All Day
Training the Heart and Mind, a Path of Liberation Retreat
With Tergar Lama Khenpo Kunga
Middleton, Wisconsin, USA
In this retreat, senior Tergar lama Khenpo Kunga will offer experiential instructions on the nature of mind alongside teachings on the ancient practice of Lojong, or Mind Training.
The Mind Training lineage contains some of the most-cherished teachings of the Buddhist tradition. These instructions offer practical advice for transforming the heart and mind through a series of contemplations and meditations. Passed down from teacher to student for more than a thousand years in Tibet, the Mind Training teachings continue to be widely taught and practiced today. His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other great masters frequently offer instructions from this tradition, extolling the profound simplicity of its teachings and its power to open the heart and transform the mind.
This retreat offers a rare opportunity to receive in-depth instructions on the Seven Point Mind Training, one of the most treasured teachings of the Mind Training lineage. Basing his teachings on a commentary by the great 19th Century master, Jamgon Kongtrul, Kenpo Kunga will also offer instructions on the nature of mind, drawing on a unique set of “pointing out instructions” from the lineage of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.
The daily schedule will include periods of silent meditation, teachings by Khenpo Kunga, and opportunities for interviews and small group discussions with senior Tergar instructors.
