ABOUT THE CLASS

Tara is a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas.

Her name means 'Rescuer' because she rescues us from all outer and inner fears. Ultimately she rescues us from all suffering and guides us to full enlightenment.

This retreat features teachings, meditations and an opportunity to engage in the ‘The Yoga of Enlightened Mother Arya Tara’.

These short prayers contain the essence of the self-generation practice of Arya Tara, the female Buddha embodying enlightened compassion and wisdom.

With this practice we can progress quickly along all the stages of the spiritual path, Lamrim, and attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment.

This retreat has 4 sessions during the day, as well as refreshment breaks and an optional lunch.

Each session is 1 hour long, and feature prayers, teachings, and guided meditations from Gen Pagpa.

Everybody who attends are lovely and friendly.

It’s a wonderful setting and those who attend make it such a friendly and polite environment. Everybody says hello to each other and you can sit and have a coffee before and in the middle of the sessions.
