Buddhist Meditations on Realizing the Naturally Awake State, Queenstown, NZ

April 19, 2008 May 10, 2008 UTC-8

ANNUAL THREE-WEEK MAKARORA RETREAT

Lama Mark will be bestowing the empowerment of Karma Paksi and giving teachings from texts by the great 8th century teacher and yogi, Padmasambhava. There will be individual meditation guidance and group practice sessions. This retreat will be a great opportunity to learn the essence of meditation, mind yoga and some physical movements to bring about peacefulness and bright awakeness. Throughout the course, Lama Mark will point to and instruct on the essence of true meditation; the natural continuum of mindfulness and lucid awareness inherent in every moment, in every one of us. We come to discover, through sustained concentration merged with loving-kindness, a compassionate, vividly aware mind free of mental obstacles and delusions.

The empowerment of White Six-Armed Mahakala will also be given. This is a practice for the discovery of Pristine Awareness, support for meditative practice through richness and power, the dissolution of material and psychological poverty for all beings, and the alchemical transmutation of the life energies.
