Retreat Description
This four-day Rechung Gar Retreat will expand on last year’s teachings but is open for anyone who feels a connection to being here. Each day will include silent meditation, group practice, teachings from Changling Rinpoche and yoga.
Venerable Changling Rinpoche is the only remaining holder of the Rechungpa lineage of Mahamudra based on the Formless dakini teachings passed down from Milarepa to his heart son, Rechungpa. Tilopa received these teachings directly from Vajrayogini whose teachings resounded from the dharmata as sound. The lineage of transmission passed on to Naropa, who passed them on to Marpa the translator, who in turn gave them to Milarepa. From Milarepa three distinct lineages of oral instructions are discerned: the lineages of Rechungpa, Gampopa and Namzongpa.
The oral lineage of Rechungpa, who is known as Milarepa’s spiritual son, is the only lineage which contains the complete teachings of the Formless dakini.
