Black Dakini Chod Retreat at Dakini Mountain
With Pema Khandro
May 31 - June 2, 2024
THE BLACK DAKINI CHOD TRADITION
This is a Tibetan meditation which is a potent, dynamic practice for awakening compassion and facing death. It is a practice of healing through love towards one’s own mind; through releasing the fictive self, the dualism that caused the appearance of “other” dissolves and an expansive intelligence becomes available.
Morning large group sessions will focus on the Black Dakini, the profound deity yoga meditation on the black wrathful dakini from the Jeweled Garland of Chod, (the Rinchen Trengwa) that was practiced by the first Pema Khandro and passed down from fourteenth century Tibet. This practice is affectionately called the Three Dakini Chod because it engages the peaceful, magnetizing and wrathful forms of the Dakini, culminating in the generation of one’s own inner wisdom as the Black Fierce Dakini, Troma Nagmo.
The Rinchen Trengwa is an advanced Chod meditation cycle which is complete with all the elements of Tantric meditation practice.
Small group sessions will focus on the Secret Chod – a path of profound psychological and embodied transformation. It is a direct path to healing through fear done in solitary practice and small community workshops.
The unforgettable Saturday night practice will focus on the Laugher of the Dakinis, Khandro Geykyang, which is the Longchen Nyingthig lineage Chod cycle practiced by yogis for centuries, all over the world.
