Concluding the Fire Horse Year & Welcoming the Fire Sheep Year
Early-registration discount of 10% if you register before December 1
Join us for our annual Losar Retreat. During this retreat, we will hold three consecutive group practice events — Red Vajrasattva, Padmakilaya, and Vajrakilaya — as a profound means of purifying obscurations, accumulating merit, and clearing obstacles for the coming Fire Sheep Year.
These group practices include prayers, mantra recitations, teachings, and daily feast offerings (tsok). Together, we will complete the Fire Horse Year with strength and auspicious intention. Then we will welcome the Year of the Fire Sheep on Sunday, February 8, by taking the Bodhichitta Vow and reciting the King of Aspiration Prayers.
Participants are welcome to attend any portion of the practices for any number of days. However, specific empowerments are required for participation. During this event only Red Vajrasattva and Padmakilaya empowerment will be given. Please see the schedule below for empowerment dates.
Please note: Empowerments will not be livestreamed, and the Vajrakilaya empowerment will not be given.
(Daily schedules are subject to change)
