14th DENTOG CHIGMA RETREAT

From July 26th to August 2nd

It is with immense joy that we announce the 14th Chöd Retreat, which will take place for the first time at our new Machig Ling center, located in Rivel, Aude, France.

Surrounded by mountains, forests, and a peaceful river at the foot of the center, this sacred place was born thanks to the commitment of the entire team, friends of the Dharma, and under the loving guidance of our master, Chodpa Lama Rinpoche.

From the beginning of the retreat, practitioners will have the rare opportunity to receive the Chöd initiation, as well as profound teachings related to this living lineage, directly transmitted by Rinpoche.

We will also receive complete instructions for immediately practicing the sadhana of Dentog Chigma, a direct and powerful form of Chöd.

Throughout the retreat, several Dentog Chigma practice sessions will take place daily. The morning and afternoon will be dedicated to this practice, in an atmosphere of contemplation and transformation.

Every morning for six days, Rinpoche will give teachings on Phadampa Sangye’s 100 verses of advice to the people of Dingri.

Translations into French and Spanish will be available throughout the retreat.

*Saturday, July 26: Arrival at the end of the day, check-in, and first practice session in the evening.
