The Three Samadhis — Open mind, warm heart and creative intelligence
For the third year in a row, Rangjung Yeshe Sangha Sweden has the great pleasure to host a residential retreat with Erik Pema Kunsang at Brommagården outside of Stockholm.
About the retreat in Erik's own words:
To be free and natural in every situation, at ease with others and by oneself, can be our living experience. It does sometimes happen by itself, but not necessarily at will. We can learn how to be independent of moods and circumstances. The three samadhis are ways to deal with our most basic state of being.
We will explore and use combinations of two styles: Padmasambhava’s traditional tantric methods and the key instructions I received from my teacher Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. We begin with dualistic mind and continue, leaving the experience open for the yoga of nonduality.
I invite you warmly to become familiar with the tantric methods to discover our true identity.
Erik Pema Kunsang
Something for you
The retreat is suitable for you if you are a curious beginner, and also if you have previous experience of vajrayana buddhism and meditation, as long as you have an open mind and a genuine wish to learn and explore yourself and the buddhist teachings.
The retreat and public talk are held in English. Erik also speaks Danish.
