“Relax your mind in simplicity, released from struggle and effort, like a garuda soaring through space.”   

–Tashi Namgyal 

In these times of chaos and aggression, simplicity is needed more than ever. It is also the key to profound realization on the path of Dharma.

This weekend retreat is for Vajrayana practitioners, who wish to deepen their meditation experience. We will use a brief mahamudra text by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal, which gives six pith instructions. For tantrikas, these teachings point to the recognition of mind nature. For all practitioners, these pith instructions are a skillful guide for developing authentic meditation practice.

Most of our retreat will be meditation practice guided by pith instructions, in an atmosphere of silence. There will be brief talks with Q&A and a circle conversation.

“Simplify your lives as much as you can.”

 —  Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in his will

Heart Gifts

It is customary to offer a Heart Gift (a monetary offering) to a dharma teacher. The Heart Gift is completely voluntary according to your inspiration and financial means, and there is no suggested amount. This is a significant source of income for many teachers.

There will be an opportunity to do this near the end of the program.
