Highest Yoga Tantra Initiations and Vajrayogini Buddhist Meditation Retreat

Following the recent passing of the Founder and Spiritual Head of the Tibetan Buddhist Society the highest yoga tantra initiations scheduled for the weekend of 17-18 September have been cancelled. However, it is currently proposed that the 3 week Vajrayogini retreat scheduled for 19 September to 9 October will proceed.

Vajrayogini Buddhist Meditation Retreat Monday 19 September to Sunday 9 October 2011
The initiations will be followed by a three week Vajrayogini retreat from Monday 19 September until Sunday 9 October. This is a traditional retreat, during which we complete 100,000 mantra recitations. Each day comprises six sessions of guided meditation, during which the Vajrayogini practice is explained. The retreat concludes with a fire puja. The initiations and retreat will be held in the traditional Tibetan temple at the Tibetan Buddhist Society’s Peaceful Land of Joy meditation centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Prerequisites
Those attending the retreat must have previously received, Vajrayogini initiation.

A unique retreat experience
The Peaceful Land of Joy is set in beautiful rural surroundings just outside Melbourne. It is an ideal place for meditation, Dharma study and practice. The centre’s traditional Tibetan holy temple, blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2002, is a clear and peaceful space, with an exquisite 18 foot Buddha statue, and adorned with traditional thangkas and Tibetan ornamentation. Between meditation sessions, students can relax in the 10 acre gardens, including flourishing roses, exotic trees and a tranquil lake. Retreats at the Peaceful Land of Joy are a uniquely enjoyable and beneficial experience.

Information
Accommodation at the centre is limited. If you are interested in attending please register as soon as possible. The centre is a 15 minute drive from Melbourne International Airport and 30 minutes from the city centre.
