  1. 12 Manjushri Retreat: The Mind’s Cutting Edge | Planet Dharma Meditation Retreat | October 6-22, 2023 Do you wish to embrace wisdom and its different manifestations? Manjushri is the Vajrayana Buddhist archetype of wisdom. In this retreat we will focus on developing cognitive intelligence, discrimination, clarity and rigor in terms of thinking. Our methodology will be the Twelve Manjushri deity yoga practice from the Vajrayana tradition. 12 Manjushri Meditation (Retreat) Manjushri, or Mañjuśrī (Sanskrit: ) is associated with prajñā (wisdom) in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Our deity yoga work with this particular aspect of the awakened mind will relate to the development of cognitive intelligence. While Manjushri is most commonly depicted alone, this Twelve Manjushri practice is a particular deity yoga practice with 12 emanations of Manjushri in one sadhana.

  2. Manjushri‟s name means “Gentle Glory” in Sanskrit – and this practice of twelve manjushris will be 12 times that! The 12 Manjushri Empowerment (Wongkur) During this retreat, a tantric initiation or empowerment (Wongkur) will be given by Qapel and Sensei. This provides the foundation for the meditation practice and reflection throughout the retreat. What is Wongkur? (Vajrayana Empowerments)

  3. Initiations, empowerments, or wongkur (Tib. དབང་, wang) are considered the spring from which all blessings flow. More literally, these are ritual celebrations in which a specific teaching is transmitted from Teacher to student that enables the student to practice a new form of “ArisingYoga” or “DeityPractice”. For more information about wongkur,we recommend reading „What is Wongkur‟, which includes „A Western Psychological Orientation to Deity Yoga‟ by the Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche and „A Traditional Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist View‟ by His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin. It is extensive article, published by Wesley Knapp. Visit and support his archival work at the Sakya Namgyal Archive. Course Details Fees and Dāna This course is run based on the ancient principle of generosity, or Dāna. There are also fees for meals and accommodation at Clear Sky Retreat Center, where the retreat is held. Please see registration page via button below for details.
