Red Tara Retreat, with Lama Tsering Everest

Empowerment & Teachings

from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 01 November 2026
in Marseille, France

"Tara is known as the noble mother, the swift savioress, the mother of all victorious ones.
Tara is the flawless expression of the inseparability of emptiness, awareness, and compassion. Just as you use a mirror to see your face, Tara meditation is a means of seeing the true face of your mind, devoid of any trace of delusion.
It is a very great claim to say that Tara meditation can reduce the outer obstacles and dissolve the inner obscurations accumulated during the course of rebirth after rebirth in cyclic existence. Yet it is true. The blessings of Tara practice come so quickly that full realization of pristine awareness, the nondual nature of your being, can be attained in this very lifetime, or at least in the transition of death."

Chagdud Tulku Rinpoché

Lama Tsering, as one of the few lineage holders of Red Tara, will bestow the Red Tara empowerment and offer essential instructions on how to practice.
