He presents the Mahamudra teachings as a means of seeing things in\, as he says\, "a positive and open light. Which allows us to become aware in every situation in life and to appreciate our true nature. 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. All donations go to Mindfulness Meditation Centers\, your generosity helps us share the dharma with countless others and empowers our vision of awakening for all.

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. Here are some suggested online sources: \n\nEbay\nDharma Objects Website\nAmazon\n\n*Enrollment for retreat is open to all.

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. (Breakfast\, Lunch\, Dinner) \nDay 14 (September 21\, 2018): Optional off the beaten track sightseeing in and around Kathmandu. Final celebration dinner at the Hyatt.

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.

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. Bring a copy of your results to retreat.\nOn-line (Zoom participants) follow the same retreat schedule as on-site participants.\n\nAttendance & Payments\nAll are requested to sign up prior to the retreat start date. \nAttendance for retreats is by generosity only basis. There is no prescribed fee. Each person is asked to donate according to his/her means and conscience.

Berry Ave.\nDenver\, Colorado 80123 \n\nThe Buddha characterized every aspect of your experience in daily life as “burning.” The Buddha wanted you to feel this burning in your life with all its difficulty\, uncertainty\, and stress\, and for you to realize that this burning is inherent and impersonal. It applies to pleasant and unpleasant phenomena alike. \nAlthough all things in this world are burning\, the Buddha taught that you have a choice to not add fuel to the fire\, to not make the burning personal\, and to not be identified with the burning. In each moment you have a choice to either add fuel in the form of wanting\, aversion\, and ignorance – or not. \nFor your reflection: Observe as objectively as you can the phenomenon of your mind registering something. Are you able to notice that there is a degree of stress or friction just in making the effort? Also observe how often you add the “fuel” of wanting\, aversion\, and ignorance to your life experiences. Be particularly interested in how even in neutral and pleasant circumstances\, you still add this fuel. This is “knowing” the truth of burning\, of the Creation and Completion Stage Tantra. \n\nPayment for retreats is on a donation only basis.  Your generosity is critically important\, and enables MMC to continue its mission to provide teachings and support for our teachers and the necessary technology for the distribution of the dharma.

Vehicle is the method and enlightenment is the result. This method brings the four purities: the enlightenment is the fruition of this purification. These are: complete purity of body\, complete purity of place\, complete purity of enjoyment\, and complete purity of actions. These refer to complete purity of holy body\, holy field\, the holy enjoyment\, and the holy actions \nThe retreat will include an introduction to the way to meditate that achieves the state of pure enlightenment. \nWe purify the place or field by visualizing it as the Mandala or pure realm\, of the deity. \nWe purify our body by visualizing ourselves in the aspect of the holy body of the deity. \nWe purify the enjoyments\, such as material possession\, transforming them into the form of pure offerings. \nWe purify our actions by meditating on them as the aspect of the holy actions of Lord Buddha. \nThis path to enlightenment is practiced through meditations called Creation and Completion. \nWhen the teachings speak of\,  “the great illusory nature of samsara and nirvana”—one is introduced to the fact that\nBuddhas and Bodhisattvas are beings who have mastered illusory appearances. \nPhenomena display themselves like phantom apparitions\, empty yet appearing. Understanding the manner in which the enlightened ones manifest helps to understand the illusory nature of all things within the worldly realms of samsara and nirvana. \nThe essence of mind is pointed out by these teachings as naked awareness\, which actually refers to the unimpeded open transparency of the wisdom mind. While naked awareness is the nature of our minds\, just having this nature is not enough; we need to actualize it for ourselves\, within our own experience. It is for that purpose that we engage in the practice of Yidam Yoga. \nPlease join us for this fascinating overview of the enlightened path of creation and completion. We will offer teachings on the path\, meditations of direct experience\, question and answer for all levels of practice. \nThroughout the retreat we will offer along with the teachings; meditations\, and question & answer time. \nNote:  All practitioners of MMC who wish to make a further commitment to their practice are required to have a minimum daily practice of 60 minutes\, and feel they are ready to increase that commitment. \n•For those MMC students wanting to expand their commitment to dharma by developing a Tantra practice of creation and completion\, this retreat will be part of the requirements needed to join our Saturday morning program of Creation and Completion Stage Tantra. \n*Enrollment for retreatants is open to all. Space is limited and you must sign up to ensure your participation. You may sign up for the The Vehicle of the Result: Vajrayana\, by contacting the following MMC retreat coordinator. \nPayment for retreats is on a donation only basis.  Your generosity is critically important\, and enables MMC to continue its mission to provide teachings and support for our teachers and the necessary technology for the distribution of the dharma.
