3 Day: The Bliss of Inner Fire (Tummo) Practice Retreat
with Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso
January 4 - 7, 2024
Join us this January for our first Tummo practice retreat at Serenity Ridge! Led by Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso, this retreat is intended to support practitioners who have participated in Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s Tummo teachings. Geshe Gyatso will give some instruction and advice on all the components of Tummo that Rinpoche has covered in his current teaching cycle: the prayers, nine breathings, tsa lung, the ordinary and extraordinary preliminaries, and the practice of jam lung; but the focus will be on developing a deeper familiarity and experience with the practices. Geshe-la will also be available for private meetings to discuss the practice for students who attend in person.
This retreat may be attended for three or for seven days, in person at Serenity Ridge or online via Zoom.
Students who have the time are strongly encouraged to stay for the full week to experience the fullest ripening of their practice. Because the mission of Ligmincha is not only to preserve and share the Bön teachings but also to see their capacity for personal and social transformation come to fruition, the cost of attending practice retreats is kept to a minimum.
Newcomers are welcome! All who attend this retreat, including those new to the practice of Tummo, will meet the prerequisite to attend the teachings of Tummo Part 4 by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche at the summer retreats in Serenity Ridge in Virginia, and at Chamma Ling Wilga, in Poland in 2024.
