Kum Nye Meditation
Sunday Aug 11th dinner – Friday Aug 23rd lunch, 2024
– AH –
After his one-year solitary retreat in the Nepal mountains, guided by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, Arnaud is looking forward to share Rinpoche’s in-depth and detailed instructions on Kum Nye for mind as presented in the magnificent book The Joy of Being (Dharma Publishing, 2005 and 2016). Learning to surrender to Kum Nye’s flowing feelings and expanding the silent field of mind, the light of awareness begins to shine through.

Kum Nye, and especially when we quicken feelings, will transparentize your undermining, inner whisperer and expose your soul has a continual ‘yes’ within it. To be joyful is natural – the joy of being, grounded in that which does not change, without beginning or end.

With Rinpoche’s book Gestures of Great Love (Dharma Publishing 2022) we will discover the dynamic of time’s ‘instant’. On the threshold of precognition, before thoughts take shape, the instant glows – AH.

The program will further include detailed practices from The Joy of Being’s rich chapters Being Present in the Breath, Surrendering to Calmness and Making Mind our Friend. Additionally sound, specifically AH and the rhythms and frequencies of quickening feelings will be methodically repeated in mostly silent practice times. Authentic contact with stillness, the unknown speaks.

The Kum Nye feeling experience reveals what the present offers: complete, perfect human possibilities. Nothing missing. Arnaud: “I have no doubt that Living the Kum Nye Experience, as intimated by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, will lead to Living Liberation”.

This retreat is also an opportunity to build your resources for times of change and for less harmonious times. To further guide and protect our inner development, we will study and practice a short puja Homage to the Twenty-One Taras, as introduced by Rinpoche, for those who are interested.

If this sounds right for you, join us for a twelve-day in-depth retreat. No late arrivals or early departures. The wish for a ‘nice’ experience will not do. The only requirement is full participation, a genuine interest in learning Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche’s Teachings, particularly Kum Nye.
Place: Haus Ohrbeck, near Osnabrück, Germany.
Costs per person:
Single room: € 2245; Double room: € 2095, incl. accommodations, all meals plus the teachings.
For registration, please contact Jutta: j.fethke(at)web.de

The retreat will be led by Arnaud Maitland and Andis Egle.
Arnaud has been on retreat for over four years after having studied and worked with Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche since 1977. Leading seminars and retreats solely on Rinpoche’s teachings, Arnaud wrote three books, all with Dharma Publishing: MasterWork, Living without Regret, and Reflections of Faith (to be published in Spanish, German, and Portuguese in 2024).
Andis has been a Kum Nye teacher since 2009 and is Rinpoche’s main sculptor on many sacred art projects, currently nearly singlehandedly creating a 30ft tall standing Padmasambhava statue.
