The first part of the fivefold path of Mahamudra (tib. Ngaden) includes the preparatory exercises (tib. Ngöndro). They include the common, special and extraordinary practices. The Vajrasattva practice belongs to the special preparatory practices (inner ngöndro). These preparatory practices are an important basis for all further Vajrayana practice. For all those who would like to practise Vajrasattva meditation, there will be a Vajrasattva retreat lasting several days, starting on Wednesday evening.

Please register in good time, as only limited overnight accommodation is available.
