Avalokiteshvara retreat, an intensive time for compassion. Buddha Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit) or Chenrezig (Tibetan) is the embodiment of great compassion.

The Avalokiteshvara sadhana, which we will practice in this retreat was composed by the renowned yogi Thangtong Gyalpo (1385–1464 or 1361–1485), also known as Drubthob Chakzampa. He was a great scholar of Buddhism, a yogi, physician, smith, architect and a pioneer in the field of civil engineering. This sadhana is a powerful means to generate compassion for the six classes of beings. We rely on the supreme verbal expression of compassion, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hung. Though it may sound so simple to develop compassion for all sentient beings, it is extremely difficult to put it into practice. Only through compassion and bodhicitta, the awakened mind, which results from compassion, we are able to attain enlightenment for the welfare of all beings.
