For many householders in the West, Vajrayana practices can feel out of reach. While we may love the values and the deep potential of the tradition, it can be difficult to weave the meditations into our own everyday perceptions and experiences.
How do we make these practices our own while fully respecting the blessings of the lineage?
When we came together around this topic last June, we explored the role of intention, the power of the fruitional view, and how to “find your juice.” This time we’re going to lean into themes like fundamental well-being, the power of sacred outlook, and the dynamic tension between faith and not-knowing.
Again, we’ll lean into our own experience of nearly three decades of dharma practice and the three-year retreat we experienced under the guidance of Lama Drubgyu and Mingyur Rinpoche, completed in the summer of 2023.
We look forward to practicing with you, as we find out together how depth practice can continue to thrive in these times.
A selection of soups, salads, and bread will be available in the lobby during the noon break, with tables set up so that we can eat together. Come nourish yourself, stay warm, and relax in the company of other participants. This lunch is both a fundraiser for KSC and an opportunity to enjoy casual interaction with the sangha. A donation of $15 is suggested, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
