The Tantric Meditation on the Unity of Generosity and Wisdom: Golden Zambala Yab-Yum, Galiano Island, BC

Dates: July 7-26th (three-weeks), with one, two and three week options.*

“Generosity- both the act of giving and receiving- is a vital root nourishing all meditative and spiritual growth. Without generosity conjoined with penetrative insight, the fruits of one’s practice, especially meditative concentration are always weak. Zambala is a principle Tantric meditative deity (Yidam) for unfolding the unity of generosity and wisdom and the skill to help others develop this strength. It is a corrective to mental and material impoverishment, so we have abundant energy to fulfill the Path of Liberation and give this gift to others. Generosity is the rapid antidote to attachment, hoarding, stinginess and clinging. We need to unfold a generous mind filled with concentration, exploration, joy, love and awareness; this is a supreme gift to ourselves and all living beings. The more we overcome resistance to giving and receiving beyond what we thought possible, fear and anxiety evaporate and the non-clinging, free and luminous aspect of the mind naturally manifests. Insight or wisdom is gaining a clear and continuous experience of this naturally inherent aspect of mind. In this retreat, through a combination of Empowerments, teachings, daily meditations, body, breath and energy awareness we will begin to discover and unfold the power of generosity which is within all of us.” (Lama Mark)
