Two Upcoming GlideWing Workshops with Tenzin Rinpoche

'The Nature of Mind: Achieving Great Bliss Through Pure Awareness' and 'Tibetan Dream Yoga'

Starting soon: A three-week workshop with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche,“The Nature of Mind: Achieving Great Bliss Through Pure Awareness,” will be held from March 31 through April 22.

This ancient Tibetan meditation practice teaches you to enter the state of pure awareness that leads to peace, joy and ultimately, to full realization.

These teachings are a direct introduction to the nature of mind. In this interactive workshop, Rinpoche will guide you through each of the five steps of meditation in the Fivefold Teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen. Not only can you learn how to heal your day-to-day life, making it lighter and more joyful, but through the profound simplicity of this practice, you can recognize and connect with your innermost essence, the nature of your mind as a buddha or pure consciousness. Personal support and guidance are provided by Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

This three-week workshop is divided into six teaching sessions, plus an introduction to the workshop practices. The workshop is intended to be experiential rather than purely philosophical or conceptual in nature, with each teaching session providing guidance and exercises for your formal and informal practice.

Starting in May: A four-week GlideWing online workshop with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, “Tibetan Dream Yoga,” will be held May 12–June 10, 2018. Learn and practice from your own home, at your own schedule, with personal guidance from Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately, it is about understanding who we are, the true sense of self." – Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

In this four-week workshop, students will explore and practice the ancient Bon Buddhist teachings of Tibetan dream yoga. The workshop provides detailed instruction for dream yoga practice, with discussions of the relationships between dreaming and waking and between dreaming and death. Rinpoche also will provide instructions for foundational practices done during the day and for the uses and methods of lucid dreaming.

Through dream yoga practice, we can cultivate greater awareness during every moment of life. If we do, freedom and flexibility continually increase, and we are less governed by habitual preoccupations and distractions. Eventually we may develop a continuity of awareness that allows us to maintain full awareness during dreams as well as in waking life. When we fully develop this capacity, we will find that we are living both waking and dreaming life with greater ease, clarity and appreciation.
