Intro To Vajrayana
Compassion is the foundation of all Vajrayana Buddhist practice and also its goal. Vajrayana is a rich and complex tradition that works with the subtle energies of the body and the imagination as a means of actualizing compassionate activity that is inseparable from non-dual, non-conceptual knowing.
This retreat includes both intellectual as well as experiential learning. Intellectually, participants will learn a brief history and the theoretical basis of the Vajrayana. Experientially, participants will explore traditional compassion meditations that seek to radically expand one’s perception of one’s self and one’s world.
