First Mahasangha Sadhana of Mahamudra Practice (at HSC)

Saturday, January 21, from 5:00–6:00pm

Description: This event will be the first monthly new moon Mahasangha Sadhana of Mahamudra practice for which the various local Buddhist groups join together alternating between the Halifax Shambhala Centre and KCCL. People can also join online via Ocean which will offer the Zoom room and publicize the event.
For those who who join in-person and who want to stay on afterwards, there will be tea and a little snack and conversation.

In the epilogue to this autobiographical book “Born in Tibet”, Trungpa Rinpoche describes the process prior to writing this sadhana in the cave of Taktsang, September 1968:

“During my retreat at Tagtsang I was able to reflect on my life and particularly on how to propagate the dharma in the West. I invoked Guru Rinpoche and the Kagyü forefathers to provide vision for the future. For a few days nothing happened. Then there came a jolting experience of the need to develop more openness and greater energy. At the same time there arose a feeling of deep devotion to Karma Pakshi, the second Karmapa, and to Guru Rinpoche. I realized that in fact these two were one in the unified tradition of mahamudra and ati. Filled with the vivid recognition of them and their oneness, I composed in two days the Sadhana of Mahamudra, of twenty-four pages.”

Who can attend: Everyone is welcome.
