Starting Sept. 17, 2025
Five sessions: every other Wednesday, Sept 17, Oct 1, 15, 29, and Nov. 12, at 7:00 pm Eastern.
Prerequisites: having received pointing-out instructions in the Mahamudra tradition and practicing mahamudra shamatha-vipashyana meditation. If you did not participate in Elixir I (parts 1 and 2), it is highly recommended that you listen to those talk recordings and do the readings and meditations before Elixir II begins.
Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje
[Mind-itself] is empty in essence yet clear in nature,
and its manifestations appear unimpededly as anything at all.
Saraha
All appearances and sounds are like illusions,
mirages, and reflections: they have no real characteristics.
The perceiver of illusions is mind-itself, space.
There will be handouts for each session but it is recommended that everyone have a copy of Moonbeams of Mahamudra, translated by Elizabeth.
There will be no assigned discussion topic for the first session.
