Mahāmudrā-Retreat in Israel
03-07-2024 @ 14:30 - 12-07-2024 @ 14:00
Language of instruction: English + translation into Hebrew; course announcements mainly in Hebrew.
No Zoom expected.
The retreat will take place in the beautiful retreat center of the “Tovana Insight Meditation Society” in Kibbutz Ein-Dor, Israel.
We will practice in silence in the style of the Buddhist Mahāmudrā tradition. The course is suitable for those who have a good understanding of meditation and want to be introduced to Mahāmudrā – an insight-based approach to natural being.
Lama Tilmann Lhündrup explains the particular Mahāmudrā style for developing mental calm, insight and activity. His teachings will be based on the famous meditation manual “Moonbeams of Mahamudra” by the Tibetan master Dakpo Tashi Namgyal (1512-1587). Summaries of this wonderful book will be provided so that you do not need to bring it with you. To make Mahāmudrā tangible, Lhündrup will not only teach but also guide meditations.
Although no prior knowledge of Mahāmudrā is required, there are some materials here for those interested:

Lichthaftigkeit. In seiner Mitte ist eine gedachte Mondscheibe, die für erwachte Aktivität und den Geist des Erwachens steht. Die leuchtenden Übergänge und das leere Innere weisen hin auf die ungreifbare Natur aller Erfahrungen, ihren dynamischen Aspekt, die Freude des Erwachens und die leuchtende Weite des alles erhellenden Geistes.
