Dharma Sunday

Drawing inspiration from the great yogi Shabkar and the “holy book of nature” this session will expand our heart-mind into the vastness of interbeing through the dynamic interfusion of Refuge, Bodhichitta, & Tonglen.
The profound practices of Refuge, Bodhichitta, and Tonglen open our hearts and expand our view to glimpse and access boundless resourcefulness, fearlessness, and selfless wisdom and responsive compassion. Exploring the synergy and skillful interfusion of Refuge, Bodhichitta, and Tonglen, we’ll reflect upon profound teachings from Shabkar, a wise yogi who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries, who drew deep inspiration from the holy book of nature.

There is no doubt that we are  living in turbulent times and that we’ll continue to see rapid change and heightened uncertainty in the world. We may be experiencing moments of anxiety, dread, or fear – all part of our humanness — but the question is how to respond to these unsettling influences that threaten our equanimity.
The emphasis of our time today will be on finding inspiration for our practice and cultivating the resilience that leads to a fearless heart. We live in challenging times, yet we’re given the opportunity to use these challenges to inspire us along the path to awakening.

Dharma Sundays with Natural Dharma Fellowship take place most Sundays. These sessions, led by highly trained NDF Dharma and guest teachers, include guided meditation, teachings, and time for discussions. A wide range of topics are offered at the discretion of the teacher.

Amid waves of personal and collective suffering and heartbreak, peace can feel far away for so many of us.  Yogis, saints, ancestors, sages through millennia have given voice to their understanding of peace.  But how can we find genuine peace?  How can we find it for real in our own life?  After all, if we merely repeat the words of others, how can we ever realize genuine peace for the benefit of others as well as ourselves?
This morning we’ll begin to explore experientially the timeless wisdom, compassion, beauty, and unconditional love to be found in Nyoshul Khenpo’s pithy spontaneous song of realization, Natural Great Peace.  

Each of the 21,600 breaths you breathe each day can be an affirmation of our interbeing, a source of spiritual inspiration and engagement as we receive and radiate boundless blessings for ourselves and all beings.
This session will explore the profound interfusion of refuge and mentor practice with the radical transformational practice of Tonglen. We’ll experience how each breath can become a vehicle for receiving and radiating spiritual strength and compassionate blessings. Such awareness and engagement can strengthen our courage and confidence, inspiring us to deepen the clear presence and great compassion we bring to every precious moment and encounter of our lives.
