The issue is whether we recognize these aspects or not. Liberation arises only with recognition, not just from having these natural qualities.”— Mingyur RinpocheThe essence of Tergar’s Path of Liberation is the recognition of nature of mind. During this in-person retreat, Mingyur Rinpoche will introduce the first and second pointing out instructions. Rinpoche will also give the White Tara empowerment. Moreover, Rinpoche will offer Buddhist refuge and reading transmissions for the Nectar of the Path and Dorje Drolö ngöndro practices.Exciting Update from Rinpoche: Exclusive to this in-person retreat, Mingyur Rinpoche will teach from a song of realization (doha) by the eleventh-century Tibetan yogi Milarepa. The reading transmission and selections from the doha Caring for the Teacher Shakya Guna will be shared with all participants.NOTE: This retreat has prerequisites.
