Leudunma recitation retreat
Leudunma, The Seven Chapters of Prayer, was discovered as terma by Tulku Zangpo Dragpa and decoded by Rigdzin Godem in the XIV century. Since then it became one of the most important practices, recited in all Nyingma monasteries.
Many prophecies say that very soon we will have to face many natural disasters, epidemics, and wars. The only help we can get is from Guru Rinpoche and the best way to address him is to recite Leudunma. For this reason, Chhimed Gyaltsen Rinpoche advised group recitation of this practice.
Cost of the retreat: 45 PLN per day.
We do not provide meals, but there is a possibility of cooking in the gompa kitchen.
Registration for the retreat can be made by sending an email to info@khordong.pl.
