Padmasambhava was the great Tantric master of his age. A substantial part of his training was spent in the eight great cremation grounds, the places where the dead are brought. There amidst the funerary pyres, the lakes of decay, the jackals and other beasts, Padmasambhava encounters the celestial maidens – the dakinis – and receives esoteric initiations to bring about complete transformation.
This will be a weekend evoking the mystery, wonder, and challenge of the Dharma life – where will you find the cremation ground? And will you survive it?

Coming on a retreat at Padmaloka is a step into another way of being, where we temporarily take up a way of life that is more supportive of Buddhist Practice. We go forth from our ordinary circumstances, our comforts and distractions so that we can discern and move towards our ideals and help others to do so as well.When booking a retreat at Padmaloka it is important to get a sense of how you will be living here - what our customs, etiquettes and requirements for being on retreat are.
