Vajrayana Retreat 2026
02-01-2026 @ 14:00 - 06-01-2026 @ 19:00
🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 This 10-year cycle provides an introduction to Buddhist tantric practice.
It is based on relatively simple practices such as Śākyamuni Guru Yoga, Vajrasattva from the Mahāmudrā preparations, and various Avalokiteśvara practices. They are explained and practised together according to the instructions of Karma Chakme Rinpoche in “Mountain Dharma” and commentaries by the 9th and 15th Karmapas, Lodrö Thaye and Longchen Rabjam, which provide a gradually deepening understanding of the tantric approach. With their help, we gradually go through the four levels of Buddhist tantra – krīya, caryā, yoga and anuttarayoga – and develop a basic understanding of each level.
Please note: This cycle can only be attended by practitioners who have received empowerment in Avalokiteśvara (Chenrezig), Vajrasattva and a guru yoga such as Karmapa, Milarepa or Guru Rinpoche. Tara, Amitabha and the Medicine Buddha are recommended but not necessary.
Registration: Registration is required! This is also very important for online participation! The course takes place on site in Graz. Please register for on-site participation at the centre in Graz (kontakt@kks-graz.at).
We will send you the new Vajrayana Zoom link and course information + any course materials before the course.

Lichthaftigkeit. In seiner Mitte ist eine gedachte Mondscheibe, die für erwachte Aktivität und den Geist des Erwachens steht. Die leuchtenden Übergänge und das leere Innere weisen hin auf die ungreifbare Natur aller Erfahrungen, ihren dynamischen Aspekt, die Freude des Erwachens und die leuchtende Weite des alles erhellenden Geistes.
