Living in Awareness
With Anam Thubten
June 5 - 7, 2012
The core of Buddhist practice is to arrive at the realization that our true nature shines as the groundless ground of being that is naturally free and enlightened. During this retreat people are invited to experience this truth for themselves. It will be structured with alternating sessions of silence, teaching, dialogue and the practice of sitting and walking meditation.
