This five-day retreat will present the Mahayana Seven Points of Mind Training, to lay out a path of formal meditation practice, accompanied by guidelines for extending that practice into everyday life.
These teachings are precious and unique in presenting the entire depth and breadth of the Buddha’s Mahayana teachings succinctly and practically. Mahayana mind training offers an approach to life that is straightforward, grounded in sanity, kindness, and compassion. Yet it also offers a vision that completely transcends our ordinary way of viewing ourselves and others, with an all-encompassing vision of enlightenment.
Mahayana mind training helps us give expression to our enlightened heart in everything we think, say and do. The training particularly focuses on our relationships, which are like a mirror that shows us exactly where we are at. Our relationships also provide us with a way to dissolve the limitations that prevent the vastness of our true nature from fully manifesting.
