We are pleased to offer to the Ösel Nyingtig students for the first time this profound teaching from the Osel Nyingtig terma Cycle for accomplishing the Guru known as the Secret Thigle. This practice was revealed in Tibet in 2007 by A.dzom Paylo Rinpoche when he met Guru Rinpoche in person in a pure vision at Samye Monastery in Central Tibet. The rarity and freshness of this lineage make this practice for accomplishing the Guru, who encompasses the wisdom body of all the Victorious Ones, incredibly special. This is the final practice within the Osel Nyingtig that completes the three roots (Lama, Yidam, and Dakini). 

Who Can Attend?

• Tara Mandala extends a warm invitation to all Sangha members interested in practicing a Guru Rinpoche Sadhana to avert the prophecy of 2030. If you are not part of the Ösel Nyingtig program or did not receive the first Troma Secret Instruction, please specify that you are enrolling ONLY for the Guru Sadhana when registering. If you need clarification on the retreat please contact us at oselnyingtig@taramandala.org.
• Please note that the weekend following this retreat, Tara Mandala will celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a special weekend event with Lama Tsultrim offering the Machig Empowerment! Click here to visit the registration page for this event.
