Sengey Tsewa Retreat and Birthday Celebrations in Kathmandu

Sengey Tsewa Retreat and Birthday Celebrations in Kathmandu

Sengey Tsewa is a practice of Prajna Paramita (the practice of Wisdom). Dakini Machig Labdron offered the teaching of Sengey Tsewa (The Revelry with the Lion) to the Great Omniscient Kunkhyen Pema Karpo (the Fourth Gyalwang Drukpa 1527-1592) through his master Awa Dhutipa. Ever since then, it has been the main practice of many historical yogis of Vajrayana Buddhism.

The benefit of the Sengey Tsewa practice can be categorised into two parts:
  • Through the practice of non-attachment towards one's own body, one will be able to free oneself from sufferings such as diseases and unwanted incidents and accumulate merits to eventually attain the form of Buddha (Rupakaya).
  • Through the practice of non-attachment (Shunyata) towards one's own conceptual thoughts, one will be liberated from the mental distractions and eventually attain the full realisation of (Dharmakaya) the complete omniscience (Wisdom of Buddha).

The forthcoming Sengey Tsewa Retreat, to be held at Druk Amitabha Mountain in Kathmandu and led by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa and his spiritual sons, Their Eminences Gyalwa Dokhampa and Drukpa Thuksey Rinpoche, will also include an explanation and transmission of Chod practice.

On 28th February, before the 6-day retreat, there will be a joint birthday celebration for His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa and His Eminence Drukpa Thuksey Rinpoche. 

Pel Drukpa Tcheutsok Congregation in Plouray is organising a package tour for those who wish to attend the birthday celebrations and Sengey Tsewa retreat as a group. This time the birthday celebrations and retreat will be followed by a pilgrimage to Maratika in the eastern part of Nepal, which is nine hours by road from Kathmandu. We will be staying there for two days in local guest houses and we will practise Guru Drakpo Kilaya in the sacred Cave where Guru Rinpoche and Mandarava mastered the Amitayus Practice of Immortality.  We will therefore accumulate great merits and powerful purification.
 
The whole trip will run from 27th February to March 11th and will include hotel accomodation in Kathmandu and Maratika, transportation to and from Druk Amitabha Mountain, the registration fee for the retreat and all meals.
