Mahamudra
Rinpoche will provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of the various stages of Mahamudra practice, from a fundamental understanding of emptiness and the nature of mind to realizing our natural state of being. Rinpoche will explain how the basic Mahamudra techniques of shamatha and vipashyana differ from the traditional Buddhist approach to these practices and address some of the difficulties that can arise on the path, particularly for westerners. Rinpoche will also explain the importance of key Mahamudra instructions: letting go of fixation and cultivating self-acceptance.

Integral Buddhism
Traditional Buddhist practices include body, mind, arts, crafts, meditational practices; using senses and voice to stabilize and awaken the mind. We have very deep-seated and entrenched habits around how we see things. Buddhism teaches that the way to clarify our experiences is to not take everything we experience at face value. Many of our problems are produced by thinking about our experiences too much. When we do that, we may get a distorted version of whatever it is that we think has occurred. Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche will offer teachings on the Buddhist philosophical and psychological perspective on dealing with our experiences in a more integrated way.

Integral Buddhism
The body and mind exist in intimate relationship and the importance of exercises such as meditation, yoga and pranayama—that help to marry mind and body—cannot be over-estimated. Learning to be in touch with our true nature requires dealing with psychological and physical issues so that we can increase the pliancy of both body and mind. We need to gain a greater understanding of ourselves in a variety of behaviours and circumstances and Rinpoche will present a number of exercises and tools for developing a more spacious and accommodating approach to both pleasant and unpleasant experiences. Integral Buddhism is about working with our mental factors to gradually establish a strong foundation on which to build a ‘new you.’

Integral Buddhism
We clarify our experiences by not taking everything we experience at face value and by not thinking too much, because this only creates a distorted version of whatever it is we are experiencing. We can learn to look beyond appearances and break our fixations by balancing body and mind in an integrated system of spiritual practices.
