Retreat at Dorje Ling Retreat Centre with the Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche and Venerable Zawa Rinpoche 24 – 30 October 2025

Tashi Choling Dharma Foundation welcomes back our revered guiding teacher, the Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, assisted by the Venerable Zawa Tulku Rinpoche, to lead us in a seven-day residential meditation retreat on Maitreya Buddha’s text on Tathagatagarbha – Buddha Nature.

These teachings point to the inherent potential for enlightenment in all sentient beings, that all beings have the potential to become a Buddha.

The retreat will conclude with a Green Tara Initiation. Green Tara, an embodiment of enlightened compassion and wisdom in action, is said to be the most accessible of all Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana practices and is suitable for everyone. This practice helps us to access those qualities of wisdom and compassion within ourselves.

Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche is a highly realized and respected teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, having taught in the west for over 40 years.

Located in the deep quiet beauty of Dorje Ling Buddhist Retreat Centre, in Lorinna in the Northwest of Tasmania, the retreat will offer teachings, as well as opportunities for meditation, stories, wholesome discussion and forest walk contemplations.
