This Hybrid Chakrasamvara Intensive is geared toward the accumulation of the recitation practice in a group setting. If you are just learning the practice, this is a good opportunity to become more familiar with the sadhana. There will be guided practice, instruction of the different sections of the sadhana, and discussion of the wonderful manual by the Vajravairochana Translation Committee. Those who have finished the recitation are also invited to come and deepen their connection with the practice.
This practice intensive will be anchored in a shrine room at Drala Mountain Center which has reliable internet connection. However, there will be some unavoidable differences between the practice offered at Drala Mountain Center and in the Great Stupa, and the experience of remote participants via Zoom.
On land, there will be practice opportunities in the physical representation of Chakrasamvara’s mandala in the Great Stupa. During these times Zoom participants will receive the broadcast from another shrine room rather than inside the Stupa. There will be recordings and images from the Stupa for the Zoom session during practice time.
This will give us the best means of offering an authentic Zoom experience, while also protecting the atmosphere and practice container within the Stupa.
You are welcome to come for all or part of this intensive.
Prerequisite: Chakrasamvara Abhisheka
