Advanced Streamed Retreat

TEACHINGS: Tsoknyi Rinpoche

TRANSLATOR: Adam Kane

PREREQUISITE

The prerequisite is having received pointing out instructions from a qualified Vajrayana or Dzogchen master. If you have not been to an open retreat with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, you will be asked to watch an open retreat teaching online to familiarize yourself with his way of teaching and use of language. The Registrar will provide a link once you register.

Please contact the Registrar if you are uncertain that you meet this prerequisite. registrar@pundarika.org

REGISTRATION

A new registration process will be implemented for the Crestone in-person retreats. The process will consist of two steps: an online application followed by a review of applications and selection based on criteria we are currently developing. We are implementing this new system because of the increased interest in Rinpoche’s in-person Crestone retreats.

Acceptance will be based on a model of random selection, with preferential weighting (e.g. for members, and new students).  For more information and FAQs for members, monastics, scholarships, etc., please see the Crestone retreat application FAQs: https://tsoknyirinpoche.org/application-information.

APPLICATION

The application process is now closed.
