Join us for
Mahamudra Retreat
with Lama Palden and Lama Tashi
Thursday to Sunday, April 10-13, 2025

Every morning, Lama Tashi will introduce the Extraordinary Shamata (Calm-Abiding) Practice of the Shangpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. This form of Calm-Abiding gives us a powerful experiential introduction to the “poetics of presence,” the emergent qualities of the elements of earth, water, fire, air, space, and consciousness. Aligning ourselves to such resonant visualizations will balance, pacify, clarify, and awaken our biological and subtle anatomy with the natural elements and seeds of pure perception. In this fashion, we set the necessary foundations for strengthening our capacity to rest as wisdom-awareness, while simultaneously deepening our loving-compassionate appreciation of differences and interdependence. 

On this basis, in the afternoon we will meditate, resting deeply in loving- awareness, moving into insight of our awakened nature with Mahamudra practice and pointing out instructions. Via dialogue Lama Palden will work individually with students to help deepen the realization process of Mahamudra meditation.

For people who are interested in the upcoming Mahamudra depth practice program of study, this retreat will be an excellent first step.

Basic familiarity with meditation required.
