TEST: An Introduction to the Mahamudra

From Alert Concentration to Discovering the Natural Mind of Awakeness & the Empowerment of Manjushri.

Island Dharma presents for you a rich retreat week of teachings and meditations from Lama Mark Webber on the crucial topic and stages of meditations of the Mahamudra. Lama Webber writes: The Mahamudra is the natural unobstructed and non-clinging mode of our minds.

Lama Webber will introduce:

• the view, meditation, and activity of the Path of Mahamudra
• the gradual stages of meditation to discover and effortlessly abide in a calm bright thought-free mind
• the penetrative insight meditations for the realization of this mind nature.

He will also give instructions on building strength and capacity—Merit—on the Path of liberation and awakening.

The retreat will end with the empowerment of Manjushri. These teachings are open to all. Those in full retreat will be able to have check-ins with the Lama.
