Immediately after our regularly scheduled Saturday morning meditation session on June 8, we will hold a day of teaching and meditation.

Our teacher, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will be giving an explanation of the “Four Dharmas of Gampopa”, a prayer we frequently recite at MDC. This will be followed by a session of meditation in the afternoon, and will be offered as a silent retreat to help focus the mind onto the importance of these teachings.

Gampopa, the author of The Jewel Ornament of Liberation, was the heart disciple of Milarepa and a revered practitioner and meditator in the Kagyu lineage.

This text by him, “The Four Dharmas of Gampopa”, succinctly offers a complete guide to practice for practitioners and leads us through the gradual path to liberation. This teaching is precious. This is a special opportunity.

Please bring a bag lunch to enjoy. Snacks and tea will be available throughout the day.

Suggested donation: $40 for the general public, $25 for students and those with limited income. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. All are welcome!
