This year’s Nine Yanas retreat was an eventful one. Coinciding with a week of teachings and practice, was the first annual Nepal Lamas’ Gathering held at the Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery. During this ten day event, Kyabje Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche gave numerous empowerments and reading transmissions to the gathered lamas which lasted from early morning to late evening every day. It was during this atmosphere of daily empowerments with thousands of people bustling about, that the 2013 Nine Yanas Retreat with Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche took place.
This year, Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche and his sangha will be commemorating and celebrating the 1001st anniversary of Marpa Lotsawa's birth. Marpa Lotsawa Chökyi Lodrö is the forefather of the Kagyu tradition and was the first master to transmit the Mahamudra teachings to Tibet. Undergoing many great hardships, he travelled to India on foot three times where he met his gurus, the mahasiddhas Naropa, Maitripa and others.Publication
