Bardo Thodol Retreat with Lama Tenzin Sherpa

Dear Friends,

We are very happy to share this much awaited Bardo Thodol retreat with Lama Tenzin Sherpa. We had a very powerful Vipassana Meditation Retreat with Lama ji in 2023 in our meditation hall in Hallandale beach, FL and this year we are blessed with another powerful Tibetan technique of Bardo Thodol. Bardo is a  Tibetan term for transitional state of consciousness at the moment of dying.

Some of the aspects of the teachings that we will meditate and understand during the retreat are:

• Meditation :  Tonglen, Vipassana, Death & Impermanence, Clear light and Visualization
• Death of spiritual masters, spiritual practitioners, general people
• The Six Intermedia states (Bardo)
• Preparation for death
• Helping others who are dying
• Delog and Rainbow body phenomenons
• Peaceful and wrathful Deities
• Phowa practice
• Karma and Rebirth

Venerable Tenzin Lama Sherpa : Ordained at the age of 13, Ven. Lama is a Tibetan Buddhist Monk. He studied Tibetan Buddhism at the Namdroling Monastery in India. Throughout his monastic life, Ven.

Meditation Retreat Guidelines

As with any event, here are some guidelines that will help you get the best out of the retreat:

• Meditations involve sitting, dancing and lying down so it is suggested that you wear loose clothes and bring a shawl or light blanket to cover yourself during passive sittings.
• Since the event will be full of activities, it is suggested that you take plenty of rest before the event, avoid caffeine, alcohol and meat.
• In consideration of people with sensitivities, please kindly refrain from using strong perfumes and other strong fragrances during the retreat.
