ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Join us for this special one-day program designed for both beginners and experienced meditators. The meditation technique taught by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche is uniquely different from other forms of meditation and in many ways contrary to the usual notions about meditation. In this workshop we will explore the nuances of his unique version of the two stages of traditional Buddhist meditation:
• Shamatha—diffusing mental and emotional energy through the development of mindfulness (focused attention), awareness (open monitoring), and presence (embodied nowness). Leads to a stable, strong and resilient state of being.
• Vipashyana—insight which transforms mental and emotional patterns of fixation through the process of exploring one’s conceptual framework, understanding its source, and transforming attachment to by relaxing self-imposed limitations. Leads to a relaxed, intuitive and compassionate state of being.
The workshop will include talks, practice sessions, and guided meditations on loving kindness, equanimity and emptiness. Led by one of WBC’s four senior teachers, Derek Kolleeny.
