The Tantric Meditation on the Unity of Generosity and Wisdom: Golden Zambala Yab-YumDates: July 7-26th (three-weeks), with one, two and three week options.* "Generosity- both the act of giving and receiving- is a vital root nourishing all meditative and spiritual growth. Without generosity conjoined with penetrative insight, the fruits of one's practice, especially meditative concentration are always weak. Zambala is a principle Tantric meditative deity (Yidam) for unfolding the unity of generosity and wisdom and the skill to help others develop this strength. It is a corrective to mental and material impoverishment, so we have abundant energy to fulfill the Path of Liberation and give this gift to others. Generosity is the rapid antidote to attachment, hoarding, stinginess and clinging. We need to unfold a generous mind filled with concentration, exploration, joy, love and awareness; this is a supreme gift to ourselves and all living beings. The more we overcome resistance to giving and receiving beyond what we thought possible, fear and anxiety evaporate and the non-clinging, free and luminous aspect of the mind naturally manifests. Insight or wisdom is gaining a clear and continuous experience of this naturally inherent aspect of mind. In this retreat, through a combination of Empowerments, teachings, daily meditations, body, breath and energy awareness we will begin to discover and unfold the power of generosity which is within all of us." (Lama Mark) To Register for this retreat please email: crystalmountainsociety@yahoo.ca or Phone 250.383.3032 * One may attend the first week; the first and second weeks or the full three-weeks.

Buddhist Meditations on Realizing the Naturally Awake StateANNUAL THREE-WEEK MAKARORA RETREAT Lama Mark will be bestowing the empowerment of Karma Paksi and giving teachings from texts by the great 8th century teacher and yogi, Padmasambhava. There will be individual meditation guidance and group practice sessions. This retreat will be a great opportunity to learn the essence of meditation, mind yoga and some physical movements to bring about peacefulness and bright awakeness. Throughout the course, Lama Mark will point to and instruct on the essence of true meditation; the natural continuum of mindfulness and lucid awareness inherent in every moment, in every one of us. We come to discover, through sustained concentration merged with loving-kindness, a compassionate, vividly aware mind free of mental obstacles and delusions. The empowerment of White Six-Armed Mahakala will also be given. This is a practice for the discovery of Pristine Awareness, support for meditative practice through richness and power, the dissolution of material and psychological poverty for all beings, and the alchemical transmutation of the life energies. Location: Makarora Homestead, New Zealand Please contact Alan for more information or registration. |
2008 April 7- 11 and 14-15 New Zealand: Christchurch | The Nature of Familiar Materials: a practical lab courseThe chemical world is all around us and in us. We use, come into contact or ingest thousands of natural and man-made chemicals per day. This is a fun introductory chemistry course for non-scientists; no math skills required and no tests! This course aims for participants to gain hands-on experience and understanding, with and emphasis on the natural origins and synthesis of familiar materials such as plastics, metals, dyes, drugs, glass, ceramics, etc. What are these materials? Where do they come from? How are they made? Are they safe? What kind of world do we live in? There will also be classes on the history of science and chemistry from its birth in the mystical arts of alchemy to the growth of modern science. This course will highlight the importance, power and usefulness of the scientific method of enquiry. Participants will learn to research, experiment, observe, analyze and question in a scientific manner. Taught by Mark Webber (MA) and Rafael Hoekstra (BSc-Chemistry) Location: Chemistry Laboratories, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ Registration: is available online at UC Opportunity, University of Canterbury You may also contact Rafael Hoekstra for more information. |

The Western Mystical Path: teachings from St. John of the CrossA BOLD ILLUMINATION OF THE MEDITATIVE PATH Lama Mark Webber will be teaching on the topic of the Western Mystical path, a subject he is currently teaching and exploring during the three-month San Ginesio retreat. Readings and commentary from St. John of the Cross's manual of meditation called the Ascent of Mt. Carmel will form the core of this weekend of teaching and meditation. St. John of the Cross is a famous 16th century mystic and one of Spain's greatest poets. He was also a brilliant systematizer of the entire spiritual path, especially his division of the path into three Dark Nights; of the senses, of faith and of God, corresponding to the lights of evening, midnight and dawn. The equivalences, to be revealed in these classes between St. John of the Cross's teachings and the Mahamudra and Dzogchen traditions are unmistakable, illuminating and beautiful to behold. Lama Mark will also discuss some differences in cultural attitudes and history between Buddhism and its meditation systems and the path of the Western Mystic; including how we integrate our rich Western tradition of enquiry and scientific method. By exploring the teachings of a great Christian Mystic, meditative practitioners no matter what path they follow may see how universal and essential is the nature of liberation. Location: Queenstown Dharma House Please contact Alan for more information or registration. |
2008: 24 - 27 February New Zealand: Queenstown |
How to Merge Deity (Yidam) Yoga Practice with Wisdom: Teachings from the Nyingma Tradition"For those engaged in the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism, Deity (Yidam) Yoga practice is essential. These meditations bring about mental and physiological strength, ripen talents and richness, clear away difficult obstacles and help bring about profound compassion and wisdom. There will be discourse, practice and commentary to help practitioners gain a vast view of the importance and joy of Yidam meditation and mantra yoga and how to deeply integrate it with the mind's inner potential. So many unnecessary misunderstandings and frustrations are present around these Yogas, especially the practice and view of mantra yoga, visualization, different modes of practice and the essential dissolution stage. The structure, purpose and inner nature of these meditations will be clarified. In addition, the training and explorations that must be accomplished, the signs of discovery, and how insight meditations such as Mahamudra and Dzogchen are seamlessly integrated into these Yogas will be shown. Without integrating these yogas with the View of Emptiness, one may as well plant seeds in barren ground or watch images in a mirror without ever investigating the nature of the mirror." -Lama Mark The empowerments of Green Tara of the Acacia Forest and Sakya Pandita Manjusri will be bestowed. Location: Queenstown Dharma House Please contact Alan for more information or registration. |

2008: February 15-17 New Zealand: Wellington | Deep Sensing and Seeing with the HeartAN EXPLORATION OF THE HEART SUTRA. Lama Mark will be teaching from the Heart Sutra during this non-residential retreat. The Heart Sutra is one of the great Buddhist classics pointing directly to the nature of emptiness, the essence of all experience and wisdom mind. It is a pithy and poetic meditation text, compassionate and deeply moving. With mindful attention to the experiences of our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, perceptions, feelings and mind we begin to experience an open and wondrous freedom. The Tantric empowerment and meditation of Prajnaparamita, who embodies the teaching of the Heart Sutra will be bestowed during this course. Location: Home of Compassion Community Centre, Island Bay, Wellington, New Zealand Please contact Ruth Pink for more information or registration. |
2008: February 8 - 10 New Zealand: Auckland |
Meditations on Overcoming Fears: The Mandala of the Twenty-0ne Taras"The meditations of the Twenty-one Taras (female embodiments of wisdom and compassion) are a powerful entry gate into liberation from fears and anxieties and the building of great emotional and mental strength. By becoming each figure in the mandala, different types of obstacles are dissolved and strengths and talents open. This is a mandala of compassionate awake activity. Each figure is an aspect of the central green figure of Tara (Tara-"to cross over"). Around her are four different Taras representing the Four Buddha Activities of: peacefulness, unfoldment/increase, power, and fierce cutting through all obstacles. Then there are the remaining sixteen Taras that help remove deep seated fears and anxieties and bring about immense strength. In addition to explaining the rich and ancient tradition of Tara, this is an ideal time to share some modern psychological and physiological views about anxiety and fear, trauma and the remarkable plasticity and openness of our nervous system." -Lama Mark Location: This residential retreat will be held on a retreat property in the Waitakere hills, West Auckland. Please contact Janet Eades for more information or registration. |

The Tantric meditations of the Twelve forms of Manjurshri were brought from ancient India to Tibet in the 11th century by the great translator, teacher and yogi, Bari Lotsawa. And the initiations bestowed by Lama Mark will give authorization to practice, develop and reveal profound facets of the intelligence of the Wisdom Mind.These practices are especially good for increasing clarity, logic, brightness, intelligence, speech, explanation of Dharma, all with a gentle heart of compassion. In addition to the empowerments and teachings of Manjushri, Lama Mark will connect these practices to the great meditative traditions of Mahamudra and Dzogchen (penetrative insight).
