Outer Rushen retreat
Retreat with Keith Dowman Dzogchen Master
Hungary/Bakony Mount/Hárskút/Ráktanya
Ráktanya Cottage near Hárskút in the Bakony mountain area.
Monday May 14. - Thursday May 24. 2012

This Rushen has become the best opportunity for Dzogchen practise scheduled in Europe. For those who have neither the experience nor the fortitude for the outer, the inner rushen can be practised. But the Bakony mountains with their deciduous forest provide an unexcelled sun-filled user-friendly environment for the outer rushen retreat. Everyone who attends will have had the Dzogchen pointing out instruction.


The Bones of Dzogchen
Dzogchen stripped down to its original unelaborated quintessence, the vision as the twenty-four hour meditation, non-cultural Buddhism, with introduction to the nature of mind: this is the Dzogchen forged in the Outer Rushen Retreat.
The theme of the retreat is the vast space of Vajrasattva in which all our partial experience is completed, all conditioned cultural attachments transcended, all personal insufficiencies requited.
Those yogis yoginis with previous Rushen experience warmly invited and others firmly committed to the Dzogchen view welcomed. International guests also warmly welcomed.

Ráktanya – Crab Den:
The yearly rushen retreat of Keith Dowman Dzogchen Master takes place at the Bakony-mountains, near to a little settlement called Hárskút, in the middle of the woods at the Crab Den. The wooden den is 5 kms from the Hárskút settlement. The hummocky approachable farm consists of five buildings on the territory of a parklike glade. The den is surrounded by woodland many kilometres long, so isolation seems secured. It is a fact although, that the buildings of the Crab Den are rated latchkey houses, which means it is possible that lesser groups may near to the territory. After the master of the territory, this is off-chance in this time of the year.

To be known about the retreat:
The rushen retreat gives us opportunity to the dynamic practice of the Inner rushen meditations and mainly the practice of Outer Rushen, the live the six realms of being on physical and vocal level, in dance and songs and in the imagined madness. We welcome everybody fondly, who got initiation into the nature of mind and practiced Inner rushen.
 
No rules, no presciptions!
The daily program consists of the morning teaching in the shed, the midday meal and the supper at 20:00. We do the principal practices alone, in our tents, and the tents are placed as far from each other, to separate as much as possible. The daily order may change during the retreat. To optimalise the time spent lonely, we ask you to bring spare food, oily seeds, dried fruits, cheese, biscuit etc. and water!
 
The forseeable cost of the retreat is 250 EU, which contains every cost except traveling. The participants from Hungary and Eatern-Europe pay 45000 HUF. If there is any kind of monetary hardship then make contact with the Shambala Tibet Center.
