Radical Dzogchen: Introduction
July 5, 6, 7th
Saranam Retreat Center
Montrose, WV 26283
Radical Dzogchen meditation points to the nondual reality that is the nature of mind, the nature of our being, the nature of our every timeless moment of experience in the here and now. Knowing mind’s nature, we know Buddha. Here both in theory and in practice we recognize the immediate path as essential Dzogchen. Radical Dzogchen has no specific home in any religion or culture. Rather, every religion and culture is home to radical dzogchen. Although different labels may identify it in those diverse human contexts, its existential reality is the same. e with experience in the nature of mind is welcome to this first Radical Dzogchen retreat in the U.S.
"Through non-action ati-yoga (utmost yoga), the natural state of mind is revealed. We need to know how that is, and with a little help from our friends and the non-meditation ethic of simply sitting, we realize the true nature of mind.” Keith Dowman
This retreat is a wonderful and once-only opportunity to introduce and deepen the practice of Dzogchen meditation with one of the foremost writers and teachers of this nondual meditation tradition."
