In the 8th century CE, Yeshe Tsogyal had a vision in which Vajrayogini gave her these pith instructions for practicing trekchö, known as “cutting through to primordial purity.” Trekchö is the dzokchen equivalent of mahamudra, and both are the epitome of the path of wisdom. This profound but accessible text gives concise instructions for recognizing and resting in the empty and luminous nature of mind.
 
This one-day retreat is restricted to Shambhala Tantrikas, who have attended Vajrayana Seminary or Sacred World Assembly.

Schedule: Monday April 29, 2019
8:30am – 5:30pm (Centre open at 8:30 for coffee/tea; program will begin at 9:00 am)
Feast:  6:00pm
