Simplify your lives as much as you can.
Chögyam Trungpa RInpoche
Pre-requisite: Transmission of the Stroke of Ashe
The interplay of the Shambhala and Buddhist teachings is at the heart of the Vidyadhara's work. His radical and inclusive vision of awake human society is the ground from which many more human beings can become enlightened.
This retreat is not a review, but an opportunity to go deeper with the profound practices of Ashe and Windhorse, in order to bring them more fully into your life. It is for all who have received Stroke transmission: graduates of Warrior Assembly who may be just learning these practices, and senior students who received the Stroke of Ashe years ago and wish to deepen or re-ignite their path.
There will be separate sessions for vajrayana practitioners.
Topics of teaching
Discussion and practice will be:
- Knowing Ashe as the essence of reality
