Finding Freedom:
A Weekend Retreat on the Seven Points of Mind Training
With Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted
Portland, Oregon, USA
From learning to recognize the essence of mind to bringing wisdom and compassion into our everyday lives, the Seven Points of Mind Training is an indispensable guide to developing Bodhicitta, the commitment to the awakening of all beings. These teachings show us that our problems and difficulties can be the raw material that allows us to awaken authentic love and compassion for ourselves and others. This training is attributed to the great 11th-century scholar and meditation master, Atisha Dipamkara. Originally passed on in secret from teacher to student, these teachings are now considered an essential training for anyone who aspires to travel the path of enlightenment, new students and old hands alike. The weekend will consist of periods of meditation, teachings on key points of the text, and discussion.
