Nalandabodhi East Coast is hosting its sixth annual winter retreat, “Waking Up Our Hearts: The Condensed Meaning of the Bodhicharyavatara.” This Dec. 31-Jan. 3 retreat will be taught by Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyalsten, Acharya Lhakpa Tshering, Acharya Tashi Wangchuk and Mitra Lee Worley.
Join us on Zoom Dec. 21 for this annual practice on the eve of winter solstice. This year the change of season is accompanied by a pandemic that has raised emotional turbulence and fear for many. The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra is particularly powerful during times of great disruption.
Please register by Dec. 11 to access recorded teachings by Mitra Dean Karl Brunnhölzl on the Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra. Once registered, you will have access through Jan. 31. These teachings are particularly powerful during times of great disruption. This four-part series is based on Mitra Karl’s recently published book, A Lullaby to Awaken the Heart.
Acharya Tashi will offer virtual teachings on the Mahamudra Aspiration by the Third Karmapa on Sundays from Oct. 25 through Dec. 13. This text is among the most treasured teachings in the Kagyu lineage, capturing the essential points of the view, practice and fruition of Mahamudra practice.
Registration is open for the annual Treasury of Knowledge Retreat, to be held virtually Nov. 13-15. Ponlop Rinpoche will teach on the Medicine Buddha practice, held to be extremely powerful for healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
During times of great disruption it is easy to slip into destructive habits – fear, denial, confusion, negativity, short temper or a sense of righteousness. Mitra Dean Karl will be teaching based on his recently published book “A Lullaby to Awaken the Heart”.
