Composed by the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284–1339), the Aspiration of the Mahāmudrā of Definitive Meaning is one of the great meditation texts of the Kagyu tradition. In a concise series of profound aspiration verses, Rangjung Dorje presents the complete path of Mahāmudrā: the nature of mind, the relationship between appearances and mind, the inseparability of awareness and emptiness, the practices of śamatha and vipaśyanā, and the realization of Mahāmudrā.
Over the course of this weekend, Rinpoche will guide us through this extraordinary text, helping us understand its teachings not simply as Buddhist philosophy, but as instructions for meditation and the direct recognition of the nature of mind.
The weekend will include teachings, meditation, and opportunities to deepen our understanding of Mahāmudrā under the guidance of an authentic lineage holder.
Practitioners of all backgrounds are welcome.
Join us for this precious opportunity to study one of the great Mahāmudrā texts of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and receive direct meditation instruction from Younge Khachab Rinpoche.
