A Teaching by Lama Karma Yeshe and Lama Zopa of Prajna Fire
A Zoom Weekend Retreat
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, December 8th - 10th (see weekend schedule below)
Tuition for the weekend: $130 ($83 reduced fee for self-determined financial need)
$170 (supporter rate)
Join us for a weekend of Dharma talks and guided practice exploring the "Seven Point Cause-Effect Method," a time-honored, organic process for nurturing bodhicitta, the Brave Heart of Awakening. The Method is this:
Opening to kinship
Honoring kindness
Returning gratitude
Touching into affection
Kindling compassion
Exceptional resolve
Brave heart of awakening
Supported by integrative practice, the Buddha's contemplative technology (comprised of the depth practice of listening, contemplating, and meditating), we will develop an accurate understanding of the method; discuss our doubts and aspirations with respect to its practice and efficacy; and engage in experiential analysis to plumb the depths of the Brave Heart of Awakening as it is, here and now, and yet to be.
Practitioners will receive supplementary resources and will have ample opportunity to listen, contemplate, and meditate throughout our time together. This teaching is open to everyone.
