Dear Vajra Family and Friends, We are pleased to announce this retreat, which will combine the following two elements: MeditationFor establishing a Dzogchen perspective as a base for contemplation, Longchenpa instructs in "The Precious Ship": "Examine this present mindful awareness internally, externally, and in between. First, where does it come from? Where does it rest now? Finally, where does it go? Can you determine its colour or shape? Wherever this awareness is present, is it an object which appears externally? Is it one of the psychological constituents of a person? Does it exist somewhere in between? Since you have not found this awareness by examining and analysing what appears externally or internally, you ought to conclude that even the ten essential aspects of tantra 45 are also not found upon inquiry. When you investigate whether perspective, meditation, commitment, charismatic activity, mandala, empowerment, stages of cultivation, paths to traverse, obstacles to purify, pristine awarenesses, or buddha activity exist in their own right or are founded on something else and do not find any of these to exist in reality, this is known as "The great transcendent nonmeditation, the real significance of the ten primordially pure aspects of tantra." This will be the meditation practice for our retreat. YogaThe Yantra Yoga sessions will not be broadcast. RequirementsStudents must have received transmission from either Chogyal Namkhai Norbu or Namkhai Yeshi.
