Retreat in Tibetan Buddhism

The article is devoted to retreat in Tibetan Buddhism. The author reveals the essence of retreat in Buddhist tradition and defines its different kinds: physical, status, psychological, Mahayana and Tantric. The practice of the complex of elements associated with the realization of relative bodhichits (Mahayana seclusion) is currently one of the most popular, since it does not require blind faith and immersion in a trance state. Not attempting to change the scientific picture of the world, it harmonizes the spiritual life of a person.
