Why do we return again and again? What truly shapes our experiences, our relationships, and even the circumstances of our lives?

In this retreat, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche will guide us into the heart of Buddhist wisdom on karma, rebirth, and interdependence – timeless teachings that help us understand not only where suffering comes from, but also how greater freedom, compassion, and transformation become possible.

Drawing on the classical teachings of the Twelve Links of Interdependent Origination, Rinpoche will illuminate how ignorance, craving, and grasping create the cycle of becoming – and how awareness can transform it. These teachings help us understand that our actions, intentions, and attitudes are not isolated events, but part of a deeply interconnected process shaping our present and future experience.

Rather than understanding karma as destiny, these teachings invite us to recognize our inner power and responsibility. When we understand cause and effect more deeply, we gain the freedom to respond more consciously, cultivate positive qualities, and reduce the patterns that keep us stuck.

With his deep wisdom, warmth and humor, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche makes profound teachings accessible and relevant to modern life. In this retreat, Rinpoche will present to us practical ways on how to apply these insights in everyday life. Whether you are new to Buddhist philosophy or wish to deepen your understanding of the path, this retreat offers an opportunity to explore essential teachings that lie at the foundation of inner transformation.
