The Mahasiddhas - a day retreat

The 84 Mahasiddhas were early Tantric practitioners who discovered complete liberation through outrageously conventional or unconventional means. The lives of the Mahasiddhas emphasise that spiritual realisation is found within ordinary life, not in a special realm outside it.

Stories of some of the 84 Mahasiddhas will presented from the unique perspective of Dzogchen.

This method of integrating practice into the experience of everyday life is a profound practice of finding the presence of awareness in all of one’s experience.

The retreat is led by two ordained practitioners, Ngakma Nor’dzin Pamo and Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin Tridral - a married teaching couple with over 30 years practice experience. They teach internationally as well as been the primary teachers at Aro Ling Cardiff Buddhist Centre. Ngakma Nor’dzin is the author of Spacious Passion, and the award-winning Relaxing Into Meditation. Their first book written together will be available from the beginning of 2016 and is called Illusory Advice.

There will be an hour's lunch break at 1pm. Whitchurch Village has many pleasant coffee bars and restaurants, or please bring your own packed lunch. There will be tea breaks during the day for which refreshments are provided.

10am to 19.00pm Saturday 12th March 2016.
