Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering Retreat (in-depth Retreat)

Practicing Guru Yoga sincerely is relying on the Spiritual Guide, the root of the spiritual path. Guru Yoga is an especially powerful method that enables us to receive the blessings of all the Buddha’s and greatly increases our store of merit.

Our mind is like a field. Purifying negative karma and accumulating merit are like clearing the field of obstructions and fertilizing it, and meditating on the stages of the path is like sowing good seeds. However, these seeds will grow into a harvest of realizations only if they are watered by a rain of blessings from the Yidams and Buddha’s. Practicing Guru Yoga is the means by which we receive these blessings.
