Inner Rushen Retreat

This Rushen retreat will focus on the practice known as the inner distinguishing practice or purifying of the six locations. This Dzogchen preliminary practice aides in the exhaustion of the inner causes of illusory perception thereby leading to greater purification of Body, Speech and Mind. This practice specifically helps us to eliminate the habitual attachments to what often feels like an almost automatic samsaric arising as beings trapped within the six realms. The practice of Rushen is a powerful way of creating the auspicious circumstances that aide in liberating the way in which the three gates (body, speech, and mind) and the three bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya) are experienced.
