| KATA OFFERING CEREMONY
During this teaching, Rinpoche will offer a short blessing ceremony. Traditionally, you can make a kata (blessing scarf) offering where you approach Rinpoche with a kata folded in half and held in your prayer mudra. Rinpoche will then put the kata over your head as a blessing. If you wish, you can also offer a monetary donation. Put any money offering in an envelope and hand it over during the offering ceremony.
The best gift you can offer to your teacher is your personal inner practice and the ceremony just represents an outer form of offering.
If you wish, you can either bring your own kata or purchase a kata at the retreat. Traditional donation envelopes will be available at the bookstand.

Tsa Lung
Tsa Lung is a meditation practice, using the body and the breath. It is a technique that combines movements with breath retention in order to release blockages in the subtle body.
Tsa Lung is a practice that works intensively with our subtle body. By combining special breath retention techniques with physical movements and visualizations, we move our wind-energy throughout the body, allowing it to reach deep places and open more and more subtle channels. When the wind flows freely, this energy can be used for self-healing or can be given to others.
Mindfulness
This physical practice is very dynamic and powerful. And breath retention makes it even more challenging. However, it is very important that we train the breath. As we become older our breathing becomes more and more shallow. Therefore, we need to relearn how to breathe deeply. And when the breath flows, the mind flows. This is a method for coming into a deep stillness of the mind.
The practice of mindfulness plays an important role in Buddhism. To be mindful means to be present in this moment. In the here and now we are aware of our emotions, thoughts and actions. Our mind is awake in every single moment and knows what impact our actions will have on our fellow human beings and our environment. There are four aspects of mindfulness: The mindfulness for my body, my feelings, my mind and my speech. Who practices mindfulness, is aware of Samsara, the perpetual cycle of being, in every single moment; and therefore creates his life for the benefit of all sentient beings.
In this retreat, Tulku Lobsang will teach us, how to combine this two practices. Through this combination, we can deepen our practice, which brings us on many different levels closer to our true nature.
