While mantra retreats usually focus on the recitation of a particular deity’s mantra\, this retreat is unique as it is based on the Guru Yoga and name mantra of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche. It includes meditative practices to merge with Tsem Rinpoche’s enlightened qualities to accumulate a tremendous amount of merits. \nIt is said that\, \n\n“…even if we do not know a lot of practices\, if we recite our Guru’s mantra whole-heartedly with sincerity and faith\, we can obtain the qualities and attainments of Buddha Heruka\, Dorje Shugden\, and all the enlightened beings.” \n\nThus\, this retreat is extremely effective for Rinpoche’s students and followers who are seeking a fulfilled spiritual journey. The benefits of engaging in this retreat include creating and strengthening our connection with Rinpoche’s past and future incarnations\, and receiving blessings for our spiritual wishes to come to pass. \nEngaging in this retreat will also help create the necessary causes and merits for the successful completion of the Tsem Rinpoche Relic Stupa Project and for the search\, recognition and enthronement of Rinpoche’s new incarnation. This will not only benefit ourselves\, but also the lineage and countless sentient beings. \nLed by our experienced Buddhist pastors\, this 3D2N Tsem Rinpoche Mantra Retreat will be held at Rinpoche’s Indoor Relic Stupa in Kechara Forest Retreat\, a place charged with powerful spiritual energy. It is suitable for all who are new to mantra retreats as well as experienced retreatants who may be too busy to prepare all the necessary offerings and materials. \n  \nAbout H.E. Tsem Rinpoche\nH.E. Tsem Rinpoche was a world-renowned Buddhist teacher\, the 25th incarnation in a long line of Indian\, Nepali and Tibetan Buddhist masters dating back to over 2\,500 years ago. He was the founder of the Kechara Buddhist Organisation headquartered in Malaysia\, a prolific author of commentaries\, discourses and books on Buddhism\, and a beloved spiritual guide to many disciples around the world. He dedicated his entire life to the practice and proliferation of Buddhism\, especially through the digital world. \n  \nEvent Details\n\n1 – 3 Jan 2021 (Friday – Sunday)\nTsem Ladrang @ Kechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\n\n  \nProgramme Outline\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 1 \n\n\n\n\n7.15am: Registration & check in\n8.00am: Retreat briefing & sharing by Pastor on Guru Yoga & Guru mantra retreat\n9.30am: Retreat session 1\n11.30am: Top up offerings\n12.00pm: Lunch\n1.00pm: Rest\n2.00pm: Retreat session 2\n5.30pm: Top up offerings\n6.00pm: Dinner\n7.00pm: Rest\n8.00pm: Retreat session 3 (Monthly Dorje Shugden Puja)\n10.30pm: Candle offerings at Lama Tsongkhapa shrine & sangsol prayers\n11.30pm: Good night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2\n\n\n\n\n6.30am: Breakfast\n7.30am: Top up offerings\n8.00am: Retreat session 4\n11.30am: Top up offerings\n12.00pm: Lunch\n1.00pm: Rest\n2.00pm: Retreat session 5\n3.30pm: Mantra rolling / tsa tsa making for Rinpoche’s Relic Stupa\n5.30pm: Top up offerings\n6.00pm: Dinner\n7.00pm: Rest\n8.00pm: Retreat session 6\n10.00pm: Candle offerings at Dorje Shugden Grotto & sangsol prayers\n11.00pm: Good night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3\n\n\n\n\n6.30am: Breakfast\n7.30am: Top up offerings\n8.00am: Retreat session 7\n11.30am: Top up offerings\n12.00pm: Lunch\n1.00pm: Retreat session 8 and King of Prayers\n4.00pm: Retreat area clearing & cleaning\n5.00pm: Candle procession from Tsem Ladrang to Rinpoche’s Cabin and Incarnation Chapel with light offering & sangsol prayers\n6:00pm: Dinner and goodbye\n\n\n\n\n  \nRates\nBoth residential and non-residential packages are available.
