​Saturday Retreat: The Dynamic Dharmic Path of Inquiry
From the beginning, Buddha Shakyamuni emphasized the importance of looking deeply into personal experience. In this short meditation program, we will trace the foundations of inquiry in Buddhism and cultivate personal and interpersonal inquiry in our practice and our lives. Whether we are new to practice or are longtime practitioners, the path of inquiry “relights the pilot light” of our lives.

This Saturday retreat will focus on meditation and dialogue to explore inquiry methods from the Tibetan Mahamudra tradition. Mahamudra has deep commonalities with and provides fresh perspectives on Zen practice.

Sunday, May 5, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
