From October 9 to 16, 2025, a Gampopa Guru Yoga retreat was held at Palpung Sherabling Monastic Seat for devoted disciples from around the world who had gathered to receive the sacred transmission of Lord Gampopa's dohas and the Gampopa empowerment from Guru Vajradhara His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa. The retreat was organized by the Palpung Institute of Buddhist Studies.

The monastic seat's chief chanting master, Lama Dönme, provided detailed guidance to the retreatants on the visualization sequences of the generation and completion stages, mantra recitations, and meditations associated with the Gampopa Guru Yoga sadhana. He also gave precise instructions on the sequence of liturgical chanting and demonstrated the proper performance of the accompanying mudras.

Throughout the four daily sessions, both master and disciples engaged in Lord Gampopa's Guru Yoga practice with profound devotion, sincere aspiration, and great diligence. The retreat concluded auspiciously with an elaborate ganachakra offering.
