WARRIORS OF COMPASSION
Inner and outer Tantra retreat led by Estera Saraswati
Please find wholeheartedly invited, those of you who resonate with the above photo. We know that in order to protect, care for and build a life based on values, it takes a lot of determination, patience, trust, deep understanding, courage and wisdom of discernment. This retreat will be a spaceous immersion to gain a new perspective and lightly but firmly make some necessary changes. We will get new knowledge and tools that will help to organize and combine seemingly contradictory elements more easily.
Warriors of Compassion
Warriors of compassion are those who consistently and persistently follow the path of life, courageously following noble values. Their mind is dedicated to good of the whole, and their heart beats to a rhythm of the earth. They often jump into unknown space with courage and fear at the same time. They share with their resources generously. Wisdom guides them, as well as sometimes a crazy love for life and all beings. They are not ashamed of their stumbles, shortcomings and mistakes. These are the stages through which they improve and develop compassion. They support others, wanting to leave a meaningful footprint and a better world.
Compassion
Compassion is different from love. It contains an active quality of discernment, wisdom and understanding that come from experiencing deep, spiritual insight into reality. Often then we make choices that are incomprehensible from a perspective of a self-centered person, which can be seen as acting to our own disadvantage. It is also a double-edged sword, it affects us as well as others, opening us even more to understanding and potent space full of possibilities. In fact, we lose a little to gain a lot. However, only after walking a certain distance, we can see it as a profit.
Path of a warrior
Nowadays, one must be a warrior to follow a path of a heart. It means to subdue and tame inner demons of ignorance, pride, jealousy, ignorance, hatered and other disturbing emotions. It means to distinguish, to listens to space, to cut through what is toxic and still to love – be with an open, unbiased heart.
These are quite difficult, full of challenges times. It’s hard to walk this kind of path alone. It’s time to join forces and find allies.
It is a gradual process to become a warrior. This requires some regular work of polishing your inner diamond as well as a commitment to do it without hesitation.We need a group of supportive friends – a sangha (a group of practitioners of wisdom teachings) – who know similar challenges and share the same values.
