Description
Welcome to Thanyapura Fall 2014 retreat.
This session outlined what will be covered in the retreat. The teachings are based on two texts: Padmasambhavas Natural Liberation, and excerpts from Dudjom Lingpa’s Vajra Essence. The teachings focus on three of the six bardos (living, meditation and dreaming).
Alan describes himself as a dharma chef, serving up a juicy offering. Shamatha is the starting point.
There are 36 people on individual retreats at Thanyapura, but all crew members together - so be considerate to others. Now give up all attachment to this life and devote it to Dharma.
