Yoga for Anyone:
Simplicity and the
Path of Buddhist Mantra
Dec. 28, 2012-Jan. 4, 2013
Those who have done only sitting meditation will benefit by first incorporating easy, then more advanced, yoga postures to regain flexibility. Rinpoche's teachings will focus on Buddhist training for the overly busy mind and other methods to bless ourselves with the joy of simplicity. For the benefit of more advanced students, we will delve into a deeper understanding of the dynamics of mantra. A Green Wisdom Light initiation and the Rainbow Purification practice will be given.

Becoming Skillful in
Medicine Buddha Practice
Jan. 5-12, 2013
There is growing interest in Medicine Buddha, but few of those who received initiation or read books on the subject have dived into the practice.
Making deep connection with Medicine Buddha - to be of more help to others - requires special meditation time, with teachings and guidance to become truly competent. Medicine Buddha initiation will be given with these teachings.
