Vajra Dakini: Transformative Practices for Living in a World of Change and Uncertainty

Our inherent altruism inspires a search for a life of compassion and clarity. Meditation provides a path to peace of mind independent of outer conditions. 2600 years ago, Buddha Shakyamuni, introduced a path of meditation in order to transform the root of suffering and experience our interconnectedness with all beings.  This tradition continues with Vajra Dakini, unbroken,  through the Drikung Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

For the next nine months, in Sunday Dharma, Khenmo will be teaching the Heart Sutra- the essential Mahayana Sutra recited by Sanghas all over the world. We will use the “Heart of Understanding” by Thich Nhat Hanh for reference. With this text, we can find the “big picture” and gain perspective for traversing our chaotic times.

Our most recent Shravasti retreat took place on March 3-12, 2025 in Madison Wisconsin. Khenmo integrates traditional meditation and somatic learning. Buddhist fundamentals of Calm Abiding and Insight meditation are explored with commentary from the three yanas including our Kagyu Masters.

Save the Date:  September 18-21, 2025  Retreat, Pilgrim Lodge.
