When: November 13 -December 12, 2009
Where: Galiano Island, BC, Canada, at Bodega Resort.
Meditations on Bodhicitta and Compassion
Lama Mark will be giving a month of teachings focused on awakening Bodhicitta (mind of awakening) and unfolding compassion. Waking up these two “pillars” of Dharma is fundamental for all of us who are growing, searching and unfolding as human beings. The great Yogi Shabkar once said, “although one’s realization of Mind may be great, without compassion the Dharma is rotten.” As well, Lama Mark will teach on Yidam Yoga (Deity Yoga), clearing away misunderstandings, and highlighting how profound a path it is for strengthening Bodhicitta and compassion, and transforming unproductive life patterns. The Empowerments of Four Armed Chenresig and Fierce Guru with Phurba will be bestowed in the retreat. Emphasis will be on individual guidance, group practice sessions and movement-awareness explorations.
