The Tsongkhapa retreat is based on the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa and focuses on the recitation of his sacred Migtsema mantra. It includes meditative practices to invoke Lama Tsongkhapa’s enlightened qualities to accumulate a tremendous amount of merits and purify vast amounts of negative karma. \nH.E. Tsem Rinpoche shared this advice for everyone: \n\n“Do Tsongkhapa retreat at least once a year to increase your wisdom (seven types of wisdoms)\, purify your karma and all kinds of negative thoughts and obstacles. Thoughts like ‘I don’t wanna do Dharma. I can’t do Dharma work. I feel lazy. I cannot make it.’ It will all go away.” \n\nThus\, this retreat is extremely effective for anyone who wants to purify obstacles and make progress on their spiritual journey. \nTsongkhapa retreat helps us increase our wisdom so we can gain deeper insight into the Dharma we have learnt\, thereby transforming our minds. We will also lessen our anger\, depression and overcome various inner and outer obstacles that obstruct our spiritual journey and daily lives. By engaging in this retreat\, we are also fulfilling Rinpoche’s instructions\, thereby creating the causes for us to reconnect with Rinpoche’s incarnation and for the Dharma to flourish in Kechara Forest Retreat. \nLed by our experienced Buddhist pastors\, this 3D2N Tsongkhapa Retreat 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\n“Lama Tsongkhapa retreats every three months consistently will heal the mind of pain and emotional scars. One should engage in retreats always.” – Tsem Rinpoche \n\n  \nEvent Details\n\n25 – 27 December 2021 (Saturday – Monday)\nEnchanted Forest @ Kechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\n\nSign up early to avoid disappointment. \n  \nProgramme Outline\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 1 \n\n\n\n\n7.15 am: Registration & check in\n8.00 am: Retreat briefing by pastor on Lama Tsongkhapa’s Guru Yoga\n9.30 am: Retreat session 1\n11.30 am: Top up offerings\n12.00 pm: Lunch\n1.00 pm: Rest\n2.00 pm: Retreat session 2\n5.30 pm: Top up offerings\n6.00 pm: Dinner\n7.00 pm: Rest\n8.00 pm: Retreat session 3\n10.00 pm: Circumambulation and candle offerings at Lama Tsongkhapa shrine\n11.00 pm: Good night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2\n\n\n\n\n6.30 am: Breakfast\n7.30 am: Top up offerings\n8.00 am: Retreat session 4\n11.30 am: Top up offerings\n12.00 pm: Lunch\n1.00 pm: Rest\n2.00 pm: Dharma sharing by pastor\n3.00 pm: Retreat session 5\n5.30 pm: Top up offerings\n6.00 pm: Dinner\n7.00 pm: Rest\n8.00 pm: Retreat session 6\n10.00 pm: Candle and smoke offerings at Dorje Shugden Grotto\n11.00 pm: Good night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3\n\n\n\n\n6.30 am: Breakfast\n7.30 am: Top up offerings\n8.00 am: Retreat session 7 and King of Prayers\n11.30 am: Retreat area clearing and cleaning\n12.00 pm: Lunch\n1.00 pm: Cleaning\, circumambulation and candle offerings at Lama Tsongkhapa shrine\n4.00 pm: Tea and goodbye\n\n\n\n\n  \nSuggested Donation\nBoth residential and non-residential packages are available.
