Shakiamuni Buddha said that life is a dream, and compared the manifestation of phenomena to the reflection of the moon in a lake and a rainbow in the sky: nothing exists in fact as our common perception would have us believe.<\/p>\n
The Dream Yoga is a method that helps us investigate these profound teachings and experience them in our own lives.<\/p>\n
This year-end, Lama Tsering will offer a Dream Yoga retreat (December 26\u00a0to January 1). This practice is part of the cycle of \"Red Tara - The Essence That Fulfills All Wishes,\" revealed by Apong Terton.<\/p>\n
