Three Doors Seminar

July 26 - August 01, 2010

Chamma Ling - Wilga

Rinpoche's teachings have always engaged the three doors of tsa, [the body’s chakras and channels], lung [the subtle energy affecting breath, speech, and emotions] and tiglé [mind].  Opening these three doorways opens the potential for healing and positive change within the individual, in relationships, and in society. The methods for transformation we will explore in depth—the Nine Breathings of Purification, Five Tsa Lung exercises, Five Warrior Syllables Practice, and the Fivefold Teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen—while very simple to learn, are profound in their power to heal deep-seated disturbances of body, energy, and mind and to bring about significant changes in one's life.

It has long been Tenzin Rinpoche's vision, expressed through his books, CD's, DVD's, YouTube videos, and live Internet teachings, to bring these powerful healing practices out of their religious context and to make them available to a broader audience. A successful pilot program conducted at MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas, researching the secular presentation and practice of the tsa lung exercises with cancer patients went on to earn a two million dollar grant for further study from the National Institute of Health. There are so many possible beneficial applications of these simple and profound practices.

Clearly there is a need for change in our world. Rinpoche would like to encourage members of the world-wide sangha to extend this letter of invitation to friends and family members who might not attend a healing retreat taught within a religious context, but who would certainly benefit from learning these practices and using them to promote desired changes in their personal or professional lives, to enhance their relationships and to support positive qualities to come into expression in conventional worldly life.  In addition, persons who are experiencing illness or are chronically stuck, unhappy or habitually anxious are also welcome to learn and explore these healing practices this coming summer.

Finally, for students who have already received and have been practicing the Nine Breathings of Purification, the Tsa Lung Movement/Awareness Exercises, the Five Warrior Syllables practice, and the Fivefold Teaching of Dawa Gyaltsen, attending this retreat offers the opportunity to deeply explore these practices in a retreat setting and to learn more about benefiting both self and others.

Garuda Poland’s 2010 Summer Retreat , The Three Doors, will launch a new series of seminars taught by Tenzin Rinpoche and senior students trained by Rinpoche who will present these practices in a secular fashion. Those interested in learning these methods for personal use, those wanting to increase their depth of practice and understanding in order to teach these methods to others and thereby bring these methods to a broader public, and those who wish to undergo further training in order to eventually train future instructors are warmly encouraged to attend this  ground-breaking retreat.
