Geshe Dangsong Namgyal offers
Ancient Bön Dzogchen 1-Day Teaching
​
Meditation on Illusion
Pacifying Mental Disturbances
SATURDAY, September 21, 2024
10 am-12pm; 2-4 pm
IN PERSON & ONLINE All Welcome!
This program is a special training for discovering illusion and the methods for pacifying mental disturbances, including key points of view and meditation. Those having trouble with emotional problems such as depression, trauma and hopelessness, need to find mental balance. All spiritual teachings in ancient Bön and Buddhism require this indispensable practice.
Geshe will introduce the Prajnaparamita sutra, which describes an ultimate recognition of all objects as beautiful flowers or colorful crystal balls, and explains how ordinary vision gets confused with illusory form. Geshe will teach meditation techniques for tantric and Dzogchen paths, such as how to recognize your face as a form of illusory phenomena, which can make a marked change in one’s view and can be utilized in resolving individual issues like emotions. It can help your mind become balanced and present and will instill a happiness whenever you remember the meditation.
Born in Tibet, Geshe Dangsong Namgyal is a Rimé (nonsectarian) scholar, meditation master
and author. Having entered the monastery at a young age, he has studied with accomplished
teachers of Yungdrung Bön, Gelupa and other Buddhist traditions in Tibet, India and Nepal.
He currently teaches in California, Mexico, Chile and Brazil.
