We are honored to host a rare 3-day teaching retreat with Dr. Nida Chenagtsang on Illusory Body Yoga (Gyulu) — one of the profound practices within the Six Yogas of Naropa.
This advanced Vajrayana teaching explores the experiential realization that all phenomena — including one’s own body — arise as luminous appearance and emptiness. Illusory Body Yoga refines the practitioner’s direct insight into the dream-like nature of reality, serving as a crucial bridge between generation stage and completion stage realization.
This retreat offers a structured transmission of theory and practice according to the living lineage, with clear guidance on:
The philosophical foundations of Illusory Body in Vajrayana
Its place within the Six Yogas of Naropa
Practical instructions for integrating the view into daily experience
Methods to deepen recognition of appearance-emptiness inseparability
Prerequisites
This retreat is intended for committed practitioners.
Participants are generally expected to have:
