B. S. Haldane\, 1927 \nScience seems to rule the modern world - shaping and supporting almost every aspect of our modern technological lives.  We might think of dharma practice and the scientific worldview as opposed\, but dharma practice IS a kind of science.  It is a powerful and systematic means of investigation… a support for understanding and shaping the apparent world.  In addition\, traditional science and dharma practice agree on one profound point:  \n \nreality is not as it seems.\nThis half-day retreat will focus on a handful of scientific “models” (stories) that are relevant to our every experience.  You may have heard some of these mind-boggling ideas mentioned in dharma teachings. \n  \n\nThe spaciousness of matter\nMatter as coagulated energy (E=MC^2)\nThe Seussian mechanics of the senses and brain\nThe fuzzy borders of any “thing”\, especially living beings\nThe behavior of the subatomic world and it’s apparent dependence on being observed\n\n  \nThese scientific stories express some of the scientific community’s best guesses at the nature of reality.  Surprisingly\, the pictures are completely contrary to our intuitive assumptions about the nature of movement and energy\, solidity and matter\, body and experience\, self and other.  They are a call to wake up and look beyond the appearances we take for granted.   \nThe retreat will be aimed at non-scientists and scientists alike with the intention of building familiarity with these theories and the relevant experiments - in service of dharma practice.  Explanations and discussion will be intermixed with contemplations and guided meditations. \nWe will dive into details only as necessary to build confidence… confidence in the shocking juxtaposition between these models and appearances we accept in every moment\, visit http://www.katyhousecleaningtx.com/. This confidence in turn can generate a softening of attachment to apparent reality and a sense of awe and astonishment - Hedawa! \nGary is an avid popular science consumer and has been trained and employed in some of the most sciencey of science places in the land.  He’s also retreated and practiced dharma for some time. \n  \nThis retreat is open to all. Breaks and a short lunch will be included throughout the workshop. \nRegistration:  \nEnrollment for retreat is open to all.

Mythos is a way of understanding the world through metaphor\, in distinction to logos which understands the world through rational thought. Logos is the ruling pattern for most of our world\, expressed in science and technology. Mythos is the realm of art and spirituality. Creative encounter is relationship with the space of mythos. \nAll art\, poetry in particular\, is about communication. Poets find a way to communicate their experience in a form that is recognizable and relatable. They find a way for the energy of the mythic\, metaphoric\, meditative experience to come into form. \n  \nDivine feminine / Divine masculine \nEnergy / Form \nInspiration / Craft \n  \nIn this workshopping retreat we will talk about these relationships. \nWe will talk about process - how to enter into these relationships. \nWe will talk about craft - what skills and tools we can bring to these relationships. \n  \nWe will look very carefully at the many points of connection between creative work and our practice of mindful Awareness. \n  \nSheer Cliff\, Sheer Joy \nHigh blue flight. \nThe condor \nis without companion\, \nat ease in solitary splendor. \nThis winged messenger comes \nfrom one world \n  \nto another: Hear this. \nDelight is yours\, and freedom. \nThe sky is open. \n  \nHeat rises from the canyon floor to lift \nall higher\, higher \n••••••• \n  \nThis poem was written from an experience in nature\, that stayed in my mind\, ripening. \nAt some point the idea of open\, expansive space presented itself and this memory rose. There are images - a sharp steep cliff\, blue sky\, a bird flying in an empty sky\, and others.   Several metaphors are here - condor as messenger\, heat as inspiration\, sky as holder of delight and joy\, and others.   The overarching metaphor may be that the open space of awareness is a place of liberation. \nThe Friday session will be introductory and inspirational. We’ll offer a framework to think about poetry in some fresh ways. Everyone is invited to bring a poem\, by another poet\, which speaks to them in some way.

We will be offering the special opportunity to Path 2 Members to participate in this rare and precious retreat. This immersive retreat offers completion stage practices from the Dzogchen Lineage\, that lead to direct enlightenment when practiced as instructed. Please read to the end of the email to see necessary requirements.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVajra indicates an adamantine hardness\, diamond-like\, and signifies the power of illumination. Invoking Bodhisattva Vajragarbha empowers one to breakthrough any forms of avidya\, or ignorance. Garbha indicates “womb” or spiritual receptacle. Thus\, the invocation also keeps one safe within the Dharma-womb of the Sugata. The invincible and irresistible Diamond Storehouse is the source of great spiritual satisfaction and protection—a vast reservoir housing the very best of what the Tathatic-Spirit can offer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWithin the Vajrayana this Bodhisattva is known as the “thunderbolt-matrix”\, a most wrathful form as the great destroyer of all illusion:\nOnly when all manifestation has been negated\nWill the clear light truly dawn\nOnly when attachments have been blasted\nCan we see what lies behind illusion\nOnly when experience and personality become irrelevant\nCan we know what we really are\nI may be both savior and destroyer\, tyrant and servant.\nI open the gates to liberation\nIf you cling to nothing\, and wish only release from the traps of Maya\nCall upon me\, and my power may crash you open\nThat you may become Truth\nAnd freedom unending.\nIn such vein\, in this sutra thus invoking adamantine bodhipower restores the innate knowlege and capacity of the original essence----\ngoing back to the fundamental\, primordial-principle; returning to the root-Mind-Source. \nThe Source of Vajragarbha \n \nThis 30 Day Retreat is a rare and precious opportunity to immerse oneself in the heart of spiritual exploration and meditation practices of enlightenment. These timeless teachings come to us from the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition of Dzogchen and have been passed down in an unbroken lineage for over 14 centuries. Experiential instructions nakedly reveal the innate freedom of being\, allowing us to bask in the radiant\, spacious expanse of Awareness\, fully present in every moment\, through every circumstance. \nLed by Michael Gregory\, instructions will be given to practice the inner heat of the 6 Yogas of Naropa. Inner heat meditation serves as the basis for sacred sexual union (karmamudra)\, Clear Light\, Illusory Body\, Dream Yoga\, Bardo Yoga and Consciousness Transference (Phowa) which are the final Completion Stage Meditations that are necessary for complete Enlightenment \nPrerequisites: \nThe 2019 30 day All Creating Sovereign Retreat\, must be completed before attending this retreat.

The mind-training meditation practices contained in the Dzogchen Great Perfection tradition of Tibetan Buddhism will be presented in this very special weekend contemplative retreat. This retreat will be led by former monk\, Buddhist teacher and Director of Mindfulness Meditation Centers\, Michael Gregory. \nThe main instruction\, “Liberation Steps\,” will be of great interest to Western practitioners\, since its instructions are pithy and direct\, and experiential rather than scholarly. \nThe contemplations on core Buddhist principles like impermanence and karma\, intended for beginning meditators\, unfold as dramatic stories in which the meditator is to vividly imagine himself or herself as the main character who undergoes a sequence of experiences that result in transformative realizations. \nThey distill the most essential teachings of the Buddha into a practical system that can be easily implemented in a daily meditation practice. At the same time\, they bring together the most foundational Buddhist teachings with the profound methods of Buddhist tantra. This is the hallmark of Dzogchen mind training and what sets it apart from other lineages. \nThis Weekend retreat will be interspersed with fundamental meditation practices and much time will be reserved for focused and illuminating questions and answers sessions. \nParticipants are asked to dress in comfortable\, loose-fitting (e.g. yoga) clothing and have a mirror available (full-length preferable). \nEnrollment:\nAll are welcome.  Space is limited and you must sign up to ensure your participation.\nPlease register at the bottom of this page \nIf you have any questions you can contact the retreat coordinator Margie or Troy at: coretreatsupport@mindfulnessmeditationcenters.com \nThis retreat will be offered by suggested donation\, this allows for us to support the costs of running the retreat\, the sharing and distribution of the teachings and the support of our community as whole. \nMMC Path 2 Members: $200\nNon Members: $400 \nMindfulness Meditation Centers is a non-profit center and community devoted to making meditation\, mindfulness\, and the teachings of awakening available to all. \nOnline Attendance:\nThis retreat will be streamed live through our online Zoom classroom.

Divorced from these\, mindfulness cannot be said to be a path to liberation. It is clear-comprehension (or clear-knowing\, sampajañña (Pāli)) in particular that differentiates unwise mindfulness from wise mindfulness\, and unwise concentration from wise concentration. Far from a dull or bare attention\, clear-comprehension is an energetic quality of mind that gives rise to vivid clarity. \nIn this retreat we'll use the Mahasatipatthana Sutta\, the discourse on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness\, to see how sampajañña transforms our experience of the Foundations into an immediate and direct experience of liberation. \nWe'll focus to recognize the quality of Divine Feminine – the innate wisdom that is clear-knowing – within the Four Foundations and ultimately see that this wisdom is not a dry knowing but rather the womb that gives birth to compassion and simultaneously arises as compassion\, never separated from it. \nThis retreat is open to all. The retreat hours will be 9:00 AM–4:00 PM EST — Sangha-Wide Remote\, offered via Zoom and in person at Varjragarbha Retreat Center\, Palmetto\, FL. \nEnrollment for retreat is open to all. From respect for the teacher and the dharma\, please sign up to confirm your participation.

Hatha Yoga was developed to help yogis realize the mind-body connection; to help us sit with more ease during their meditation postures\, to help align the body for alertness and to keep energy flowing effortlessly. As meditators\, one hinderance to longer sits or being on the floor as opposed to a chair\, is physical discomfort. Our hips are home to roughly 17 muscles that affect our low back\, knees and the hips themselves. Our hips are also an attachment hub for many of our other muscles so therefore\, targeting hip stretches is a great way to open up or liberate the pelvis so we can sit with more ease and for longer. \nThis half day workshop will help you target your body’s specific needs\, help you find and work towards a stable sitting base and show you some therapeutic ways to work on loosening the hips\, hamstrings\, psoas and other muscles surrounding the pelvis. \nMaterials needed: Yoga mat\, 1-2 folded blankets or towels\, 1 yoga strap (or belt)\, 1-2 tennis balls; enough wall space to lie on the ground and put your legs up the wall and enough space to be able to separate your legs 90 degrees in each direction while against the wall. \nCan also be done from a chair. Still need a strap\, wall space and tennis balls. \nRegistration and Preparation: \nEnrollment for retreat is open to all. To register for this retreat email Troy or Margie\, coretreatsupport@mindfulnessmeditationcenters.com and please contact the instructor ahead of time\, if possible\, for a brief 5-10 min interview to discuss any physical limitations: katietirttha@gmail.com or 727-542-6626. \nRetreat Time: 1 pm to 5 pm EST; 12 pm to 4 pm CST; 11 am to 3 pm MST; 10 am to 2pm PST. \nPayment for retreat is on a donation only basis.

To engage in its profound methods of the practice of Mahamudra is an experience of our mind that’s completely free\, spacious and joyful\, no matter what our life brings us. It points us to mind’s true wisdom nature. \nThis is a way of understanding the mind of enlightenment which is rich in qualities that bring us boundless happiness\, insight\, and a corresponding desire to help our world. \nThis practice relies on key instructions of the Mahamudra lineage imparted to us through a trusted and highly practiced teacher. \nThese ancient lineage instructions on enlightenment have been handed down from teacher to student for the past few thousand years. Michael received these from his teachers when he a Buddhist monk and has led many retreats on this subject for the last 25 years. \nThis retreat offers a unique opportunity to receive these instructions and with a sincere interest in working with them\, we have a good chance of understanding and realizing Mahamudra wisdom. \nThere will be tea\, lunch and dinner breaks between sessions. \nPlease email Davita if you have schedule conflicts or if you have other questions\, contact retreat coordinator: \nDavitamoodley@gmail.com \nEnrollment is open to all\, however space is limited for this retreat.

Fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain\, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion. In these ways\, Bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all. \nGeshe Sonam Rinchen wrote The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas in the fourteenth century. His succinct and simple verses of advice summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path to perfection. \nGen-la Michael’s oral teachings elucidate these practices for the modern Dharma practitioner and show how we can transform our actions\, feelings\, and ways of thinking to become Bodhisattvas ourselves. \nEveryone will need accessories for this retreat...A bag of rice\, an apron and a plate. For Vajrayana practitioners - please purchase a mandala set from a local Nepali or Tibetan shop or go online. Two plates are needed.

LIVING WISDOM Series \nRelationship Alchemy~Part 1 \nSaturday November 2\, 2019 — 9:30 am—4:30 pm \nLed by Davita Moodley \nPalmetto MMC Retreat Center\, 4310 61St E. Palmetto\, FL \nRelationships can either be an obstacle on the spiritual path or the key to awakening. When we play out uncon- scious patterns and archetypal identities in relationships\, we bind others and ourselves to suffering. \nIn this experiential retreat\, we will first focus on bringing awareness to how relationships serve as the mirror for our conduct\, mirroring our thoughts\, speech and actions. When shining the light of awareness on the unconscious mind we illuminate its shadow nature\, freeing us to joyfully reflect the highest intentions of compassion\, loving kindness\, openness and equanimity. \nYou will learn how the 5 Love and Relationship Archetypes drive your behavior\, emotions and intimate relationship patterns\, including fears of abandonment\, commitment issues\, jealousy and control patterns\, infidelity and more. \nThrough direct experience gain a deeper understanding of these unconscious patterns; then using guided hypnosis\, mindfulness meditations\, written and group discussions we will create a sacred space for transformation. This is relationship alchemy. \nWhether you are currently in a relationship with a partner or simply wish to liberate painful repetitive patterns directed towards yourself or others\, learn to recognize\, transform and integrate unconscious patterns through awareness. Once an obstacle on the path to freedom and love\, the shadow now becomes the very heart of our awakening. \nRelationship Alchemy is recommended for any individual wishing to develop a heartfelt connection to themselves\, bringing greater understanding\, love and awareness to all relationships. \nAbout the teacher—Combining mindfulness-based hypnotherapy with archetypal therapy\, long time meditation practitioner\, Davita Moodley\, who is married to Michael Gregory\, teaches students and clients how to bring love\, awareness and wisdom to relationships as a vehicle of transformation and awakening. \no \nThis one day retreat is being offered by donation - generosity only and is open to all. A $50 - $100 donation is suggested for the day or you may donate as you wish.

Fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain\, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion. In these ways\, Bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all. \nGeshe Sonam Rinchen wrote The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas in the fourteenth century. His succinct and simple verses of advice summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path to perfection. \nGen-la Michael’s oral teachings elucidate these practices for the modern Dharma practitioner and show how we can transform our actions\, feelings\, and ways of thinking to become Bodhisattvas ourselves. \nEveryone will need accessories for this retreat: a bag of rice\, an apron\, and a plate. For Vajrayana practitioners - please purchase a mandala set from a local Nepali or Tibetan shop or go online. Two plates are needed.

Everest to Kathmandu\, Nepal September 8th-22nd\, 2019 \nThis is definitely\, a positively\, life-altering experience\, truly the experience of a lifetime. Michael 🙏 \nThe Itnerary and Overview: We'll begin in Chengdu\, one of China's most exciting and progressive cities. Our journey ends in Nepal's ancient city of Kathmandu\, nestled at 4600 feet in the Himalayan foothills. In between\, we visit Lhasa home of the exquisite Jokhang temple and majestic Potala Palace\, Gyantse\, Shigatse\, Everest Base Camp and then take the rough\, twisting road down into Kathmandu. \nDistinct from a luxury vacation or sightseeing tour\, our journey is meant as an immersion into the Buddhist worldview\, a contemplative pilgrimage — providing an 'opportunity of a lifetime' to connect directly with the Tibetan tradition. Throughout our journey\, we will experience Tibet's culture as we explore the variety of ways in which Buddhist practitioners express themselves. Prepare to enter the stream of countless pilgrims who have traveled to Lhasa over hundreds of years to circumambulate\, pray\, meditate\, make offerings\, and receive blessings at these venerated monuments imbued with power and meaning. \nLeadership: Michael Gregory is the Director of Mindfulness Meditation Centers throughout the US. He has led hundreds of meditation retreats on almost every subject matter related to Dharma\, in addition to leading meditative pilgrimages throughout Thailand\, Tibet\, Bhutan\, Nepal\, and India. This will be the 6th expedition that he has led across Tibet. \nMichael was ordained as a monk in the Thai Forest tradition\, the Burmese Mahasi tradition\, and then was ordained in the Tibetan tradition by H.E. Gylatsab Rinpoche at Rumtek monastery in Sikkim. He has practiced in the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah\, the Anapanasati tradition of Buddhadassa Bhikku\, and the Jhana traditions of Mahasi Sayadaw and Pa Auk\, as well as extensive experience in the Tibetan tradition. \nMichael is appreciated for a teaching style that de-centralizes the role of a guru\, institutional spirituality\, as well as the usage of rites and rituals. He encourages every being to empower themselves by finding the pure and unlimited potential of this very moment. \nTibet Guide: Pemba Tashi is HHT's principal Tibetan trekking and pilgrimage guide. His extensive mountain and trail experience combines with his easy humor and an ability to help explain many complex cultural and Buddhist–oriented subjects to travelers. He is an ideal interpreter of this ancient and fascinating mountain region. \nMindfulness Meditation Pilgrimage Sunday Sept. 8-22\, 2019 (from Chengdu to Kathmandu) \n• Day–To–Day Itinerary Detail And Direct Link: \nhttp://www.hightreks.com/HHT_Itin_MMT_2019.PDF \nPre-trip Days: Fly to our meeting point in Chengdu\, China. Travelers from the Americas 'lose' one day crossing the international date line. If you wish to arrive early\, with advance notice we can arrange an early airport transfer and accommodations. Please note that you must arrive in Chengdu\, China by September 7\, 2018. \nDay 1 (September 8\, 2018): Group arrival day in Chengdu\, China. Our staff will wait for your arrival outside the secured area of the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport — after you collect your luggage and proceed through China customs. Look for our guide holding a sign that says "Himalayan High Treks." You will transfer to your hotel for check-in. \nChengdu\, at only 1\,640 feet of altitude\, is the capital of the Sichuan province\, located in southwest China. It's known as the 'land of abundance'\, the hometown of the Giant Panda\, the city of Brocade\, and Sichuan cuisine. \nYou'll enjoy an early dinner at an excellent Sichuan restaurant and catch-up on your rest after your long travel to China. Overnight at Tibet Hotel\, Chengdu. (Dinner) \nDay 2 (September 9\, 2019): Following breakfast\, enjoy a full day in Chengdu. We first visit the world's largest park for the giant panda — with more than 150 giant pandas. It is a 40-minute drive to reach the park\, located in the north side of the city. Enjoy two to three hours at the center\, strolling through its bamboo forest\, with an early lunch at a Sichuan hotpot restaurant. \nWenshu Temple (also called Manjushri Temple) is one of China's most-famous and best-preserved Buddhist temples. It is found in a unique place in downtown where people relax in their spiritual world within a solemn and holy place. \nWe also walk through city streets to visit People's Park for a glimpse of Chengdu's daily life. Enjoy a local Tai Chi class. After an early dinner\, enjoy an evening at the Shufeng Yayun Teahouse. Arrive early (by about 7:30) for the 8:00 p.m. show\, a one-of-a-kind cultural performance including acrobats\, dancers\, and puppets that continues for an hour and a half before we return to the hotel for another early night. Overnight at Tibet Hotel\, Chengdu. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 3 (September 10\, 2019): Today after breakfast we will transfer to the airport and fly to Lhasa Gonggar Airport\, located at 11\,713 feet — over 10\,000 feet higher than Chengdu. Your acclimatization begins upon arrival! Our flight time should be about 2.5 hours. We will be met on arrival to transfer 50 miles in about one hour to our hotel and check-in. You will have free time to rest or explore before dinner. The hotel is in the middle of the city and centrally located so taking a walk around is a good possibility just don’t overdo it. Ideally\, you should drink lots of fluid and rest. Overnight Tsetang Hotel (four-star) at 10\,170 ft. (Breakfast\, Dinner) \nDay 4 (September 11\, 2019): Our first days at high altitude will involve only gentle touring and exploration. First\, we visit Tsedang and then continue with a scenic drive to the first monastery in Tibet—Samye Monastery. Continue on to Lhasa (11\,995 ft) with a total drive time of three to four hours and check in at Shangri-La Hotel (five-star) and later enjoy a special buffet dinner at the hotel. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 5 (September 12\, 2019): After breakfast this morning\, we will visit Drepung Monastery (literally "Rice Heap" Monastery). Drepung is the largest of all Tibetan monasteries and is located on the Gambo Utse mountain\, five kilometers from Lhasa. It was founded in 1416 by Jamyang Choge Tashi Palden (1397–1449). It was known for the high standards of its academic study and was called the Nalanda of Tibet\, a reference to the great Buddhist monastic university of India. \nAfter lunch\, we visit the Sera Monastery ("Wild Roses Monastery"). It is one of the "great three" Gelug University monasteries of Tibet\, found two kilometers north of Lhasa. Sera Monastery is a complex of structures with the Great Assembly Hall and three colleges\, founded in 1419 by Jamchen Chojey (1355–1435). During the 1959 revolt in Lhasa\, Sera Monastery suffered severe damage but was later restored. In 2011\, according to local sources\, there were about 300 monks in residence. We later return to our hotel with dinner on your own. Overnight Shangri-La Hotel. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 6 (September 13\, 2019): Today we explore Lhasa including the Jokhang Temple and the majestic 13-story\, 1\,000-room Potala Palace. Tibetans\, in general\, consider Jokhang Temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. Jokhang is run by the Gelug school\, but worshipers from all Buddhist sects visit the temple. The oldest part of the temple was built in 652 by Songtsen Gampo. \nDuring the Cultural Revolution in 1966\, Red Guards attacked the Jokhang and for a decade there was no worship in Tibetan monasteries. Renovation of the Jokhang began in 1972 and was mostly complete by 1980. Its architectural style is a mixture of Indian\, Tibetan\, and Nepalese design.\nPotala Palace is named after Mount Potalaka\, the mythical abode of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. The 5th Dalai Lama started its construction in 1645 after one of his spiritual advisers\, Konchog Chophel\, suggested that the site was ideal as a seat of government — situated as it is between Drepung and Sera monasteries and the old city of Lhasa. It is thought to overlay the remains of an earlier fortress called the White or Red Palace\, built by Songtsän Gampo in 637. The external structure was built in three years\, while the interior\, together with its furnishings\, took 45 years to complete. The Potala Palace became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Overnight Shangri-La Hotel. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 7 (September 14\, 2019): Day trip to Drigung Thil (14\, 649 feet) about 75 miles north-east of Lhasa. Founded in 1179 traditionally Drigung Thil Monastery was the main seat of the Drikung Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery was destroyed in 1959 but has been partially rebuilt. Approximately 250 monks are in residence. Note: the monastery can be visited for sure but the burial site cannot be guaranteed as it depends on local permission. We will try our best to include it. It is said that bodies dispatched here will not fall down into the “ three bad regions." Drive back to Lhasa and overnight Shangri-La Hotel (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 8 (September 15\, 2019): This morning after breakfast we will drive about four hours to Gyantse. On the way\, we'll stop at Yamdrok Lake (at 14\,570 feet)\, one of the three large sacred lakes in Tibet. It is over 45 miles long and surrounded by snow-capped mountains. According to local mythology\, Yamdok Yumtso Lake is the transformation of a goddess.\nAround 56 miles to the west of the lake lies the Tibetan town of Gyantse. We then visit the visit Phalkhor monastery and the Kumbum Stupa\, designed by Newari architects from Nepal. The Phalkhor has a special influence over Buddhism in Tibet\, owing to its unity of Gelugpa\, Sakyapa and Bhutan sects. The Kumbum is truly incredible. \nGyantse Dzong (or Gyantse Fortress) is one of Tibet's best-preserved dzongs\, perched high above Gyantse on a huge outcrop of grey-brown rock. The fortress was constructed in 1390 to guard the southern approaches to the Tsangpo Valley and Lhasa. The town was surrounded by a wall almost two miles long\, with an entrance on its eastern side.\nAfter our visit we check-in at our hotel for overnight and enjoy dinner. Overnight Gyantse Hotel (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 9 (September 16\, 2019): Today after breakfast\, we drive first to Shalu Monastery founded in 1040 by Chetsun Sherab Jungnay. For centuries it was renowned as a center of scholarly learning and is still known for its wonderful mural paintings\, considered to be the most ancient and beautiful in Tibet. Shalu was the first of the major monasteries to be built by noble families of the Tsangpa during Tibet's great revival of Buddhism and was an important center of the Sakya tradition. Continue about an hour to Shigatse (12\,800 feet). The Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was founded in 1447 by the 1st Dalai Lama and is a historic and culturally important monastery in Shigatse\, the second-largest city in Tibet. The monastery was sacked when the Gorkhas invaded Tibet and captured Shigatse in 1791 before a combined Tibetan and Chinese army drove them back to the outskirts of Kathmandu\, Nepal. Located on a hill in the city center\, the full monastery name in Tibetan means "all fortune and happiness gathered here" or "heap of glory." \nTashi Lhunpo founder Gedum Drup was later recognized as the first Dalai Lama. The main statue of this monastery is the Maitreya Buddha made from 600 pounds of gold and measuring eight feet in height. It at one time housed over 4\,000 monks and had four Tantric colleges each with its own Abbot. In 1960\, the monastery was dismantled by the Chinese army\, although less damage was inflicted on this monastery than on others around Tibet. During the 1960s\, many senior lamas and monastics left Tibet and helped re-establish monasteries in India\, Nepal and Bhutan. The late Panchen Lama did not leave Tibet and consequently many of the senior lamas from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery remained inside Tibet. \nA Ngang morning chanting ceremony accompanied by sacred musical instruments is led by the few remaining monks of the temple. Pilgrims may circumambulate the hall but travelers and photographers should be extremely sensitive to the sacred atmosphere. We will check-in st our hotel and enjoy dinner. Overnight Tashi Choeda Hotel (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 10 (September 17\, 2019) Drive to Shegar via Sakya Monastery and Gyatso La Pass the highest point on your trip at 17218 ft. After driving about 90 miles in three hours we reach the monastery. It is the seat of the Sakya (or Sakyapa) school of Tibetan Buddhism founded in 1073\, by Konchok Gyelpo. Sakya’s powerful abbots governed Tibet during the 13th and the 14th centuries. After a couple hours of driving brings us to Shegar we can stop to visit the fort depending on how everyone is feeling. Shegar is also known as New Tingri as it is a recently built town. None of its accommodations are particularly nice. Overnight Shegar Hotel. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 11 (September 18\, 2019): Today the drive is about seven hours total. Along the way\, you’ll cross two passes: Tsuo La (14\,760 feet) and Lhakpa La (17\,121 feet). You’ll visit a Tibetan village along the way\, pass farms and continue on to Chomolungma (Everest) National Park headquarters. The gray\, gold and red strips seen on many houses indicate each family’s devotion to the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Drive to Everest Base Camp. Note: we’ll sent up at Tibetan style tent at Tingri overlooking the mountains where we can drink hot tea and meditate. Overnight at Snow Leopard Guest House in Old Tingri (This is the most basic "hotel" on our journey. Be prepared to rough it.) (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 12 (September 19\, 2019): Drive to Kyirong in about five hours. Continue on the Friendship highway for about one hour and 40 minutes\, then turn right towards Peigu Tso lake with spectacular views of Shishapangma (26\,289 ft.) on the left side. After another hour enjoy a view of Peigutso lake and Khangpongchen. Continue through a small valley towards Gongtang la (pass) and continue down hill to Kyirong valley (Mangyul )to reach Zongkar county. Then drive down to Lower Kyirong valley. With luck we'll see the sacred Mt. Riwopelpar and some of Milarepa's caves (Zong). Continue on to reach Kyirong at about 9000 ft. Check in and overnight at Phuntsok Rabsal Hotel\, Kyirong. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 13 (September 20\, 2019): Borderlands. After breakfast\, bid a fond goodbye to your Tibetan guide and driver and begin Chinese immigration formalities. Once complete\, you will travel downhill to a bridge to cross at Kyirong to the Nepal side of the border. (The old border crossing at Zhangmu was closed after the Nepal earthquakes in 2015.) Kyirong is a new border crossing which opened in 2017. You should arrive in Nepal at about 10:00 AM\, Nepal time. Here you will be welcomed by our Nepal drivers and transferred by four-wheel drive vehicles to Kathmandu. It’s a rough but scenic five-hour drive as you pass many waterfalls\, valleys and lush fields along the way to Kathmandu. Overnight Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kathmandu. Free time on arrival.

This retreat offers a blueprint to path and purpose\, illuminating the Buddha's beautiful path of transcendence over suffering and destructive emotions\, and awakening life's process to one of perfect enlightenment! This retreat will be instructed by Michael Gregory\, former Buddhist Monk and Director of Mindfulness Meditation Centers. \nTransformational\, heart opening teachings and rare and precious practices will be offered on the Buddhist teachings of Loving Kindness\, The Six Perfections and Non Duality. \nThe Six Perfections are practiced by those who have the supreme intention of attaining enlightenment for the sake of others. These six are 'perfections' because they give rise to complete enlightenment. \nMichael will break down the teachings conveniently into practical and modern terms\, while never letting us forget that the point of all Dharma is nothing other than insight into the mind and heart. \nGuided meditations and rare and specific practices and teachings will be given in this retreat\, offering a complete guide to transformation of unconscious habitual patterns into enlightenment through the practice of the six perfections. \nBenefits of Practice: \nGenerosity leads to the enjoyment of ample resources\, ethical discipline gives a good rebirth\, patience leads to an attractive appearance and supportive companions\, enthusiastic effort endows the ability to complete what is undertaken\, fostering concentration makes the mind invulnerable to distraction\, and wisdom discriminates between what needs to be cultivated and what must be discarded and leads to greater wisdom in the future. \nPractice of the 6 Perfections insures the attainment of an excellent body and mind in the future and even more favorable conditions for effective practice than those we enjoy at present. \nThis weekend will also intersperse fundamental meditation practices\, with ample time reserved for questions and answers. \nDiscover how the loving practice and experience of generosity\, ethical discipline\, patience\, enthusiastic effort\, concentration\, and wisdom can lead to inner awakening. \nSchedule: \nFriday August 23: 7 -

That Sutra is the Prajnaparamita\, called the second turning of the wheel of dharma. To transform the ignorance of ordinary mind to the mind of perfect wisdom\, it’s essential to penetrate the deepest meaning of this teaching. The condensed form of this series of sutras is called the Heart Sutra. \nThe Buddha taught 100\,000 verses of Sutra to expound on the (Buddha’s) understanding of the wisdom of his mind. In these verses he clearly described his perfect view of reality\, “the way things are”. The most famous teaching arises from his perfection in the “Heart Sutra”\, describing the pure essence of this perfect vision of reality in just 100 verses. \nPlease join us as we take an unusual and deep dive in to one of the most mysterious and rarely presented teachings on the nature of reality. We will learn how to apply this instruction to every experience of life and mind. To fully understand the nature of reality is to fully understand the nature of mind\, the mind of pure awareness. \nPerfection is not something you attain it is the discovery of your true nature. \n*Enrollment for retreat is open to all. Space is limited and you must sign up to ensure your participation. You may sign up for the HEART SUTRA by visiting https://mindfulnessmeditationcenters.com/event/heart-sutra-the-purpose-of-life-colorado-zoom-phillip-hedrick/. \nRetreat fee for the Heart Sutra in Colorado. is $400.00 for non-members\, and $200.00 for sustaining Path 2 members.

The Tantric practitioner chooses to confront bewildering and chaotic forces of confusion\, fear\, aggression\, desire\, and pride and work with these forces in such a way that they are channeled into creative expression\, loving relationships and wisely engaged forms of life. \nBy illuminating the richly symbolic language of tantra through the intermediate language of psychology\, students will be made aware of the compelling link between a Western tradition that harkens back to the transformative traditions of our own past and the comparably ancient strategies of Buddhist tantric practices. \nKeeping with the pragmatic and therapeutic aims of both psychotherapy and Buddhist meditation\, practitioners will be asked to integrate the importance of applying these ideas to the concrete realities of day- to- day life. \nThis experiential retreat led by MMC’s Director\, Michael Gregory\, offers contemporary practitioners with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the nature and practice methods of tantric meditation. \nParticipants are requested to bring an image of a yidam currently used in their practice or to bring an image of a Buddha that is meaningful to them. \nRetreat Course Prerequisites:\n\nThis retreat is restricted to students with a serious meditation practice\, with prior retreat experience and background in Emptiness\, Mahamudra or Dzogchen practices.\nAttendees have completed the online PMAI Archetype test and have an understanding of the Archetypes represented.
