RiverView Dharma Center

We will be doing our annual teaching and practice intensive for the generation and completion stage practice of the dakini, Yeshe Tsogyal, according to the Dudjom Tersar.

This retreat is for those who have completed Ngondro (or are nearing completion) and wish to prepare for the dakini retreat. During this five day course, participants will learn how to perform the full sadhana, including how to make the tormas, set up the mandala and shrine, how to play the ritual instruments and conduct the ritual sadhana, and how to do the generation stage and completion stage visualizations. Rules for retreat will also be taught. Students will have opportunities to do practice as a group and learn the process of the sadhana. After the completion of this five-day training, students are ready to begin retreat.
