The Union of Development and Completion Stage Practices with Mingyur Rinpoche

This event can be attended in-person or online.

In the Vajrayana practices of Tibetan Buddhism, there are two unique practices that should not be missed: deity practice, and the path of liberation practice of nature of mind.

In this retreat, Mingyur Rinpoche will combine the two by teaching both deity visualisation and the path of liberation practice, guiding experienced practitioners to practice the union of the development and completion stage practices.

From understanding how the conceptual mind works, we will learn the essence of the Vajrayana path. To learn the development stage practices, we learn how to take fruition as path. To learn the completion stage practices, we will receive instruction on the Nine-Fold Breath, the Gentle Vase Breathing and Shaking Ha.

Of particular note, Mingyur Rinpoche will also give teachings on the subtle body. From an understanding of the three layers of body, we will learn how the subtle body works and the connection between mind and body.

This four-day teaching will be held in person at Tergar Osel Ling Monastery in Nepal. If you have already received Tergar’s Path of Liberation Level 2 teachings, we invite you to join us to hear directly from Rinpoche on how to practice the union of the development and completion stage practices.
