The Power of Meditation
With Karma Trinlay Rinpoche
July 8 - 10, 2022
A DHARMAKAYA CENTER PROGRAM
You see it everywhere: Meditate to relieve your stress! Control anxiety! Become more focused! All of which is scientifically proven to be true. But there is a deeper reason: by understanding how your mind works, you can actually free yourself from suffering—including stress and anxiety. Take two days to find out why from one of the highest lamas in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
“My meditation practice came to new heights. I feel recharged and ready to apply this wisdom to my everyday challenges.”
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ultimate discovery in meditation is the experience of a pure mind—clear, luminous and free from fear. However, it takes consistent practice to achieve this. After all, the mind is like a spoiled child, running wherever it wants. We have to slow down our thoughts, in order to really examine them. We do that through meditation.
Take a rare opportunity to learn practical teachings from Karma Trinlay Rinpoche, a teacher with the rare ability to make complex concepts clear and accessible. The program will include teachings, Q&A, and practice in calming meditation, compassion and other guided meditations, and walking meditation.
When not in class, relax in our library, walk our woods trails, enjoy our firepit and other outdoor spots.
