Illusory Body: Life Is But a Dream
Andrew Holecek
“Lucid dreaming leads to lucid living,” says dream yoga specialist Andrew Holecek, who introduces the liberating, revelatory, and powerful idea that life itself is a dream — and leads us through a number of simple but time-proven practices for cutting through conventional thinking and waking up to life.
Your free 3-day miniseries includes teachings from these sessions:
Deity Yoga: You Are Tara
Venerable Thubten Chodron
Imaginatively “becoming” a Buddha or bodhisattva during meditation is a skillful method central to Buddhist practice throughout Tibet, aimed at illuminating their enlightened qualities and recognizing our true nature as the very same. Join Thubten Chodron, Buddhist nun and founder of Sravasti Abbey, to practice deity yoga and embody the great goddess Tara, known as the Mother of all Buddhas
Chöd: The Ultimate Letting Go
Lama Tsultrim Allione
Humans are very good at finding ways to avoid painful or difficult truths. But what happens if we try feeding, not fighting, the things that scare us? That’s the idea at the heart of Chöd. Renowned teacher/practitioner Tsultrim Allione leads us in discovering how Chöd practice can cut to the very root of suffering: ignorance of how things truly are.
