Mahamudra (Skt: "Great Seal") is the cornerstone of the Kagyu tradition--its highest and most respected practice. This retreat will focus on a teaching from a text by His Holiness the 9th Karmapa.
This Mahamudra lineage was passed in India from Tilopa, to Naropa, to Marpa, to Milarepa and then to Gampopa in Tibet. This practice, following in the exact same lineage first taught by the 9th Karmapa (1556-1603), is one of the most famous expositions of this meditational system. It covers both preliminary practices as well as actual Mahamudra meditations of mental quiessence and penetrative insight.
This retreat is suitable for all levels of practitioners and beginners are especially encouraged to attend, since Mahamudra is the single most important practice anyone in our lineage can train in.
This retreat will be done using our satellite center broadcast technology, so local groups will be hosting this retreat in various locations around the world. Please contact Dave Rodenbaugh to find out more about a community near you, or how to host your own retreat gathering!
