Chöd is a unique blend of the Tibetan Shamanic traditions and the Buddhist tradition of compassion and emptiness. This centuries-old practice is sung and is accompanied by the use of a traditional Chöd drum and bell. Healing comes when fear, fixation, and self-clinging are cut through, when we nurture and don’t fight what assails us. This gives rise to the awareness of the empty nature of afflictive emotions. Lama Tsultrim will teach the first day and a half. Karla and Lopön Chandra will teach the final three days.

Required materials: The Chöd practice requires a Chöd drum and bell, both of which are available through our store, online at http://dakinibookstore.mybigcommerce.com/. Also recommended is a headlamp or small book-light for night practice.

This is a required retreat for the Magyu Mother Lineage Program.
