Part 1: Mahamudra Elixir: Nature of the Dynamic Mind

This series will focus on key points in Moonbeams of Mahamudra with a special emphasis on mahamudra instructions for practicing with mind's dynamic qualities (aka thoughts, emotions, mind’s expressive power, and display). As with our previous series, each session will include guided meditation, a talk, and discussion on an assigned topic of contemplation from the previous session.

Open to those who have received pointing-out instructions in the Mahamudra tradition, and are practicing mahamudra shamatha-vipashyana meditation.

Prerequisite: Open to those who have received pointing-out instructions in the Mahamudra tradition, and are practicing mahamudra shamatha-vipashyana meditation.

Two quotes from Gampopa:
  • Regard thoughts as necessary. Regard them as a great kindness. Regard them as very dear to your heart. Regard them as indispensable.
  • Some regard blocking every thought as it arises and resting with the mind wrapped up in nonconceptuality as a positive thing. That cannot serve as the path. It will cripple wisdom.
There will be meditation handouts for each class. It is recommended that everyone have a copy of Moonbeams of Mahamudra since there will be recommended readings associated with each class.
