- THURSDAY: Mind Is EmptyLink visible for attendees
You are invited to join our Sister Sangha on Thursdays
We are studying Awakening the Luminous Mind by Tenzin Wangyal RinpocheWe are in Chapter 5 Mind Is Empty, beginning on page 79.
It is recommended (but never required) to read ahead of time to more fully participate in the discussion and the practice.
Inner Refuge is not a place or a time. It is what is immediately accessible to us because it is innate in us. Awakening the Luminous Mind brings us extraordinary practices and guidance that we can use to deeply understand and then release our pain, and come to an experience of clarity and joy.
Please join us this Thursday as we begin with Rinpoche's guidance, which takes us deeply into the three refuges. These are available to everyone who has bought any version of the book. See page 135.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Trained as a Bön monk, Rinpoche now lives as a householder, allowing him to more fully relate to the needs and concerns of his students. Known for the depth of his wisdom and his unshakeable commitment to helping students recognize their true nature, he is the author of many books and online courses.
Awakening the Luminous Mind introduces us to, and provides skillful practices in an amazing fact: We have within us a resource that can end all confusion and suffering! Our true nature, our true identity, "...is the open and clear space of being... an awareness of openness [that] is the source of all healing as well as the source of creativity, joy, love, compassion and all other positive qualities."
We will be assisted by one of Rinpoche's students, and we hope others will join us!
