SUMMARY:Embodying Compassionate Presence: A Chenrezig Retreat with Rob Preece
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Compassionate Presence – A Chenrezig Retreat \n4-Day Online Retreat\nFriday April 14\, 2023-Monday April 17\, 2023\n7am-5pm PDT\nPlease plan to attend all days\, no partial retreat available \nSliding scale $200-$300\nScholarships available\, please email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com to request a scholarship.\nSpace is limited so register now: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-s4yj-20230414000000 \nThis retreat will be open to anyone who has a background in the Tibetan tradition\, no specific empowerment is required to attend. \nThe practice of Chenrezig gives us the opportunity to receive and attune to a deep quality of compassionate presence. As we become increasingly familiar with this in ourselves\, we are then more able to offer this to others as an expression of Bodhichitta. Perhaps the most meaningful way we can be of benefit to another when they are suffering is to offer compassionate presence. This is a quality that can be totally present and open in a way that allows both ourselves and others to be as we are\, free of agendas and expectations. \nWhen we experience this\, it enables our suffering to begin to move through because it is held safely with compassion. We have all needed this at different times in our life. Can we be this for ourselves as well as for others? Chenrezig is the Buddha of compassionate presence. He enables us to begin to discover and embody that quality in a way that can inform all of our relationships including to ourselves. \nDuring this retreat the practice of Chenrezig will be combined with Mahamudra meditation and Kum Nye. \nThis retreat is for those who have some experience of Buddhist meditation. \nRob Preece\nRob has been a practicing Tibetan Buddhist since 1973. In 1980 he went to India and was in retreat for around five years exploring in depth the practice of tantra\, meditating under the guidance of his teachers Lama Thubten Yeshe\, Gen Jhampa Wangdu and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Returning to the West\, in 1985 he began a Jungian based psychotherapy training\, gradually developing a synthesis of Jungian and Buddhist understanding. He worked as a psychotherapist for around 28 years and then began to focus upon spiritual mentoring. Since 1985 he has been leading meditation retreats\, following the influence of Lama Yeshe who particularly encouraged his integration of a more Western approach to tantric practice. He is an experienced Tangkha painter as well as the author of The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra; The Wisdom of Imperfection; and most recently Tasting the Essence of Tantra. Today he teaches retreats in the UK with his wife Anna and also in Europe and the US. \nInstructions\nLog in info and full schedule will be emailed out before the retreat.\nPlease plan to attend the entire 4-day retreat. As this retreat is online\, please do your best to create a retreat-like atmosphere in your home for the 4 days by minimizing distractions.
