Schedule
Thursdays:
Thursday evening classes will be Journey Without Goal: An Introduction to Vajrayana. Based on a series of lectures given by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche at The Naropa Institute in 1974, this course introduces the student to the principles of trantra, based on the practice of meditation, which leads to the discovery of egolessness. The course will utilize video tapes from the lecture series, as well as readings from the book "Journey Without Goal, The Tantric Wisdom of Buddhism" by Chogyam Trunpa. For more information contact Robert Walker at dharmagroup@aol.com.

Shambhala Training Level 1: The Art of Being Human
9:30am-5pm Saturday; 8:30am-4:30pm Sunday.
900 Peeler St., Kalamazoo, MI
Shambhala Training is a series of contemplative workshops suited for both beginning and experienced meditators. It is about how to establish and sustain a path of mindfulness-awareness meditation as the basis for our approach to livelihood, family, education, politics, and community. The schedule will include sitting and walking mindfulness meditation instruction, meditation practice, talks by the director, and group discussions. There will also be short individual consultations with an experienced instructor — an opportunity to address questions about meditation practice or the application of these teachings in our lives. Originally developed by Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche — a great Tibetan Buddhist teacher — these workshops are designed for and have benefited individuals who practice various spiritual traditions and secular ways of life.
Fee: $100 ($75 students, $10 discount for pre-registration with $25 deposit by May 3). To register contact: Robert Walker at 269-384-4167 or email dharmagroup@aol.com.
