The Doha of Dudjom Lingpa and the Practice of Chöd
August 8 – 13
During this 5-day retreat, Rinpoche will teach on the Doha of Dudjom Lingpa and the practice of Chöd. Rinpoche feels strongly that Dudjom Lingpa’s teachings are the right medicine for us in this chaotic age, which holds great potential for awakening.
Anam Thubten Rinpoche will practice with us four times a day, presenting guided meditation and teachings.
This is a collaboration between Dharmata Foundation and Dorje Denma Ling

Who May Attend
This retreat is open to everyone, regardless of experience level, offering a space for both beginners and seasoned meditators to deepen their practice.
We kindly ask that you fully commit to the retreat. This commitment is important for the following reasons:
- A meditation retreat is a transformative process. Participants are invited to make a sacred commitment to attend the entirety of the full five-day retreat — to honour and trust this process.
- Once a retreat begins, a sacred container is formed, created by the collective good intentions of all participants to be fully present. This mutual presence supports and uplifts everyone involved.
Cost
Will be posted once registration opens.
Fellowship Ceremony
At the close of the retreat, Anam Thubten Rinpoche will offer a traditional Fellowship Ceremony, which includes the Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows. This will take place on the final day after lunch and is open to all — whether or not you’ve participated in the retreat.
There is no fee for the ceremony. Should you feel inspired, a heartfelt offering is welcome (no cheques, please). You may also offer online via this link.
Those wishing to stay overnight for the ceremony may request additional accommodation during registration.
If you would like to take vows at the ceremony, please register. Witnesses need not register.
