Shambhala Sadhana Retreat
Saturday, March 17th and Sunday, March 18th from 09:00 to 17:00

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche has composed a new sadhana, the Shambhala Sadhana, as a practice to deepen our personal and social connection with basic goodness.  The Shambhala Sadhana is simple and quite powerful in its direct approach to basic goodness.

The Shambhala Sadhana Retreat is the initial introduction of the new sadhana to the Shambhala community.  Shastri Henry Chapin will lead the weekend, which includes an online talk by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, introduction and discussion about the sadhana, and most of all intensive practice.  We will finish with the Shambhala Sadhana Feast practice.

This special weekend is open to those who have taken the Enlightened Society Vow.  In the future, the sadhana will be introduced at Enlightened Society Assembly.  Those who have already attended Sutrayana Seminary or are eligible for Enlightened Society Assembly and have not taken the vow will be given an opportunity to take it prior to the weekend.  Please contact David Fowler if you wish to take the vow, or have questions about the requirements (Dathün, WoS I and II, membership in the Centre).

Retraite sur la sadhana de Shambhala

Le Sakyong Mipham Rinpoché a composé une nouvelle sadhana, la sadhana de Shambhala, qui nous permet d’approfondir notre lien personnel et social à la bonté fondamentale. L’approche directe de la bonté fondamentale employée par la sadhana est simple et plutôt puissante.

La retraite sur la sadhana de Shambhala constituera la première présentation de la sadhana à la communauté de Shambhala. Le shastri Henry Chapin dirigera en anglais la fin de semaine, qui comprend une causerie en ligne du Sakyong Mipham Rinpoché, une introduction à la sadhana, des discussions à son sujet et, surtout, de la pratique intensive. Nous conclurons avec la pratique du festin de la sadhana. La traduction française de la sadhana est en cours, et nous espérons qu’elle sera alors disponible.

Cette fin de semaine spéciale est ouverte à ceux et celles qui ont prononcé le vœu de la société éveillée. À l’avenir, cette sadhana sera présentée lors de l’Assemblée de la société éveillée. Tous ceux et celles qui ont complété le séminaire Sutrayana ou sont admissibles à l’Assemblée de la société éveillée mais qui n’ont pas prononcé le vœu en question auront l’occasion de le faire avant la retraite. Veuillez contacter David Fowler si vous désirez prononcer ce vœu, ou si vous avez des questions au sujet des prérequis (dathün, la Voie de Shambhala I et II, être membre du Centre).

 

Open to those who have taken the Enlightened Society Vow

Sacred Outlook: The View, Practice, and Action of the Shambhala Vajrayana
New : Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th from 09:00 to 17:00

In this weekend program, we will discuss the Sakyong's recent teachings on transforming ordinary perception into sacred outlook by exploring the three courts (view), samaya and the samayasattva and jnanasattva principles (practice) and authentic presence as the basis for creating enlightened society (action).

Participants will practice either the Primordial Rigden Ngondro or the Werma Sadhana. This will count as two days of group retreat for either practice.

Open to all tantrikas.
Suggested donation: $150
