Update - 'The Tara retreat retreat is fully booked'

For waitlist / retreat enquiries please contact the centre directly through info@tendar.net.

Upon request of many sangha members, Lama Tendar decided to offer a six-day Tara Retreat in August 2024, 

during which participants will each chant Tara mantra 100,000 times. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect to the auspicious energy of Mother Tara. 

The benefit of performing a Tara retreat: 

Mother Tara is a fully enlightened Buddha. 

She is renown for her quick actions to grant good health, long life, protection to counter the effects of negative karmas, as well as to bring about success. 

Many Dharma practitioners rely on her for leading, successfully, a virtuous life. 

At this degeneration time, life is full of hindrances and obstacles both mentally and physically, this retreat is an opportunity to break through fears and negativities, so as to establish yourself along the right path towards true happiness. 

For those who work to help healing others, this is a great opportunity to rebalance your inner energy, and elevate your heart energy through cultivating great compassion supported by wisdom realisations. 

Admission requirements: 

1. You need Tara initiation to attend the retreat. For those who have determination to attend the retreat, but do not have Tara initiation, upon requests, Lama can give Tara initiation the day before the Tara Retreat starts. 

2. Those who wish to participate through zoom should first gain approval from Lama. 

Contribution: $1400 Your contribution ensures the sustainability of the centre into the future so that others who needs help can have access to such wonderful teachings and practices. Breakfast, Lunch, tea and fruits are provided daily by the Centre.
