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.

Tummo is our wisdom fire. We naturally have this warmth within us in the area below the navel chakra, but we are not usually aware of it and we do not use it. When we develop proper concentration and begin to work with our inner fire, we can completely transform ourselves.

Using visualization, breath techniques and movement, we connect to our inner fire and generate it greater and greater. We work with our breath, bringing it to a higher level, and this changes our blood. This warm blood in turn affects our hormones.
On a physical level, the inner fire is responsible for the temperature of our body—the heat of digestion and metabolism, the heat that powers chemical reactions and builds hormones. On an energetic level, the Tummo fire blazes through the channels, melting away the subtlest blockages and surging energy throughout the body. On the level of mind, Tummo is the source of love, joy, happiness and bliss.

Tulku Lobsang has a very special connection to Tummo. This is his specialty and he has received all kinds of lineages. He is an incredibly skillful, wise and compassionate teacher. He shares this secret practice openly because he believes it can bring great benefit in these difficult times. This is a precious method of the Tantrayana tradition and if it is not taught and practiced, then it will no longer be a living teaching.

Since this Retreat is a long one, it gives the amazing and rare opportunity to learn this powerful practice in more detail than usually. We will practice a lot together, so that we can experience the profound influence of the Tummo – Inner Fire practice on ourselves.

Tulku Lobsang teaches in English. German and Spanish translation will be provided.
