On Sunday March 31, 2024, many students were with Lama Jinpa on retreat at Lotus View Ranch. For those students who remained in Sacramento on Sunday, we formed a connection with those at LVR by reciting the Ganges Mahamudra, Tilopa's spiritual song of awakening, and meditating on its profound view.
Homage to the Vajradakini
Although Mahamudra cannot be taught, intelligent and patient Naropa,
tolerant of suffering, who is engaged in austerity and is devoted to the guru,
Fortunate one, do this with your mind.
For example, in space what is resting on what?
In one's mind, Mahamudra, there is nothing to be shown.
Rest relaxed in the natural state without attempting to alter anything.
If this fetter or bondage of thought is loosened,
there is no doubt that you will be liberated.
Join Matthew Kruse and Susan Farrar for this opportunity to deepen your meditative practice and to rest in union with Lama Jinpa and other students at Lotus View Ranch.
