Cultivating Tranquility and Working with the Primary Hindrances to Meditation Retreat\nwith\nLama Michael Gregory\nFebruary 24 - 26\, 2023 \nOffered via Zoom \n \nMental Quiescence (Shamatha): A Description of the Upcoming Retreat and the Meditations Offered \nHow to Understand the Meditation Experiences of Calm-Abiding\, Mahamudra and Dzogchen \nThe Five experiences (Tib. ཉམས་ལྔ་\, nyam nga;) – these experiences accompany the development of shamatha (calm-abiding) meditation: \n\nAt the beginning thoughts will arrive one on top of another\, uninterrupted\, like a steep mountain waterfall. This is the experience of movement (གཡོ་བའི་ཉམས་\, yo ba'i nyams).\nGradually\, as you perfect meditation\, thoughts become like the water in a deep\, narrow gorge. This is the experience of attainment (ཐོབ་པའི་ཉམས་\, thob pa'i nyams).\nThen it becomes like a great river slowly winding its way down to the sea. This is the experience of familiarity (གོམས་པའི་ཉམས་\, goms pa'i nyams).\nThe mind then becomes like a still and placid ocean\, ruffled by only the occasional ripple or wave. This is the experience of stability (བརྟན་པའི་ཉམས་\, brtan pa'i nyams).\nThe fifth experience is that of consummation (མཐར་ཕྱིན་པའི་ཉམས་\, mthar phyin pa'i nyams) which is described as an oil lamp that is not blown by the wind\, resting bright and clear\, unmoved by anything.\n\nThree further experiences \nThree experiences (Tib. ཉམས་གསུམ་\, nyam sum) — three types of 'positive' meditation experiences mentioned in the Dzogchen and Mahamudra traditions. They are: \n\nBliss (Tib. བདེ་བའི་ཉམས་\, Wyl. bde ba'i nyams)\,\nClarity(Tib. གསལ་བའི་ཉམས་\, Wyl. gsal ba'i nyams)\, and\nAbsence of thoughts (Tib. མི་རྟོག་པའི་ཉམས་\, Wyl. mi rtog pa'i nyams).\n\nAs you continue to practice [meditation]\, you may have all kinds of experiences (Tib. nyam)\, both good and bad. Just as a room with many doors and windows allows the air to enter from many directions\, in the same way\, when your mind becomes open\, it is natural that all kinds of experiences can come into it. You might experience states of bliss\, clarity or absence of thoughts (non-conceptuality). \nIn one way these are very good experiences\, and signs of progress in meditation. \n\nFor when you experience bliss\, it’s a sign that desire has temporarily dissolved.\nWhen you experience real clarity\, it’s a sign that aggression has temporarily ceased.\nWhen you experience a state of absence of thought\, it’s a sign that your ignorance has temporarily died.\n\nBy themselves they are good experiences\, but if you get attached to them they become obstacles. Experiences are not realization in themselves; but if we remain free of attachment to them\, they become what they really are\, that is\, materials for realization. \nFurthermore\, it is said that being attached to these kinds of experience causes the practitioner to be further reborn in samsara—in places devoid of any opportunity to practise the Dharma\, respectively: \n\nAttachment to the experience of bliss can lead to a rebirth in one of the six heavens of the desire realm\, or in the preta realm;\nAttachment to the experience of clarity can lead to a rebirth in the heavens of the form realm\, and\nAttachment to the experience of absence of thought can lead to a rebirth in the heavens of the formless realm\, or in the animal realm.\n\n\nZoom and Retreat Recordings: \nThe retreat will be offered in our live\, interactive online zoom classroom. \nRecordings of teaching sessions will be posted within 24 hours after the end of the last session and will be available to all those who register for the retreat. \nWhen: \nThis retreat takes place on zoom from Friday 24 - 26. \nSchedule:\nStarts Friday February 24th at 4 pm PT\nEnds Sunday February 26th around noon PT \nWhere: \nThis retreat will also be offered online through our Virtual Classroom Zoom. Simply download the Free App on your Phone or Computer that allows you to fully interact with the retreat and teacher and attend from the comfort of your home. \nPrerequisites: \nThis retreat is open to every level of meditation practitioner. Foundational in this case does not mean beginning. It is an excellent meditation and study retreat for all. \nWhat Will Be Included? \n\nLive teaching\, Q&A\, and practice sessions with Lama Michael\nGuided meditation and teaching sessions with Lama Michael\nAccess to supporting written material\nAccess to retreat recordings on vimeo\n\n\nAbout the Teacher: \nLama Michael Gregory Biography \nLama Michael is a former Buddhist Monk\, Teacher and Executive Director of Mindfulness Meditation Centers.

Once you have cultivated the art of lucid dreaming — the exceptional\, potentially liberating state of consciousness in which you know you are dreaming is awakened. That knowledge transforms the mundane world into the extraordinary\, and dreams into a vehicle for the exploration of the very nature of reality. \nBuilding upon ancient teachings\, recent scientific research has developed new techniques and technology making lucid dreaming more accessible than ever before.\n\nWhat will be learned in this retreat? \nIn this retreat\, you will learn how to intentionally create your experience of reality. To utilize the power of lucidity and guide your dreams with wisdom using them for personal transformation and spiritual awakening.\n\nTopics in this Retreat Include: \n\nThe Science of Lucid Dreaming\nHow perceived reality and the phenomenal world are considered to be ultimately "unreal" - an "illusion”\nThe Buddhist philosophy of the similarity and non dual nature of the dream that is life and regular nightly dreams\nHow through Dream Yoga\, living may become the dream and the dream may become the living.\nEastern and Western techniques of entering into lucid dreaming\nThe importance of understanding how we project our worlds through 8th consciousness\nMind beyond body experiences\nMahamudra\, Dzogchen and how Dream Yoga mastery assists in the complete realization of emptiness.\n\nStephen LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming is a required text as well as a journal and an alarm clock.\n\nWhen: \nThis retreat takes place on zoom from Monday December 26 - January 4.

Therefore there are two lineages for the Yangti Nakpo: \nThe long lineage transmission (ring gyu) from Dungtso Repa 'the later' and the short lineage (nyegyü) through Trulshik Dongak Lingpa. \nAccording to Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche\, \n‘Within the Nyingma system of Dzogchen there are the Mind category (Semdé)\, the Space category (Longdé)\, and Category of Pith Instructions (Mengakdé) classes of teachings. Within the Category of Pith Instructions\, there are the Ati\, Chiti\, and Yangti levels of teaching. As the name suggests\, the Yangti Nagpo teachings belong to the Yangti or quintessence class.’ \nThat which is called Yangti refers to the very essence of the enlightened mind of Samantabhadra\, Vajrasattva\, and Vajradhara. \nIt is the culmination of the Heart Essence of the Lotus Born\, the Dakini’s Whispered Lineage\, the swift path to buddhahood. \nHow marvelous! What fortune to obtain this through the kindness of the guru. It is said to lead to liberation if seen\, heard\, or thought of. If supremely praised as such by the vajra words of truth found in the tantras of true words\, no need to mention if one meditates on its actual meaning. \nWithout looking for buddhahood elsewhere\, the Yangti path can show it directly to you right now. This amazing Dharma! In this existence\, when this incomparable\, peerless wish-fulfilling jewel has been obtained\, don’t search for trinkets. \nAlthough sometimes mistakenly considered to be solely focused on dark retreat\, Yangti Nakpo is in fact an extensive cycle of spiritual trainings spanning the breadth of Tibetan Vajrayana practice. In Tulku Sang-ngag’s Yangti Gomde center\, students are trained in these many practices within the categories of Ngöndro\, kyerim\, dzogrim\, and Dzogchen. In both the old and new revelations of the Yangti Nakpo cycle\, dark retreat is the main emphasis and the primary unique feature of these teachings setting them apart from of Dzogchen cycles. However\, entering into dark retreat does not not happen right away\, if at all. \n  \nThe Yangtik Ngakpo include many texts and practices\, and among them are the following: \n* A Dzogchen guru sadhana\, Kusum Tuktik\, revealed by Chinkar Donyo Dorje \n* A three roots practice of the Hundred peaceful and wrathful deities \n* The Lama and Dakini practices \n* A dark retreat set of instructions \n* Supplemented practical instructions \nRevelation and Propagation of the Terma \n  \nGuru Rinpoche and Yeshé Tsogyal \nThe Yangti Nakpo was brought to Tibet by Guru Rinpoche and hidden as a terma by Yeshé Tsogyal. \nDungtso Repa 'the later' \nIn the 15th century\, it was discovered by Dungtso Repa 'the later' at Lake Mandal Nakpo in the Gampo Region of central Tibet\, who revealed a Dzogchen guru sadhana and a dark retreat instructions. \n  \nChinkar Donyo Dorje \nIn the 19th century\, Chinkar Donyo Dorje\, a contemporary and close Dharma friend of Shabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol\, made further Yangti Nakpo revelations including the guru sadhana\, Kusum Tuktik. At that time however\, he stated the conditions were not right for these additions to the cycle to be disseminated\, and that in his subsequent incarnation he would re-reveal and transmit these teachings. \n  \nTrulshik Dongag Lingpa \nIn the 19th century\, the next incarnation of Chinkar Donyo Dorje was Trulshik Dongak Lingpa\, who made the prophesied re-revelations of the Yangti Nagpo. \n  \nAbout Lama Christopher Wilkinson \nChristopher Wilkinson started his career in the Dharma at the age of 15\, taking refuge vows from his root teacher Dezhung Rinpoche. In the years that followed Dezhung Rinpoche introduced him to Geshe Ngawang Nornang\, Lama Kalu Rinpoche\, Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche\, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche\, and many others. Chris identified with the Rime Non-Sectarian movement from the start. Pursuing a formal education in Tibetan and Sanskrit Languages\, he graduated in 1980 with a BA in Asian Languages and Literature and another BA in Comparative Religion from the University of Washington. After two years of travel around the holy places of Asia\, including time in India and Nepal\, he worked for five years in refugee resettlement in Seattle\, Washington. Wishing to get back into Buddhist Studies\, he went to the University of Calgary\, where he completed his MA in 1988. In 1990 Chris went to Sulawesi Indonesia\, where he served as a professor of English language for three years\, exploring the ancient Sri Vijaya empire. Back in America\, he worked as a Research Associate for the Shelly and Donald Rubin Foundation\, playing a small part in the early development of the Rubin Museum. He then taught as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Calgary for five years. He also became a Research Fellow with the Centre de Recherches sur les Civilisations de l'Asie Orientale\, Collège de France for twelve years. Beginning in 2012 he began to release translations of Tibetan Literature\, beginning with the seven volumes of the Sakya Kongma Series and presently including 30 volumes of Great Perfection Tantras\, and he continues in this effort even now. \n  \nFurther Reading \n* Kunsang\, Erik Pema.
