Realizing the Nature of the Mind: Mahamudra Retreat with Glen Svensson In the words of Panchen Losang Chogyi Gyeltsen: “May all migrators quickly gain victory over the two obscurations by means of this path, as there is no other second gateway to the state of peace.”

During this weekend retreat we will be investigating the Gelug tradition of mahamudra using the Panchen Lama’s text A Root Text for the Precious Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra. The main practices covered will be how to develop single-pointed concentration through focussing on the mind (shamatha) and how to gain insight into the ultimate nature of the mind (vipashyana).

This retreat will also highlight the preliminary practices which act as a foundation for mahamudra practice along with a brief discussion of the tantra or vajrayana level of practice. This retreat is suitable for both beginners and those already established in the practice.

Friday 19th January 6.30pm - Sunday 21st January, 4.00pm. Held in the Gompa at Chenrezig Institute. Facility Fee $108. Originally from Australia, Glen has been a student and practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism since 1995 and graduated from the seven-year Masters Program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at the Lama Tsong Khapa Institute Pomaia, Italy) in 2004. Since 2005 he has taught and led meditation retreats in India, Europe, North America and Australia with a teaching style emphasizing clarity and stressing the integration ​of philosophical ​view, meditation and daily life conduct.
