In the instructions known as The Triple Excellence, Tara, the female Buddha of wisdom in action, reveals a complete path of perfect awakening. These teachings describe the entire Buddhist path in gradual practical instructions. With its rich and vibrant interface, The Triple Excellence is perfectly accessible and profound for both beginners and seasoned practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
The great treasure master of Tibet, Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, received these profound and pithy instructions from Tara herself and they are transmitted in a precious lineage of accomplished masters. In clear steps Tara's instructions cover all three vehicles of Buddhism (The Triple Excellence) from the Vajrayana perspective.
This spring Lama Tenzin Sangpo will lead a unique retreat seminar involving practices from all Three Excellences will be held at the Rangjung Yeshe Gomde in Denmark. Beginning with mind training practices of the First Excellence, we will gradually arrive at the bodhisattva perspective of insight and love, and from there explore some of the central practices of the Second Excellence. Finally we will, during the last three days, focus on the practice of green Tara, the first sadhana within the Third Excellence.
The retreat will unfold over nine days. Beginning with fundamental mind training described in the First Excellence, we will proceed to the Bodhisattva path of the Great Vehicle. We will train in recognizing the presence and power of loving-kindness and compassion and we will receive instruction on the way to let these qualities flourish through insight. After having trained in opening our heart with loving kindness and compassion, we will cultivate the vision of the equality of self and other and begin the practice of exchanging ourselves with others. Through this we will arrive at the aspiring aspect of the altruistic mind of awakening (bodhicitta), and from there learn how to train in the first five paramita, - the actions of a bodhisattva.
Having worked with central practices belonging to the First and Second Excellences, we will, as an inspiration for the Third Excellence, learn how to perform the outer sadhana of Green Tara.
The practive seminar begins Friday the 30th in the evening. Arrival and registration will be open from 3 pm. Dinner is at 6 pm and after dinner, the first teaching takes place.

Endelig vil vi i løbet af de sidste tre dage, fokusere på Grøn Tara praksis, den første Sadhana i den tredje Excellence.
