Mahamudra-Moonbeams Retreat

We practice meditation in the style of Mahāmudrā in order to find a continuous, flowing presence. In his guided meditations and teachings, Tilmann will draw on passages from “Moonbeams of Mahāmudrā” by Dhagpo Tashi Namgyal. There will be time for questions in the group every day.

In terms of content, Tilmann will continue to follow Dhagpo Tashi Namgyal’s text; we will begin with Chapter 3. He will not teach the text again, but will transform the essential instructions into guided meditations and give teachings in which he will elaborate on the key points of the Mahāmudrā approach.

The transcripts, audio recordings, and videos of the teachings on “Moonbeams” from previous years can be found at: https://ekayana-institut.de/medien/mahamudra-mondstrahlen-kurse/ This allows you to familiarize yourself with the material at any time. It is recommended that you have already studied the first, second, and third chapters of Moonbeams, as this retreat will focus almost exclusively on the practical application of the teachings in these chapters.

Tilmann will endeavor to edit Judith Debbeler’s German translation of the third chapter before the retreat and make it available at the beginning of the teachings.

The course will take place online. Registration is NOT required for online participation.

As usual, the course is donation-based.

Note on the amount of the donation:

Unfortunately, Zoom participants tend to donate significantly less than those who participate on site. We would like to ask you to help balance this out a little, as Ekayana and all its activities are funded by donations and we want to continue this.

Suggested donation amount: €300-400 for the 8-day retreat (including all materials provided free of charge on the Ekayana media library) or, if you wish, a recurring donation.

As we are a non-profit organization for the promotion of art and culture, it is possible to obtain a donation receipt valid in Switzerland for donations to Ekayana. However, this must be done through a Swiss organization (TGE). If you are interested, please contact us (Katja) at Ekayana first and then follow the procedure outlined in the information sheet.
