As Steven and Alessandro explained from the outset, the retreat had an experimental feel and had come together in a relatively short time. Rather than replacing tradition, we were exploring collaboratively how the nature of mind might be recognized in new ways – supported by immersive soundscapes which were produced and performed live.
The Medicine Buddha Retreat was a successful result of a close and fruitful collaboration between the Tibetan Medicine School and the Gakyil of Dzamling Gar.
It was a surprising pleasure to awaken each morning to lovely birdsongs and walk through the semidarkness to the Gönpa of Dzamling Gar to begin another day of the Long Life practice of Mandarava, and to feel the presence of our Rinpoche, who 42 years ago in the cave of Mandarava in Nepal miraculously received this terma practice of Mandarava in a series of dreams.
