Mahamudra Meditation Teaching

November 2, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Venerable Drupon Thinley Ningpo returns November 2nd and 3rd, 2019, to teach Mahamudra Meditation, revealing and clarifying pith instructions from the famous treatisetreatise, Words of Vajradhara Dharmakirti: A Record of Instructions on Five-Fold Mahamudra by the 17th century meditation master, Lho Trinley Namgyal.

Drupon will teach from the extensive Mahamudra chapter, essential meditation instructions received and practiced in Drikung Kagyü three-year retreats for centuries. We are extremely fortunate to be able to receive these from a retreat master who has received and realized such traditional training.

Topics contained in this teaching elucidate the core tenets of Mahamudra practice, such as Calm Abiding and Special Insight, Ascertaining the Nature of the Mind, Resolving That Appearances are the Mind, Explanation of the Faults of Meditation, Identifying Fresh, Ordinary Mind and The Experience of Faultless Meditation. We will receive detailed instructions section by section.

The chapter that will be taught is available here: Mahamudra-Meditation. Please feel free to download it and familiarize yourself with the text prior to the teaching.

We are also delighted to announce that Eric Fry-Miller will serve as the translator for this special weekend.

NOTE: Given the amount of material to cover, the event starts at 9am on both Saturday, November 2nd and Sunday, November 3rd.
