Schedule

In response to our requests for another long retreat and a deep study of Abhidhamma, Lama Mark has proposed a four month retreat on Galiano Island, September 18, 2010-January 15, 2011. Sponsored by Crystal Mountain Society.

The Abhidhamma(Pali for "Higher Laws" or "Higher Phenomena") is one of the three-baskets (collections) of the Buddha's teachings. In the Theravadin tradition it is considered to be the pinnacle of the Buddha's teachings. It is a deep study via meditative analysis of mind and form, states, meditative concentration, realms of being, mental processes, cognition and stages of liberation; all from the perspective of the Buddha's meditative insight. Abhidhamma studies combined with meditation are essential for better understanding the whole of Buddhist Teachings, especially the progressive unfoldment through meditative concentration and insight knowledge.

The Course/Retreat Plan is to have approximately three-months of Abhidhamma teachings, study and short meditation retreats, followed by 3-4 weeks of deep retreat on these profound teachings of Insight. Lama Mark stated that he will give the entire transmission of the text, the Abhidhammathasangaha, with some teachings from the Abhidhammakosa interspersed with modern cognitive, neuroscience, life sciences, ecology, physics/chemistry and space science perspectives. Be prepared to translate, study, investigate together, do lab explorations and meditate! The emphasis of this program will be on combining intellectual rigour with insight meditation in the tradition of Abhidhamma as Lama Mark received it from the Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche.

This retreat will go ahead in 2010: We are actively searching for houses to rent nearby Lama Mark's residence and the Crystal Mountain Retreat on Galiano Island. Retreat Costs: We are currently working on a budget. Details will be shared regularly with those who are registered/interested. If you seriously wish to attend this retreat or have any questions please contact Sunil Nathvani

Unifying Yidam Yoga with Pristine Awareness

These teachings are about how to practice Deity (Yidam) Yoga. The most important aspect will be imparting a clear view of what it is that one is meditating on! He will emphasize such crucial topics as Bodhicitta, emptiness, and compassion, especially from the perspective of Dzogchen-Mahamudra. Lama Mark will clear away misunderstandings, and highlight how profound a path this is for strengthening Bodhicitta and compassion, as well transmuting unproductive life patterns. Understanding some key principles of this important yoga is essential to both deriving profound benefits for all, and enjoying these practices. Empowerment to be announced.

"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

WEEKEND RETREAT WITH LAMA MARK WEBBER

RETREAT - SATURDAY JULY 4 and SUNDAY JULY 5

Meditation-Naturally: How is Continuity of Meditative Concentration Sustained ?

With the support of Lama Mark, this weekend retreat is a time for discovery and learning the essentials of meditation. Meditation is the profound lucidity of the natural unobstructed mind. It needs no dogma, continuity of awareness is ever present and its nature is free of emotional turmoil. How to unfold this elegant and wonderful simplicity? That requires a road map, an over-view and training or mental culture, mixed with lots of experimentation. In this retreat Lama Mark will emphasize two foundations: kindness and mindfulness of breath. Through talks, short duration meditations and gentle and slow movements we learn to sustain meditative awareness throughout the day. The retreat is for those at all stages of meditative skill. Questions during the retreat are welcome.

A description of the workshop can be seen on the poster.

Generosity and the Craft of Awakening

Liberation and awakening is really a grand craft. And meditation is a craft, not a rote technique. Re-orientate to crafting a Path of Awakening through the joy of building, discovering, unlearning, making mistakes, studying, asking questions-questing-a mandala of projects all with awareness. This is an essential view. We must learn how to patiently chip away, like a good sculptor in stone, at a theme or spiritual project until revelation and deep meaning emerges. This is something to learn and imbibe from the Guru and fellow spiritual friends. These teachings will also touch on: how to practice the art of generosity which is such a swift path to freedom; what is a rich spiritual person? How do we become rich and strong? Teachings on the Wish Granting Gem and the Buddha's Wish Granting Tree; and the vanquishing of the poverty mind.

Lama Mark will also offer on Saturday morning a Zambala Yab-Yum empowerment from the Nyingma Tradition, a Guru Yoga practice.

The Tantric Meditation on the Unity of Generosity and Wisdom: Golden Zambala Yab-Yum

Dates: 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)

* One may attend the first week; the first and second weeks or the full three-weeks.

Buddhist Meditations on Realizing the Naturally Awake State

ANNUAL 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

The Western Mystical Path: teachings from St. John of the Cross

A 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.;

The Foundation of Buddhist Meditation: The Practice of Loving-kindness

"At the heart of all Buddhist meditation is the practice of Loving-kindness. Without a good foundation in loving-kindness many obstacles will occur to unfolding the union of wisdom and compassion. There is so much frustration, anger, rage and jealousy in us; these states of mind and body must be quenched, tamed and dissolved into a loving, open heart of clear mind. To love, we feel we must hold on, deeply grasp to ideas, objects, people and places- this is not necessary- and it causes suffering. We discover, the more we empty out all grasping and delusions, the more love for all life pours into us. ..." -Lama Mark

Location: Queenstown Dharma House

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.
