Green Tara Retreat

Green Tara Retreat

for established Buddhist Practitioners.

Led by Jimi Neal.

This group tantric retreat is most suitable for those who are Buddhist (having formally taken Refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha), have taken the Bodhisattva Vows and have received the Green Tara Initiation.

The basic requirements for this Retreat are:

  • You should be a Buddhist, having formally taken refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Those who have not formally taken refuge or who have not participated in a tantric retreat before, will need to have an interview with Tushita’s Spiritual Programme Coordinator and/or the retreat leader.
  • You should have taken the appropriate Initiation, which will require taking the Bodhisattva Vow. Tushita tries to arrange for the appropriate initiation to be given by a qualified tantric master before each retreat starts.
  • You must be familiar with the Lam Rim (the Graduated Path to Enlightenment) and have attended at least one introductory course in Tibetan Buddhism.

See more information about this retreat here.

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
