About this Event
We can often become stuck in painful habits of thought, believing our mind to be fixed in its negative patterns. During this rare and experiential retreat, learn how to reduce and finally abandon negative habits of mind by meditating its true nature, emptiness.
Delusions within the mind are the source of all physical and mental pain, and these delusions stem from self-grasping ignorance. By realizing emptiness - the true nature of all phenomena, including the mind - we can finally become free from the Pr*son of suffering ignorance and experience only peace and joy.
Join this five-day live-streamed retreat and experience the bliss of ultimate truth, the real nature of phenomena. Sessions will be live at the scheduled times below and available on-demand afterward through Monday, January 18th. Each session includes teaching, recitation of Heart Jewel prayers, and ample time for meditation on the true nature of the mind.
