The Bliss of Tranquil Abiding Workshop

Live Stream Retreat

“Taking the mind as the object of meditation has a number of advantages. It makes it easier to attain tranquil abiding, to overcome external distractions, and to realize emptiness.”

– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Clear Light of Bliss

Join us for a special Saturday course, The Bliss of Tranquil Abiding, where we learn to use our own mind as our object of meditation. This course will prepare us for a Tranquil Abiding Retreat in May for those who wish to absorb  more deeply into the nature of the mind. First we will spend time identifying our own mind and then we will train in developing concentration on it. This meditation has many functions but its main one is improving our ability to hold our meditation object single pointedly. It will also give us a much more experiential understanding of Buddha’s main teaching – that all happiness and suffering come from the mind – and will therefore deepen our resolve to train our mind. Gaining experience of the nature of the mind also opens us up to a deeper understanding of emptiness and the practice of Tantra.
