November 9-11, 2019 with Stoffelina Verdonk
The Santi Maha Sangha retreat with Stoffelina last weekend at Palriling was mainly focused on the Four Immeasurables, although this teaching is for training in the Bodhichitta of Intention of Mahayana vehicle, but with the thoroughly explanations and practices together, Stoffelina has bringing us another deeper aspect of understanding.
The Santi Maha Sangha is not merely a book, behind these sage’s words the unmeasurable and precious knowledge has unveiled a little by little with our vajra sister Stoffelina. She explained not only the Sutra teaching, but also Tantra and Dzogchen.
With the practice of “Song of the Vajra” we have practiced both the faster and slower rhythm. The explanation of the importance of Ati Guru Yoga and Song of the Vajra, gradually became the centerline of this retreat. We’ve finished our retreat in a beautiful, loving atmosphere.
Besides, we had almost twenty practitioners with one of our vajra brothers, Daniel, who was connecting through the web followed us the whole retreat, on the end of this retreat we got a lot of questions for Stoffelina, unfortunately we don’t have time to work on all of them, but we have the responses for most of them. We are looking forward to have another Santi Maha Sangha group study soon.
