What If You Are What You’re Looking For?
Saturday, October 19 | 10am–11:30am
With Resident Teacher Anika Trancik
Meditation is so much more than only a means of relaxing and de-stressing. As taught by Buddha it is the primary tool for exploring our mind and how our mind creates our reality. Skillful meditation takes us right into the deeper nature of our being where we discover our own natural source of peace and happiness, our Buddha nature. Learning to recognize, access and nurture that pure potential is what the spiritual path is all about.
In this course, through talks, guided meditations and discussion, we will learn how to effectively access and begin to nurture that spiritual dimension of our being. It turns out that we have the potential not just to fulfill our own yearning for real and lasting happiness, but also to be able to bring that happiness into the lives of others.

INTERNATIONAL FALL FESTIVAL
The Gateway to Highest Yoga Tantra
Offered in-person and online (see booking website for details)
with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa
As Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche explains in Modern Buddhism, the gateway through which we enter Tantra is receiving a Tantric empowerment. This bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature. In this Festival Gen-la Dekyong will grant the empowerments of the principal Deities of Highest Yoga Tantra – Heruka and Vajrayogini – and introduce their essential practices.
This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to receive from Gen-la Dekyong the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments and teachings of Heruka and Vajrayogini according to the Ganden Oral Lineage, which is the special heart treasure of her Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
