Where to Do Retreat 

Where to Do Retreat

Rinpoche gave the following advice to a student who had asked where he should do retreat.

  1. Liberate 4,000 animals before the beginning of next year. You can do it yourself with my Animal Liberation practice. Do all of them yourself if you prefer, but I suggest making a donation to the center to do some of them.
  2. Make one or two hundred long-life deity tsa-tsas. Some of these can be made at other places where they make tsa-tsas, and maybe some Tibetans can make some.
  3. Take the Je tse zin ma (Lama Tsongkhapa holding long-life vase) long-life initiation three or four times.

You can stay at the retreat center, sometimes teaching and sometimes doing practice. However, if the above practices are not done, then everything will be difficult.
