A practical exploration of Buddhist teachings on death, dying and relating with the groundlessness of life.

Continuing study of the Scorpion Seal 10 Teachings

This course has videos of two talks by the Sakyong from Scorpion Seal Assembly 8 at Karmê Chöling in May 2016, plus four recorded talks by Ashe Acharya John Rockwell, with two additional live sessions with Acharya Rockwell. There are readings and contemplations for each talk.

We could say that the entire Shambhala Art teachings are about a process of an ever-widening and deepening of what it means to “See Things as They Are.” At this stage seeing things as they are is about capitalizing on what we have experienced in Part 1, where seeing things as they are meant to slow down and see things clearly. In this section, seeing things as they are means now that we can see clearly we can see the nature of experience. That includes both our felt sense of things and our thought sense of things working together and in a particular order.

In this course, there will be discussion and practice based on this classic by Dagpo Tashi Namgyal (1511 – 1587), who was one of the teachers of the Eighth Karmapa Mikyo Dorje, and author of the long text Moonbeams of Mahamudra, as well as texts on the Six Yogas.

Emphasizing core Buddhist teachings and the natural world, this course helps reveal the magic and wonder of the world.

Fearlessness in Everyday Life mixes meditation with the vastness of space beyond concept. Through an exploration of the Buddhist teachings of emptiness and clear seeing, we open to the groundlessness, uncertainty and creativity of the world as it is. By exploring the entrapping emotions of hope and fear, we learn to soar fearlessly.

Acharya Eve Rosenthal guides us through this course on cultivating a gentle and friendly relationship with our every day lives. Through talks, guided meditation, contemplation, and discussion, we gain understanding and experience of unconditional contentment as well as exploring the obstacles and challenges to experiencing simplicity and nowness. This course is beneficial to new and experienced meditators alike.
