Onsite Retreat with Zoli Cser

The retreat

The practice of the Purification of the Six Lokas, called also the Inner Separation of Samsara and Nirvana, is considered to be very effective in cutting off primary karmic causes. These represent traces of all the actions and emotions we have accumulated in many lives. They to produce the dimension of the karmic vision of each of the 6 lokas.
“Whoever has accomplished the inner separation
Has emptied himself of the seeds of samsara that cause illusion.” (from the Tantra of the Clear Expanse or Klong gsal)
According to explanations of Rinpoche, the Vajra Dances of the Six Spaces of Samanthabhadra and Three Vajras are connected with the practice of the Purification of the Six Lokas. The benefit of singing and dancing is explained in the book the Dance of the Vajra:
“Any yogin or yogini
Who applies the Vajra Song and Dance
While maintaining the main point of contemplation
Will realize the wisdom of self-perfection.
Provisionally, one’s elements will be balanced
And the obstacles of the three gates will be purified.
As the final achievement, all materiality, having been totally consumed,
One will attain complete and perfect enlightenment.”
The main topic of the retreat is the Purification of the Six Lokas. We will alternate the Vajra Dance of the Six Spaces of Samantabhadra and of the Three Vajras with the sitting practice of the Purification of the Six Lokas.
