Revealing the Ground: A Mahayana Journey for an Age of Materialism

By Donation
Finding freedom and practicing compassion in an illusory world

In this three-week class, we will first look into methods for cutting the karmic chain reactions that bind us in samsara. Next we will explore contemporary approaches that challenge our materialistic assumptions. From there we will investigate techniques for deconstructing mental fabrications and elaborations. Finally, we will learn how recognizing the basic ground dissolves the foundations of duality.

“This is the universal ground of everything: it is the basis of freedom and also the basis of confusion.” VCTR, The Sadhana of Mahamudra

The Teachers

Our teachers bring an ocean of experience to their online classes. Most were trained by the Vidyadhara himself. Each has their own wealth of experience and knowledge, and their own approach towards working with the subject matter and with students. In addition, we are deeply honored that Changling Rinpoche has taught, and will continue to teach on Ocean.
