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.

Fanning the Flames of Our Inner Wisdom
2026 Shravasti Meditation Retreat with KheHE Garchen Rinpoche Shravastinmo Drolma
May 24th to June 2nd Pilgrim Lodge, Maine
“By way of introduction, in the sacred Gongchig (Single Intent), it says “all qualities arise from meditative equipoise.” In other words, the ultimate point of all our spiritual practice is to rest in a calm meditative state within the nature of reality. To that end, the 7th Kyabgon Rinpoche (HH Chetsang Rinpoche) has urged the significance of the Shravasti Meditation practice, which comes right from the tradition of the sūtras. First having calmed our wandering minds from the distraction of external things, our mind then becomes something we can work with, as through physical and mental pliancy. We can then turn our minds to the object of focus. Generally speaking, this is the core characteristic of all forms of concentration (samādhi). Here in the US, Venerable Khenmo Drolma is familiar with the Shravasti Meditation training, and I am hopeful that she will teach it! It would really be very beneficial to study these teachings with her!”
