Sutra Mahamudra: Teachings, Contemplations & Meditations
July 23, 2010 @ 12:00 am - July 25, 2010 @ 12:00 am
Sutra Mahamudra: Teachings, Contemplations & Meditations reveals that the nature of our body, speech and mind is primordial wakefulness – similar to the deep blue of the Tucson sky revealed after a passing Summer monsoon.
This primordial wakefulness is what is called Buddhahood or Enlightenment and it is inherent within all sentient beings. The practice of Sutra Mahamudra essentially involves the study and contemplation of particular texts, followed by meditation.
We contemplate the teachings on emptiness or shunyata,as well as the teachings on buddha nature – our fundamental wakefulness. Through this process, we discover the heart of enlightenment.
Please bring: The Jewel Ornament of Liberation (Gampopa), Buddha Nature, Uttaratantra Shastra (Maitreya) and Introduction to the Middleway, Madhyamakavatara (Chandrakirti). It is not necessary to purchase these texts to participate in these teachings. These books however are available in our bookstore or you may share some of our libraryís loaner copies.
