous life, HE Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche was a monk and one of the great lamas of Tibetan Buddhism. He was very close to HH the Dalai Lama. His predecessor, as well as the current Serkong Rinpoche, were gurus of our revered master Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche.

Rinpoche is a layman (not a monk) in this life. He has numerous Western students, his teaching style is very sensitive, very clear, humorous and, as the saying goes, “directly related to everyday life”.

The focus of the retreat is primarily on the explanations and practice of the profound and beautiful text "A Praise to Dependent Arising" by Lama Tsong Khapa, as well as the explanations and the Practice of Guruyoga.

These two topics are central to our practice on the Buddhist path and essential to experience and progress.

It is truly a great privilege and good fortune that Rinpoche has graciously agreed to share his knowledge and experience on these topics with us for a week.

The retreat is suitable for serious practitioners with a basic understanding of Buddhist philosophy who wish to deepen their practice.

The retreat will take place in the beautiful Thubten Jamtse Ling Center in Sorens. The number of participants is limited.
