Now at this time we have a precious human body and it is very important to get the blessings of the method of the profound instructions of the Great Secret Mother Tantra Compassionate Sun. This method is the three types of realization and conduct of the Mother Tantra of the realization and conduct of the Lama, the realization and conduct of the Yidam, and the realization and conduct of the Khandro which is very beneficial to do each year in a five day retreat.
By doing the practice of the realization and conduct of the Lama, you are embraced by the compassion of the wise and loving Lama. By doing the practice of the realization and conduct of the Yidam you get the initiation and blessings of the powerful Yidams. By doing the practice of the realization and conduct of the Khandros, adverse conditions will be averted and so forth and you will receive great compassionate blessings. Your practice will progress swiftly and powerfully. In the next lifetimes you will be continually reborn in the human realm. You will have a vision of the Yidam Sangchok Gyalpo and the Khandro Kyema Otso, the two obscurations will be purified, the two accumulations completed, by which you will become enlightened.
What we need for a retreat altar:
Make a small altar. Put white cloth (or any color), on top the mandala sits, then the mother tantra picture right on the mandala. In front of the picture, the Torma picture. In front of the mandala, a butter lamp, incense, water bowl, food on plate, and flowers. Bring a mala. For food, vegan or vegetarian meals while on retreat; no eating meat.
