Bodhisattva Project Retreat (In Person)

With Do Tulku Rinpoche | 14-17 May 2026 | Online & Windeck, Germany

We warmly invite you to join the 2026 Bodhisattva Project Retreat, which will take place from May 14–17, 2026.

We are very fortunate to have Do Tulku Rinpoche guiding this retreat, where he will introduce us to the Seven Points of Mind Training (Lojong). These teachings are part of a classical Tibetan Buddhist tradition of “mind training,” which traces back to the Indian master Atisha and was later organized into seven key points by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje. They present a practical and systematic approach to cultivating compassion and wisdom by transforming how we relate to our everyday experiences.

During the retreat, we will study and reflect on this text:

If you wish to learn more about Atisha and Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje, we also have wonderful teachings by Rinpoche in our Stories of Liberation series. Please feel free to contact Carol (events@aryatara.net) for more information.

The retreat will be held in a hybrid format, and you are welcome to join in person or online. A small group of participants can attend this retreat in person in Windeck-Schladern, Germany.
