An Introduction to Mahāmudrā
An Introduction to MahāmudrāA Residential Retreat Offered by Dorlöp Rinpoché, Dr. LyeLater this year, Dr. Lye will anchor a retreat at Southern Dharma on Mahāmudrā. This beautiful setting and profound topic are sure to make for a nourishing retreat. Mahamudra is considered the penultimate practice in Tibetan Buddhism and especially in the Kagyu Lineage that Dorlop Rinpoche Dr Lye is part of. In this retreat, Dr. Lye will draw primarily from the teachings of the early Kagyu masters to give participants a taste of this ancient tradition of practice.
In these early Kagyu sources, there is tremendous emphasis on keeping one’s practice honest and uncomplicated, emphasizing personally developing a heart experience of the natural state while also learning skillful methods for training to empower this process. This retreat will consist of teachings from Dr. Lye, guided group practice and Q&A and sharing sessions. There will also be periods of personal practice.
