SADHANA OF MAHAMUDRA
The Sadhana of Mahamudra is an important practice given to us by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the founder of Shambhala. This practice is a binding factor for our community. A combination of chants and meditation contains the essential teaching  that the practice itself can undercut any notion of spiritual materialism. It is done on the day of the new moon. Open to all meditators.
Lasts about an hour.
Dates: Jan 9-Portland, March 9-Portland, April 7- Brunswick, May 6- Brunswick, June 5- Portland
