December 27 to January 3
New Year's retreat on Impermanence and Change

As 2011 becomes 2012, we invite you to an intimate in-house retreat at Vajra Dakini to explore the pleasures and the pains of change.  Given the opportunity to explore and embrace change, we may find our resistance, and our suffering diminishing.  Given time for contemplation and rest, 2012 may become a truly new year.  

 

Over the course of this Dec 27 - Jan 3 retreat, we will have ample time for practice and contemplation of impermanence in the ways it manifests, especially with regards to sickness, old age and death.   The teachings that Khenmo will offer, the practices we will share, and retreat schedule will be suitable for both beginning and advanced practitioners.  We look forward to sharing this peaceful, contemplative New Years retreat with you.

TBA Exploring Monastic Life (applications required)

Taking any level of vows, lay or monastic, is a serious step. Vajra Dakini will offer residential retreats for women to clarify their commitment. We offer an immersion into practice life for those who are considering ordination or who wish to gain experience in monastic community life post ordination. Aspirants will be participating in various aspects of monastic training including meditation training, mores and service. This retreat is intimate with a lot of personal contact for questions and reflections and therefore limited to 4 participants. Khenmo Drolma will be joined by Ven. Thupten Salden to offer their personal experience.
“Even taking 12 steps towards a monastery is of inconceivable merit.”

Always Available:

“Women of Wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism”
Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo introduces us to Lady Yeshe Tsogyal, a historic Tibetan woman who achieved Buddhahood. Yeshe Tsogyal had an extraordinary life. She was raped and beaten, and still found ultimate compassion for all living beings. She exemplifies perseverance in finding one’s spiritual path in times of hardship. Each session examines a specific stage in her training: finding a teacher, expanding compassion and recognizing her own perfect nature. Khenmo Drolma continues with practical meditation instructions for daily life.
