The Path of Liberation constitutes the core of Mingyur Rinpoche’s Vajrayana teachings. In this retreat, Mingyur Rinpoche will teach the practices central to beginning this training, including teachings on the nature of mind.

This very special event will be held across five days at the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Victoria and offers a once in a lifetime chance to receive these precious teachings in an very blessed environment inside the largest stupa in the western world.

Please note: There will be no on-site accomodation available at the Stupa or at Atisha Centre. The limited accomodation has been reserved for the events team and those with limited mobility. Full event details will be published when registration opens in January. Be sure to sign up to one of our newsletters to be notified when registration opens. If you are travelling from overseas or interstate, we suggest arriving on August 30 at the latest.

Please also note, this event has prerequisites to attend

• Option 1: To have attended all three Joy of Living levels — Calming the Mind (Level 1), Opening the Heart (Level 2), and Awakening Wisdom (Level 3) — and completed the associated practice requirements
• Option 2: To have completed the full preliminary practices (the 4 x 100,000 ngondro)
• Option 3: To have had a daily meditation practice for at least five years and attended either group or solitary practice retreats for a total of at least thirty days, with 6+ hours of formal meditation practice per day, under the guidance of a Buddhist teacher
