CRSS 2024 Upcoming Event Dates Chöd Retreat Postponed until Druponla returns Achi Chókyi Drolma Fulfillment Ritual January 2025 TBA Chöd Retreat with Ven. Ani Stanzin Chorol Postponed until Drupon la returns Dear Friends, we warmly invite you to join us for a special Tibetan Chöd practice retreat, a profound spiritual method to sever dualistic grasping. Chöd, meaning "to cut through," is an ancient meditation and ritual practice mastered and transmitted by the 11th-century yogini Machig Labdrön. This practice helps us sever attachment to ego, fear, and suffering, offering transformative healing and liberation. Why We Practice Chöd: Chöd combines visualization, mantra, and ritual to offer compassion and generosity to all beings, including those aspects of ourselves that we typically push away. Through this practice, we face and dissolve fears and attachments by symbolically offering our body as nourishment to spirits and hungry ghosts. This symbolic act cuts through our habitual grasping and clinging, helping us develop a fearless heart and deep compassion. By confronting our inner demons directly, we not only find personal freedom but also extend healing to the world around us. It is a powerful way to transcend dualities and cultivate wisdom, fearlessness, and boundless love. We can dedicate our chöd practice to the specific healing of loved ones, or to pacify and overcome hinderances. We look forward to practicing with you and sharing in this sacred experience. More Detailed Schedule and Registration Coming Soon! Monthly Dakini Day Tsok
