Hidden among the rich, natural beauty of North West Bali is Odiyana Bali, a Buddhist wellness retreat designed for individuals, couples or spiritual groups to find some time out from the rush of the modern world.
Odiyana was the birthplace of Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, the Indian Master who established Buddhism in Tibet by taming the wild inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau and transforming them through his spiritual charisma and creativity.
In the 8th century, his teachings became the Ancient Order (Nyingma) of Tibetan Buddhism. In this age of technology, his instructions are more essential than ever.
The present Dalai Lama himself has stated the importance of Padmasambhava in this day and age.
