The primary aim of the series is to support our exploration and implementation of mahāmudrā vipaśyanā instructions. Using the techniques of vipaśyanā, we can go beyond technique in our own practice to fully recognize what was revealed during the profound pointing-out instructions.

As Saraha says:

Look: mind itself reveals suchness to itself.

Each session will include an introductory talk, guided meditation, and breakout group discussion.

During the intervening two weeks, it is expected that everyone will spend some time delving into the practice instructions.
