BHUTAN GRAND RETREAT - THE WISH-FULFILLING JEWEL
His Eminence Dorji Rinchen Rinpoche,
Venerable Khenpo Thoepa Jamtsho,
100 Bhutan Monks & Yantara Jiro
The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel
Yantara Jiro had a vision of a lotus bud, its first petal unfurling in silence, releasing a single, resonant note. This vision birth the first retreat in Bhutan, 2025.
In 2026, Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), also known as the holder of wish-fulfilling jewel, who has the ability to grant spiritual aspirations of practitioners, especially the ultimate wish - Enlightenment; gave clear guidance to Yantara, hence, the “The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Grand Retreat”.
In the stillness of Bhutan’s sacred power spots, this Grand Retreat is about recognising your true-heart. Through daily meditation practices of inner stillness, sound transmissions, sacred ceremonies, energy activations, and deep connection with the elements of Nature, the journey is beyond reasoning and all about heart awakening.
The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Grand Retreat is empowered by Chenrezig, the observer of all sounds of the world.
Bhutan is full of precious spiritual hidden treasures (Termas). Visiting them along with active energy work on the spot accelerates spiritual transformations.
There will be a three-day Chenrezig Grand Ceremony held by His Eminence Dorji Rinchen Rinpoche, and Khenpo Thoepa, empowerments that are profoundly rare and personalised will be bestowed just for our group. Alongside, Yantara Jiro will share esoteric teachings and rare sound transmissions to unveil our path of remembrance and realizations throughout the retreat.
A PRACTICAL PATH
The journey unfolds gradually. It often begins with strengthening the body’s energy and calming the nervous system, which allows attention to stabilise. With steady focus, the mind learns to rest in stillness without force. As stillness deepens, perception begins to shift and what once felt solid and separate is seen more clearly as fluid and interconnected.
Inevitably, deeper emotional patterns, fears, and attachments surface. Rather than avoiding them, the practitioner learns to observe without identification. Through this process, moments of clarity arise, brief awakenings where one recognises the true nature of mind. As these moments repeat and stabilise, they mature into True Awakening: a continuous, grounded clarity that is no longer lost.
From this stable ground, practical benefits often begin to show up naturally in life, bringing real encouragement to keep going. Emotional reactivity tends to soften, allowing calmer responses to work deadlines, financial pressures, and during social interactions.
Daily life with loved ones and colleagues improves due to your influencing harmonious vibrations. Genuine presence deepens bonds with spouse, children, and coworkers, while better sleep and steady vital energy carry you through busy days.
More importantly, a strong conviction takes root in your heart, awakening natural compassion and a clear pursuit of true wisdom. Your devotion to self-growth no longer wavers, now equipped with practical skills to navigate obstacles especially in this fast-paced modern age.
TRUE AWAKENING
True Awakening is a stable state of clarity in which the mind remains bright, steady, and undisturbed. Thoughts may still arise, but they no longer cloud awareness or distract one into confusion. This clarity generates a quiet yet powerful energy that naturally supports deeper spiritual growth.
At this stage, one directly sees that the ego-self is not solid or real, but a constructed pattern of thoughts, memories, and reactions. This insight is no longer just an idea, it becomes a lived experience that does not fade under pressure or distraction. Even so, True Awakening is not the final destination.
Progress toward this state depends on supportive inner and outer conditions. These can be understood as spiritual resources: the ability to sustain attention, discipline in practice, sufficient time and space for inner work, reduced distraction from worldly demands, and a stable reserve of vital energy. When these conditions are present, the path becomes smoother and more continuous.
Power Spots of Paro, Thimphu & Bumthang
During our grand retreat, we will journey through Bhutan’s three powerful places, Paro, Thimphu and Bumthang, spending most of our time in Bumthang in deep meditative training and grand ceremonies held inside powerful, high-vibration temples. The retreat includes specially arranged meetings with esteemed Lamas at select temples where we will attend Pujas and rare ceremonies tailored for our group. These sacred rituals support purification, the clearing of karmic imprints, and the rare transmission of spiritual mantra empowerments.
3-Day Chenrezig Drubchen Grand Ceremony
His Eminence Dorji Rinchen Rinpoche, Venerable Khenpo Thoepa Jamtsho & 100 Monks
His Eminence Dorji Rinchen Rinpoche
On the 10 Oct 2026, New Moon, we have requested His Eminence Dorji Rinchen Rinpoche to facilitate a three-day Chenrezig Grand Ceremony, which includes Empowerment (Wang) and Oral Transmission (Lung) of Chenrezig, and further Lung on Green Tara and Guru Rinpoche. This Grand Ceremony is extremely rare and usually only held once a year, but we have been granted the blessing to receive it especially for our group.
This will be presided along with Venerable Khenpo Thoepa and over 100 monks! Moreover, as a group we will be opening the doors offering food and drinks to the local public to be part of the Grand Ceremony to receive this auspicious empowerments and blessings!

An Online Sharing on 3 May 2026 : The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Grand Retreat
Yantara shared about Spiritual awakening and inner development, which require the right conditions. What are these conditions, and how can we consciously cultivate them?
He also revealed exciting details of the upcoming Bhutan retreat (October 8–22, 2026) and explained why building a spiritual foundation over the next two years (2026 and 2027) is so important. Yantara answered many spiritual-related questions, not all about Bhutan, such as “What is True nature?” and Why is it difficult for some people to visualise in meditation?”
Enjoy the wealth of insights offered, and may it inspire you in some way! 😁🪷💖🙏

BHUTAN - THE LAND OF THUNDER DRAGON
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, at elevations from 2,000 to over 7,000 meters (approx. 6,600 to 23,000 feet), Bhutan is a Buddhist kingdom where time slows and the sacred flows through mountain air and temple chants. Spirituality infuses daily life from pilgrims spinning prayer wheels to monks chanting in centuries-old monasteries. Prayer flags ripple across ridges, and chortens (stupas) grace every path.
With its deep reverence for nature, spiritual heritage, and commitment to Gross National Happiness, Bhutan offers a rare sanctuary for those seeking inner peace and higher consciousness. Here, amidst snow-capped peaks, emerald valleys, and centuries-old sacred sites, the veil between the physical & spiritual worlds feels thinner.
Across Bhutan, countless mountain peaks, temples, and remote sanctuaries serve as potent Power Spots, places where the spiritual energy is palpably high. When we enter these highly charged environments, our vibrational frequency naturally rises with greater ease. This supports deeper meditation, inner stillness, and the clearing of energetic blockages across many levels of our being.
