19 \u010dlanova H.B.D.\u00a0‘<\/b>Padmasana‘<\/b>, oslobodiv\u0161i se svojih svakodnevnih aktivnosti pristupilo je sedmodnevnom meditacijskom povla\u010denju u Jelovom Klancu, nedaleko Plitvica. Povla\u010denje se odnosilo na trening uma u preliminarnim praksama iz tradicije stupnjevitog puta. Ovaj trening predstavlja sam temelj za sve glavne prakse u\u00a0mahayanskoj\u00a0sutri\u00a0i tantri. Ako je temelj ku\u0107e slab ona \u0107e pasti lako i<\/b> na isti na\u010din, bez osnove u\u00a0preliminarijama ne mo\u017ee\u00a0biti nikakve\u00a0stabilnosti i koristi od praksi tantre. Upravo zbog toga su veliki jogini poput Lame\u00a0Tsong Khape proveli toliko vremena zaposleni preliminarnim praksama. Okoli\u0161 povla\u010denja je bio vedar, miran, prijateljski, jednostavan,<\/b> ali udoban i daleko od svih vrsta uznemiruju\u0107ih zvukova ljudi, prometa itd. U sedam dana vi\u0111ali smo jedino konje na proplanku ispred ran\u010da i dru\u017einu ma\u010daka, ma\u010di\u0107a i dva psa.\u00a0Ve\u0107em\u00a0broju nas bila je to dobro poznata okolina, <\/b>budu\u0107i da ovdje odr\u017eavamo na\u0161e godi\u0161nje povla\u010denje po \u010detvrti put zaredom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kao i u svim prethodnim godinama,<\/b> povla\u010denje su vodili duhovni mentori na\u0161eg dru\u0161tva,<\/b> Gen. Lobsang Norbu (Dragutin) i Lhamo \u00d6zer\u00a0Chenma\u00a0(Reena). Povla\u010denje je otvoreno tantri\u010dkim ritualom i prizivom blagoslova velike mandale\u00a0Dorsem\u00a0Njing\u2019tig terme u trajanju od \u0161est sati, nakon \u010dega je zapo\u010deo trening u meditaciji na Vajrasattvu i ostalim praksama s lako\u0107om. Za neke \u010dlanove pro\u010di\u0161\u0107avanje Vajrasattvom izmamilo je suze kao da se ispirala te\u017eina koja se dr\u017eala skriveno u sebi. Tijekom sljede\u0107ih \u0161est dana u skladu\u00a0s preliminarnim\u00a0praksama i inicijacijom koju je dao Lama\u00a0Alak\u00a0Tsawa\u00a0Rinpoche \u010dlanovima grupe u 2013.<\/b>, meditacijska zasjedanja su se odnosila na kriya tantri\u010dku praksu Vajrasattve i\u00a0Ganden\u00a0lha\u00a0Gyama-e. U obje ove prakse,<\/b> pro\u010di\u0161\u0107avanje tijela, govora i uma bilo je izvo\u0111eno iznova i iznova. Ba\u0161 kao \u0161to se pere odje\u0107a koja ima potencijal da bude \u010dista, na isti na\u010din pro\u010di\u0161\u0107avamo na\u0161e tijelo, govor i um jer ovo tijelo, govor i um sadr\u017ee potencijal za postignu\u0107e prosvijetljenog tijela, govora i uma koji su skriveni privremenim ne\u010disto\u0107ama.
Osim praksi Vajrasattve i Ganden lha Gyama-e, u rano jutro na\u0161 dan je\u00a0po\u010dinjao\u00a0s\u00a0treningom u shamathi\u00a0 kako bi se smirio um i postao pa\u017eljiv i poman na objekte na\u0161e meditacije.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Poslijepodnevne sate \u010dlanovi su provodili vje\u017ebaju\u0107i\u00a0vipassana\u00a0meditaciju na dah, motre\u0107i svoje pokrete punih sat vremena u hodu. Ve\u0107ina \u010clanova je protok vremena jednog sata koncentracije na hod i disanje dozivjela kao skra\u0107en. Trening u odljepljivanju od ideja, misli,\u00a0osje\u0107aja\u00a0i tjelesnih senzacija tra\u017ei vje\u0161tinu\u00a0promatranja\u00a0i snagu prepoznavanja mentalnog toka koji se ostavlja takav kakav jest tamo gdje je nastao, barem na kratko, donose\u0107i neopisiv mir boravljenja u sada\u0161njem momentu u kojemu se gubi osje\u0107aj vremenskog protoka. Nazvali smo to \u2018pu\u0161tanjem vlastitih kokica na pa\u0161u\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unato\u010d dugim satima sjedenja u meditaciji, od 06:00-19:00 (s odgovaraju\u0107im pauzama),<\/b> entuzijazam cijele grupe pove\u0107avao se svakim narednim danom. Osje\u0107aji sklada i sre\u0107e su prevladali me\u0111u svima. Uostalom, odnosi izme\u0111u ljudi povezanih zajedno kroz duhovne prakse su mnogo ja\u010di od onih koji ve\u017eu ljude zajedno kroz svjetovne aktivnosti. Barem bi tako trebalo biti, jer kroz\u00a0mahayansku\u00a0duhovnu praksu cilj je posti\u0107i ne samo najve\u0107e\u00a0dobro za samog sebe,<\/b> ve\u0107 i za sva druga osjetilna bi\u0107a, tako\u0111er. Takva divna motivacija ne ostavlja slobodan prostor za neugodnosti, borbe i sl.Dan kada smo u\u0161li u\u00a0okru\u017eenje\u00a0za na\u0161e povla\u010denje, vlasnica imanja nas je pozdravila rekav\u0161i da smo donijeli sa sobom sunce. Nai<\/i><\/b>me, jo\u0161 od zimskog vremena ovdje su se smjenjivali samo ki\u0161ni dani. Kao da su se potvrdile njezine rije\u010di, vrijeme se idu\u0107ih sedam dana pokazalo kao vrlo stabilno uz obilje sunca, dok je ostatak zemlje imao lokalne pljuskove. No sedmog dana, nakon \u0161to smo se spakirali za odlazak i napravili zadnje skupne fotografije u predivnom zelenom pejsa\u017eu, ki\u0161a je po\u010dela sipati. S obzirom na sedmodnevni predah od ki\u0161e, konji na ran\u010du u svakom su momentu u\u017eivali, presretni u slobodnom tr\u010danju zelenim pa\u0161njakom, \u010daste\u0107i se satima so\u010dnom travom kao da su\u00a0predosje\u0107ali\u00a0da \u0107e ki\u0161a do\u0107i uskoro. Ma\u010dke i ma\u010di\u0107i sjedili su konstantno ispred na\u0161ih vrata, kao da su i oni u meditaciji. Dva dobra psa s ran\u010da bili su na\u0161i stalni gosti pridru\u017euju\u0107i se na\u0161im ve\u010derama. Jednostavna jela od ri\u017ee,\u00a0le\u0107<\/b>e\u00a0i salate od\u00a0povr\u0107a\u00a0svake ve\u010dere koju su spremali zajedno \u010dlanovi grupe, \u010dinilo se, nisu nikome smetala. Ipak, \u017eudnja za raznoliko\u0161\u0107u u hrani, savladala je i natjerala jednog od na\u0161a dva psa da uzme jednu od obrednih\u00a0tormi\u00a0koju smo prinijeli svjetovnim za\u0161titnicima. Vidjeli smo ga kako veselo bje\u017ei s njom u ustima,<\/b> ali spu\u0161tenog pogleda, u vrijeme na\u0161eg odlaska.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drugoga<\/b> dana, kada smo po prvi puta u povla\u010denju mentalno prizvali Lamu Tsong Khapu\u00a0vizualiziraju\u0107i ga na oblaku kako sjeda na svoj tron, iznenada je\u00a0sijevnulo\u00a0i za\u010dula se prodorna tutnjava groma koji je upravo udario u gromobran na krovu ispod kojeg se nalazio na\u0161 meditacijski prostor, i to ba\u0161 taj bungalov od niza drugih bungalova u blizini. U to vrijeme obredno je kreiran vajra \u0161ator sa za\u0161titnim vajra prstenom oko meditacijskog prostora, pa smo u tome prepoznali vidljivi znak blagoslova vajra uma iz samog\u00a0Gandena\u00a0i shvatili njegovu nepogre\u0161ivost. Bilo je to ozna\u010deno samo jednim udarom groma nakon \u010dega je utihnulo i potpuno se razvedrilo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

S na\u0161im unutarnjim napunjenim baterijama napustili smo mjesto povla\u010denja, spremni koristiti ovu pozitivnu energiju u na\u0161em svakodnevnom \u017eivotu. \u017divot i Dharma nisu odvojeni. Zapravo \u017eivot je Dharma. Moramo samo znati kako primi<\/b>jeniti na\u0161e duhovne prakse u svakodnevnoj situaciji. Na primjer, iznijeti patnju na duhovni put, zna\u010di suo\u010diti se s njom i koristiti ju za u\u010denje o sebi, a takvu priliku na\u0161 \u017eivot nam daje cijelo vrijeme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Na povratku u Zagreb, svi smo stali u mjestu Rastoke<\/b> kako bismo posve\u0107enim obrednim tormama\u00a0iz na\u0161eg povla\u010denja hranili ribe u rijeci Korani s motivacijom da ovaj \u010din doprinese njihovom boljem budu\u0107em prepora\u0111anju. Nakon toga proveli smo jo\u0161 neko vrijeme zajedno uz \u010daj i sokove, dijele\u0107i me\u0111usobno sre\u0107u i mir koju smo izdisali prema svima u na\u0161oj blizini. Jo\u0161 jednom je vrijeme bilo na na\u0161oj strani, nebo se na trenutak zaplavilo ispunjeno bjelinom oblaka koji su nekud plovili tra\u017ee\u0107i uto\u010di\u0161te u praznini beskraja. Mirisalo je na ljeto. Na svje\u017eoj travi i li\u0161\u0107u velikog drve\u0107a ljeskale su vodene kapi. Velika pozornica \u017eivotne ljepote mirno je disala u skladu sa svojom prirodom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ponovo smo se na\u0161li pod velikim udarom ki\u0161e tek onda kada smo putovali prema Zagrebu, uranjaju\u0107i u svakodnevne misli koje su kucale na na\u0161a vrata tra\u017ee\u0107i svoje izgubljeno mjesto na kojem osje\u0107aju sigurnost, barem za sada,<\/b> do narednog povla\u010denja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jako sam se veselila retreatu i na kraju sam oti\u0161la doma s puno vi\u0161e pozitivnog iskustva nego \u0161to sam o\u010dekivala, jedino \u0161to mi je nekako prekratko trajalo \ud83d\ude42 Hvala na velikom trudu Reeni i Dragi da nam omogu\u0107e ovo nezaboravno unutarnje putovanje! \/\u017deljka Kolari\u0107<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dok se gradila mandala stvarnost se raspala u milion si\u0107u\u0161nih komada, a onda su Reena i Drago beskrajnim strpljenjem i suosje\u0107anjem lijepili komadi\u0107 po komadi\u0107 onako kako to treba biti… Hvala Reeni i Dragi na dragocjenom predavanju svojih znanja i iskustava, hvala svim \u010dlanovima sanghe na divnom dru\u017eenju!

Ve\u0107 iz iskustva sna\u017eno sam predosje\u0107ao, \u010dak i izra\u017eavao drugima, osje\u0107aj koliko mnogo \u0107e ovo povla\u010denje nadalje unaprijediti sve nas polaznike u pravcu razumijevanja istinskih ljudskih vrijednosti kao i prirode uma. Ipak, na kraju povla\u010denja shvatio sam da nisam niti pribli\u017eno slutio koliko. \/Petar Sugovi\u0107<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bila sam Buddha jedan tjedan. U ti\u0161ini svog uma. Daleko od svijeta \u0161to stvarnost ga neki zovu. Udah, izdah. I praznost. Sunce me pr\u017eilo, ptice su pjevale, oblaci su pri\u010dali neku svoju neshvatljivu pri\u010du. \/Ivana Lon\u010darevi\u0107<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Osvijestio sam prija\u0161nja u\u010denja i pribli\u017eio se na putu samospoznaje;<\/b> okus i ugoda svega u\u010dinjenog u retreatu me ispunjava i dalje.” \/Goran \u0160imi\u0107 – \u0160ime<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Kada sam krenula na put \u017eeljela sam imati iskustvo meditacije mirnoobitavaju\u0107eg uma. To je lak\u0161e posti\u0107i kada je \u010dovjek odvojen od svojih uobi\u010dajenih uloga i obveza. Kada sam se vratila iz ‘povla\u010denja’ imala sam osje\u0107aj da sam se energetski obnovila i da je posuda mojeg bi\u0107a ispunjena svjetlom.” \/Asija Delali\u0107<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Generalno \u0161to se ti\u010de retreata, osje\u0107am pozitivno djelovanje u svakodnevnom \u017eivotu tih sedam dana. Bilo je lijepo i korisno. \/Sr\u0111an iz Zadra<\/strong>\/<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Naravno slojevita dubina nauka, me kao i nakon lanjskog retreta, zadivila, mo\u017eda bolje re\u0107i zapanjila i motivirala za daljnje u\u010denje. No motivaciju za ustrajnost u svakodnevnoj praksi bih istaknuo kao najva\u017enije iskustvo ovogodi\u0161njeg meditacijskog povla\u010denja.

Nineteen members of our Padmasana Buddhist Society , freeing themselves from their mundane activities entered into a\u00a0 seven days retreat in Jelov Klanac.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The retreat was on the preliminary practices which are the very foundation for all other Buddhist practices. If the foundation of the house is weak it shall fall easily, in the same way without the foundation of the preliminaries, there cannot be any stability and benefit of the practices of Tantra. It was because of this, that great yogis like Lama Tsong khapa spent many years engaging in the preliminary practices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The environment of the retreat was serine, friendly, simple yet comfortable and away from all kinds of disturbing noises of humans, traffic etc. In the seven days we encountered only the horses in the ranch, a few cats, kittens and dogs. For many of us this was a familiar surrounding as we held our annual retreat here for the fourth consecutive time. As in all other previous years the retreat was led by the spiritual mentors of our Society \u2018 Gen Lobsang Norbu ( Drago) and Lhamo Ozer Chenma (Reena)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Opening the retreat with the tantric rituals to receive the blessings from the great Dorsem mandala that continued for six hours, we entered the retreat with ease. For some members the purification gave way to tears as though washing away the heaviness which was kept hidden within themselves.\u00a0 During the following six days in conjunction with the preliminary practices and initiations given by Alak Tsawa Rinpoche to the group members in 2013, meditation sessions were undertaken on the practices of Vajrasattva ( Kriya Tantra) and Ganden lha Gyama. In both these practices purification of the body, speech and mind was performed over and over again. Just as one washes cloths because the clothes \u00a0have the potential to be clean, in the same way one engages in the purification of the body, speech and mind as each have the potential of the enlightened body, speech and mind that are obscured temporarily by impurities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to the above practices, in the early mornings the day began with the Shamatha practice, to calm the mind making it more pliable. In the afternoons the group engaged in an hour of walking Vipassana meditation combined with the breath, being aware of every movement. For most of the members this hour seemed to pass too quickly. Training to remove the stickiness or grasping to ideas, thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, requires skillfulness\u00a0\u00a0 of observation and the power to recognize the flow of mental thoughts, to leave the thoughts as they are, to let them originate and cease naturally. The success of such a practice even briefly brings indefinable peace resting in the present moment losing a sense of time. \u00a0We named this \u2018releasing own chicken (thoughts) on the pasture.\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite the long hours of sitting in meditation from 6:00 am to 7.00 pm (with adequate breaks) the enthusiasm of the group increased with each day. A sense of harmony and happiness prevailed. After all, the bound among people tied together through spiritual practices is much stronger than people bound together through mundane activities. At least this is how it should be because through spiritual practices you not only aim for the highest goodness for yourself but for all other sentient beings as well. Such a wonderful motivation leaves no room for unpleasantness, fights etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The day when we entered our retreat surrounding, the lady owner greeted us saying we had brought the sun with us. She said from the winter time they had been having continuous rains. As though to prove her right the weather for the next seven days was stable with plenty of sunshine, while the rest of the country was having rain showers. However on the seventh day after we packed to depart and took some group photographs the rain started to pour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Given some respite from the rain for seven days, during the retreat the horses of the ranch were overjoyed freely running around eating the tender grass for long hours as though sensing that the rains would come soon. The cats and kittens sat constantly outside our door as though in meditation themselves. The dogs were our constant guests joining us for dinner. Rice and pulses every night cooked together by group members did not seem to bother them. Yet craving for some variety in food, one of the dogs managed to take a torma that we had offered to the worldly protectors and was seen at the time of our departure running away with it merrily yet with his head hanging downwards in guilt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the second day , when we evoked Lama\u00a0 Tsong Khapa visualized over clouds for the first time in the retreat , despite other bungalows in the vicinity\u00a0 , a thunder lightening struck precisely over the rooftop of our meditation hut. <\/b>During that time we had already transformed mentally our meditation hut into a Vajra tent with a protective Vajra fense around the meditation area. It was as though we received a sign of blessing of the infallible Vajra mind from Ganden. \u00a0After just a strike of thunder, complete silence prevailed and the sky cleared up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With our inner batteries recharged we left the retreat to use this positive energy in our everyday lives. Life and Dharma are not apart. In fact life is Dharma. We just need to know how to make use of our spiritual practices. For example to bring suffering onto the path we need to face suffering, this opportunity our life gives us all the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the way back to Zagreb we all stopped in a place called Rastoke to offer the tormas of the retreat to the fish in the river Korana with the motivation that may this act bring about a better rebirth for them. After that we spent a little time together drinking some beverage, sharing among us an air of happiness and peace which spread and touched the people surrounding us. Once again as though the weather was on our side, the sky cleared up, filled with white clouds which floated about, as though searching for refuge in the endless space. The smell of summer was in the air. On the fresh grass and on the leaves of the big tress raindrops sparkled. \u00a0The stage of the beauty of life breathed peacefully in harmony with its own nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once again we found ourselves struck by heavy rain just as we began to travel towards Zagreb, \u00a0\u00a0<\/b>plunging into everyday thoughts that knocked on our door searching for the safety of their lost place, until the next retreat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Impressions of the participants of the meditation retreat:<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I was really looking forward to the retreat and after the retreat I went back\u00a0 home with \u00a0much more positive experience than I expected,( except that\u00a0 somehow it lasted for a short time ). Thanks to the great effort\u00a0 of Reena and Drago for giving \u00a0us \u00a0the possibility of this unforgettable inner journey! \u2013<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

-\u017deljka Kolari\u0107<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Generally with regard to this retreat, I felt a positive effect \u00a0in everyday life during these seven days. It was nice and helpful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Love you all<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhen I started on the path, I wanted to have the experience of meditation of the calm abiding mind. This \u00a0is easier to achieve when a person\u00a0 is separated from\u00a0 daily roles and responsibilities. When I came back from the retreat, I had a feeling that I renewed my energy and that \u00a0the vessel of my being \u00a0was filled with light. “Gen. Lobsang Norbu\u00a0 and Lhamo Ozer Chenma thank you for the teachings, your presence and guidance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

-Asija Delali\u0107<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Already from experience, I strongly felt, even expressed to others, a sense of how much this retreat for all of us students is going to \u00a0further improve towards understanding the true human values \u200b\u200band the nature of mind. However, at the end of the retreat, I realized that I was \u00a0not even\u00a0 close to imagining\u00a0 how much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

– Peter Sugovi\u0107<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For a week I was the Buddha . In the silence of my mind. Far from the world that some call reality. \u00a0Inhalation, exhalation and \u00a0emptiness like space. I was burned by the sun, the birds were singing, the clouds were talking about \u00a0some \u00a0incomprehensible story of theirs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

-Ivana Lon\u010darevi\u0107<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“I\u00a0 remembered \u00a0previous teachings and came closer to the path of knowing\u00a0 myself;\u00a0 the taste and comfort \u00a0of all\u00a0 that was done\u00a0 in the \u00a0retreat continues to fill me . “<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

-Goran \u0160imi\u0107-\u0160ime<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course \u00a0the layers of the depth of the teachings, as also after last year’s retreat, amazed,\u00a0 rather\u00a0 to say surprised and motivated \u00a0me for further learning. But the motivation to persevere in the daily practice, \u00a0can be pointed out as the most important experience of this years meditation retreat. Gen. Lobsang Norbu \u00a0and Lhamo \u00a0Ozer Chenma, thank you for the teachings, your presence and guidance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
