Transcripts and Practice Resources
In recent years I’ve led many retreats, and quite a few have been transcribed. Some will hopefully form the basis of new books, but I’m also going to make some available here.
To start with, here are a couple for Order members. As they are about sadhanas, I’ve password-protected them. If you’re an Order member you can access them with the same password you use to access the Order website.
Gower 2026 2-month Order Retreat
2-month Order retreat on Calm Insight and Nature of Mind
Dhammarati did a simultaneous transcription while we were on the retreat, using AI. It is unedited and has quite a few AI style errors, but is beautifully presented!
White Tara Sadhana Retreat
Adhisthana 2019 (Edited transcript)
This gives a full introduction to the White Tara sadhana that came into the Order from Dhardo Rinpoche. It also discusses themes that are common to many sadhanas, such as meditation on emptiness, and how to approach self-visualization.
Vajrasattva Sadhana Retreat
Adhisthana 2018 (Vidyadevi’s notes)
This is a retreat I led with Punyamala on the Vajrasattva mula yoga practice. Vidyadevi was on the retreat, and anyone who knows her will be able to guess that she is an excellent note-taker!
Avalokiteshvara Sadhana Retreat and Practice Resources
Adhisthana 2021 (Edited transcript)
This gives a full introduction to the Mahakarunika sadhana that came into the Order from Jamyang Khyentse . It also discusses themes that are common to many sadhanas, such as meditation on emptiness, and how to approach self-visualization.
In Addition:
There are several additional resources to help practitioners of the Sadhana.
