A Practice and Study Community Dedicated to the Teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Welcome to Ocean. Our mission is to further the study and practice of Chögyam Trungpa’s teachings and to nurture community amongst old and new students alike. We are developing both introductory classes and a broad curriculum of in-depth learning, drawing from all aspects of Chögyam Trungpa’s teachings. We are also creating a network of support for all levels of dharma practice, and collaborating with the variety of other initiatives by Chögyam Trungpa’s students furthering his teachings.

The Five Wisdoms in Meditation and Post-meditation
At any level of practice, insight (prajñā or jñāna) into the nature of mind and into the nature of reality plays a crucial role. But if so: What do we really mean here by prajña and jñāna? What is the difference between prajña and jñana? How are prajñā or jñāna experienced, practiced, and realized both in meditation and in post-meditation?
This course will explore the five wisdoms in the context of meditation, post-meditation, and daily life based on the Buddhabhumisutra — the classical Mahayana text on this subject.
Exploring Bodhichitta: Part One
Chögyam Trungpa’s groundbreaking presentation of the Mahayana tradition of lojong—consolidated in the book TRAINING THE MIND—introduces us to the key distinction and interplay between absolute and relative bodhichitta. In two five-week courses, we will use contemplative methods to engage with Atisha’s slogans and Trungpa Rinpoche’s commentary.
This first course (five classes starting November 1), will investigate the five slogans that rouse our connection with ultimate bodhichitta. The relative bodhichitta slogan class will begin in the new year.

Practice sessions happen online
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.
