“When mind gazes into mind itself, the train of discursive and conceptual thought ends …” ~ Tilopa, the great 11th century mahasiddha
Song of Mahamudra
September 17 – 19
The most profound teachings on Mahamudra and in fact all lineages of Mahamudra meditation have their source in verse teachings from poems and “songs of realization” composed by mahasiddhas. The Song of Mahamudra was sung by Tilopa, the great 11th century mahasiddha, to his disciple Naropa on the banks of the Ganges River more than a thousand years ago.
Since that time, the meaning of Tilopa’s instructions has been passed directly from master to disciple in a continuous stream that exists unbroken to this day.
Over a weekend, Lama Tsultrim will offer a rare glimpse into the Mahamudra oral transmission of one of the lineage’s most learned and accomplished masters. She will offer teachings on Tilopa’s Song of Mahamudra, considered to contain the essence of all teachings. All are welcome.
In the video with Lama Tsultrim below, she talks about these teachings being some of the first she ever received and practiced, and this retreat being the first time she has ever taught them. To watch this section of the video, click here »
