With Fred Cooper.
Using a Mahamudra approach, we will investigate whether the nature of mind is the same or different when there are no thoughts or when the mind is wandering. The afternoon will be mostly putting into practice guidelines on how to investigate awareness itself by directly observing awareness from various perspectives. A particular practice of Buddha Vairocana will be transmitted at the end of the retreat. Participants should have a stable practice of calm-abiding and insight meditation to benefit from this teaching.
