Join us for a full weekend of meditation instruction and practice with our dear friend and meditation expert Brendan Kennedy!
Join us for a full weekend of meditation instruction and practice with our dear friend and meditation expert Brendan Kennedy!
When we meditate, most of us discover that we can’t let our minds just simply be without being any “thing”. How can we free our minds from our karmic conditioning and habituation that prevents us from being who we really are—the innate Great Perfection? How can we begin to see or be the emptiness of mind and objects?
There are many methods to de-condition or de-habituate the mind so that it can start to be what it is; so it can start to be itself. For this weekend, we will explore one particular method (which involves other integrated methods) to help us be free from all the things that bind us—the practice of non-focusing.
Brendan’s teachings are suited to those who have cultivated a daily meditation practice and are looking to deepen their experiential understanding of the practice. Through practicing together and sharing about our practice in an open forum, Brendan guides us to look at and transcend our habitual blocks to awareness and clarity and to give up preoccupation and distraction from who we truly are. This approach leads each person toward freedom from the trappings of ego.
Brendan has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for over 30 years. His main teachers are His Holiness The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Sokste Rinpoche, and Lama Surya Das. Drawing on his deep study of Ramana Maharshi and Nisagardatta Maharaji, Brendan illuminates the complementary similarities between Dzogchen and Advaita Vedanta in his teachings. Brendan offers a few intensive retreats each year but primarily focuses on synthesizing theory and practice at his desert hermitage in California.
Session One: Friday, March 26, 2021–7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Session Two: Saturday, March 27, 2021–10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Session Three: Saturday, March 27, 2021–2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Session Four: Sunday, March 28, 2021–10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Session Five: Sunday, March 28, 2021–2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Suggested donation for each session: $30
Suggested donation for the full weekend, or all five sessions: $150

One needs to have received the transmission of these practices from a qualified teacher in order to offer this practice. You may attend any session you like, however, attending from the beginning of the session to the end is requested.
Wednesday evenings at 7 pm MST / 5 pm PST beginning March 3rd, 2021
The session will last for one hour. It will include recitation of 21 Vajrasattva mantras and 300 Vajra Guru mantras. We will recite both the Tibetan and the English. To minimize the audio disruption, participants will be muted during the actual practice.
We will be using the Yeshe Melong translation of the basic preliminary practice text. We will also begin with opening prayers and conclude with dedication prayers. We will distribute copies of the texts we plan to recite, including the specific translations of opening and closing prayers to those who RSVP below.
A review of A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom, the Complete Instructions on the Preliminary Practices by His Holiness Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (Dudjom Rinpoche) is recommended. His Holiness [Dudjom Rinpoche] taught that the realization of the Great Perfection depends entirely on these preliminary practices. Detailed instructions for how to do the practice are contained in this reference book.
We will host this program via Zoom conferencing software. To join us, please RSVP below with your email address. Once you RSVP, you will be receiving an email from Tara Roberts directly with the Zoom link and the texts and relevant details.
If possible, please allow ample time – at least a day / to send those texts to you. If you are new to this version of the practice, we will provide instructions on how to do the recitations, the melody and the visualizations. Please note: you must download Zoom first to your phone, tablet, or computer.
