SILENT DAYLONG PRACTICE INTENSIVE

KAGYU MILA GURU STUPA

Questa, New Mexico

September 18, 2022

8:30 AM TO 5:00 PM (Four sessions including breaks)

FOUR HALLMARKS OF THE BUDDHA'S TEACHINGS

All that is composite is impermanent

Everything defiled is suffering

All phenomena are empty and nonself

Nirvana is peace

Join us for Prajna Fire's first in-person Dharma offering since the pandemic, the first of a four part series bringing fresh encounters with the Buddha into our lived experience. (Future dates to be determined.)

This Silent Daylong Practice Intensive will focus on meeting the Buddha through his teachings on impermanence, through guided and individual practice centered on Listening, Contemplating, and Meditating as described in Lama Yeshe's recent article in Buddhadharma: The Practitioners' Guide and our online journal, Prajna Rising.

Preparatory readings, listenings, and practices are an integral part of the program and will be distributed to registrants via email before the Practice Intensive

Silence is required in the teachings/practice space, and highly recommended throughout the day between sessions in practitioners' homes

DANA POLICY

Dana is an offering of generosity by the community to the teachers and ordained sangha that keep the Dharma accessible for us all and support the merit ecosystem in which Dharma thrives.

The meritorious practice of dana advances the spiritual progress of the benefactor as it supports access to the Dharma. 

Irrespective of amount, motivation for the offering forges meaningful connections knitting the community as a whole together with the positivity and inexhaustible force of merit. Thank you for your offering.
