Schedule
Nalanda West is honored to present a weekend retreat with Tsoknyi Rinpoche Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 27-29, 2012.
On Friday night, Rinpoche will teach from his new book Open Heart, Open Mind. In Open Heart Open Mind, Rinpoche speaks of “a spark of unparalleled brilliance, an unlimited capacity for warmth, openness, and courage, or ‘essence love’. Timeless and imperishable, essence love is often layered over by patterns of behavior and belief that urge us to seek happiness in conditions or situations that never quite live up to their promise.”
We all want and need the capacity to love and be loved unconditionally. We also seek the understanding and insight to work confidently with the challenges in our modern busy lives. Rinpoche provides a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern life, and encourages each of us to rediscover the openness, fearlessness, and love that is the essence of our own life.
During the teaching there will be time for questions and answers, and following the evening program, Rinpoche will sign copies of Open Heart, Open Mind, which will be available in the Nalanda West bookstore.
On Saturday and Sunday, Rinpoche will present further teachings on A Dzogchen Approach to an Open Heart and Open Mind. In the weekend he will teach us how we can experientially touch the nature of mind through the profound Dzogchen teachings and more clearly understand and work with the subtle body, ego development, and how to find and develop "essence love," which is the hallmark of a truly alive, open and free human being. This retreat will explore the dynamic interplay of the two truths on and off the cushion as a way to integrate every aspect of our lives: that we are Buddha nature and on the path to its realization.
