On 6-8 November 2015 a Vajra Dance retreat on the Six Spaces of Samantabhadra with 2nd level Vajra Dance instructor Ruslan Kim took place in Belarus. 16 people participated in the retreat: 15 people from Belarus and 1 guest from Latvia.
For our Dzogchen Community of Minsk it was an extraordinary event as we danced in our homeland with an instructor on a newly acquired Mandala which hadn’t happened for a long time!
We are very grateful to Ruslan Kim! Thanks to his knowledge, experience, patience, openness and very attentive attitude to the Teaching and every participant, study and learning were very effective. Although we had little time for learning the dance (only 2 days of practical sessions!) he managed to give all explanations as well as create an atmosphere of mutual support, involvement, positive feeling and responsibility of every participant towards what was going on. All of this inspired the Gakyil of Jigdralling, the organisers and participants to oganise regular practices of Vajra Dance on the Mandala.
Our whole Vajra family thanks Ruslan once again for leading the retreat and sincerely hope for further collaboration and revision of previous study and learning of the new Vajra Dances!
We also thank Kunsangar North for supporting our Community and giving us the Mandala for Vajra Dance as a present!
With love,
Jigdralling
