In May, Katog Choling Gön Retreat Center is hosting its first official drupchod (sadhana offering practice) using Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo’s terma, a revealed dharma treasure, called Tara who Liberates All Fears.

The purpose of practicing this Tara sadhana in a drupchod is to accomplish both the supreme and common spiritual attainments. Supreme spiritual attainments are swift growth of personal inner realization. Common spiritual attainments are accomplishing the peaceful activity of pacifying fear and suffering. Because Tara is renowned as the deity for most swiftly accomplishing the enlightened activities of all buddhas, Tara sadhana practice is profoundly impactful.

Wars are spreading, natural disasters are intensifying, human conflict is escalating, and diseases are on the rise. Moreover, our minds are increasingly anxious, fearful, and afflicted. Now, more than ever, is the time to engage in the profound sadhana practices of Tara.

During the first two days of the retreat Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings and transmissions for doing the practice followed by five days of fully engaged group practice. An in-person-only retreat, it begins in the morning of the first day and concludes in the evening of the last day. 

Please join us for this rare and powerful Tara drupchod guided by Khentrul Rinpoche. Together, we will engage in profound practice to cultivate inner peace, dispel fear, and benefit all beings in these challenging times.
