RETREATS
discovering your enlightened nature
Join us in San Diego for this transformational retreat on discovering your true and enlightened nature. This retreat offers an insightful journey to the heart of awakening, the primordial nature of mind. Led by former monk and revered teacher of Buddhism Michael Gregory, heart instructions from the ancient wisdom tradition of Mahamudra will be offered.
In this retreat you will discover the experience of mind that’s completely free and joyful and at ease with whatever life may bring. The wisdom of this mind teaches us that enlightenment is not a far off goal but the very nature of our mind, which can be experienced in every moment.
Through this recognition we are empowered to realize that both our suffering and liberation, manifest as inseparable from our minds and so when we directly encounter the wisdom of Mahamudra we can bring an end to our own suffering and to compassionately benefit others.
Michaels approach is to offer the heart these teachings in a clear, direct and transformative way, that awakens the natural radiance and creativity of our minds. He presents the Mahamudra teachings as a means of seeing things in, as he says, “a positive and open light,” and to transform even the most difficult of situations into awakening.
Join us in San Diego for this transformational retreat on discovering your true and enlightened nature. This retreat offers an insightful journey to the heart of awakening, the primordial nature of mind. Led by former monk and revered teacher of Buddhism Michael Gregory, heart instructions from the ancient wisdom tradition of Mahamudra will be offered.
Through the practices of Mahamudra and Non Dual Mindfulness we will open to the radiant and expansive nature of mind and in this way naturally bring our emotions, relationships and path and purpose to the highest potential which is compassionate awakening for the benefit of all.
This is a way of understanding the mind of enlightenment which is rich in qualities that brings us boundless happiness, insight, and a corresponding inner compassionate desire to help our world.
This practice relies on key instructions of the Mahamudra lineage imparted to us through a trusted and highly practiced teacher. These ancient lineage instructions on enlightenment have been handed down from teacher to student for the past few thousand years. Michael received these from his teachers when he a Buddhist monk in Sikkim and Thailand, and has led many retreats on this subject for the last 25 years.
This retreat offers a unique opportunity to receive these instructions and with a sincere interest in working with them, we have a good chance of understanding and realizing Mahamudra wisdom.
