Three-day Outdoor Fall Retreat:
Led by Dharma Teacher Tsony
Thursday October 15 through Saturday October 17
9:00am-5:00pm at the Buddha Pavilion
Bodhi Path Natural Bridge
In this retreat we will study and practice two complementary trainings: Discernment (Prajna), and compassionate benevolence (Maitri/Karuna), together known as Bodhicitta, the enlightened mind attitude, in the context of Mahamudra.
Deep longing for enlightenment rises from the understanding that all beings are interconnected and conditioned by their karmic tendencies, pulled and pushed by their afflictive emotions. Acknowledging this, we aspire to obtain the capacity to help all beings through the understanding and practice of Bodhicitta.
This retreat will be based on two books by Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche: The Path to Awakening and Boundless Wisdom.

9am-5pm Thursday through Saturday, October 15-17, outside at the Buddha Pavilion. We will move into the meditation hall in the event of inclement weather.
