 Summer Meditation Retreat: Aspiring and Entering the Bodhisattva Path with Melissa Moore June 8 / 8:30 AM - June 14 / 6:00 PM
SAVE THE DATE FOR THE SUMMER MEDITATION RETREAT!
This week we will transverse the terrain of the path of a bodhisattva. Each day we will cultivate our relationship being of benefit to ourselves and to others by personally investigating one of the 6 paramitas, the vehicles by which we cross over the great divide of human suffering. When we aspire to help others, the bodhisattva engages and enters and knows how to go forward and be of benefit. This week will offer an honest and kind container of inquiry of what it means to be a bodhisattva warrior in this time in Shambhala.
In this 7-day urban meditation retreat, we will engage the practice of mindfulness-awareness meditation.
Acharya Melissa Moore, Ph.D. is the founding Executive Director of Karuna (Compassion) Training, a 3-year certificate in Contemplative Psychology that occurs in seven Countries. She has dedicated her life to the Shambhala lineage and to practice and study of the Buddhadharma, and studied with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche since 1979.
Prerequisites This retreat is open to all, and there are no prerequisites.
Attendance We ask that you take one paramitas fully and not disturb the container by coming and going. So, we are admitting participation one full practice day at a time; from 9 AM to 6 PM. And each day will count toward practice requirements.
This retreat will meet the requirements for a weekthun.
There will be an opportunity to take Bodhisattva Vows on Friday, June 14th. If you are planning on taking Bodhisattva Vows, you are advised to meet well in advance with your meditation instructor to discuss the process and prerequisites for this important commitment. More information to come.
Registration Please register and pay online in advance of the program so that we know to expect you. Also, advance registrants will receive important communications with details prior to the program.
