THE RIME FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO AUTUMN RETREAT TEACHINGS ON THE HEART OF BLISS AND CHAKRASAMVARA EMPOWERMENT WITH LAMA GLENN MULLIN RESIDENTIAL RETREAT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND NOVEMBER 23-25, 2007 CENACLE RETREAT AND CONFERENCE CENTER CHICAGO, ILLINOIS THE RIME FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to introducing Vajrayana Buddhist teachers to Chicago and sponsoring teaching and transmissions from all four Tibetan lineages. http://www.geocities.com/RimeFoundation/ email: [email protected] 773-784-9190 LAMA GLENN MULLIN LAMA GLENN MULLIN is a Tibetologist, author of over 25 books on Vajrayana Buddhism, translator of classical Tibetan literature, and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation. He divides his time between writing, teaching, meditating, and leading pilgrimages to the power centers of Central Asia. Glenn lived in the Himalayas for 12 years, where he studied philosophy, literature, meditation, yoga, and the enlightenment culture under thirty-five of the greatest living masters of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. His two principal Tantric gurus were the late great masters Kyabje Ling Dorjechang, and Kyabje Trijang Dorjechang, who were best known as Yongdzin Che Chung, the two main gurus of the present Dalai Lama. The list of Glenn’s other teachers and initiation masters includes the Dalai Lama, Sakya Trizin Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, Ngakpa Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche, Tai Situ Rinpoche, Khenchen Konchok Gyaltsen, Geshe Ngawang Dargyey, Geshey Rabten, and Gongsar Tulku. For more information on Glenn Mullin and his teaching or tour schedule see: http://www.glennmullin.com/ TEACHINGS ON THE HEART OF BLISS: TANTRIC INITIATION AND TEACHINGS ON THE CHAKRASAMVARA MANDALA OF TILBUPA, WITH SPECIAL CONNECTION TO THE SIX YOGAS OF NAROPA The Tantric path walks the razor's edge between the scared and profane, but holds the capacity for enlightenment in one lifetime. It is the secret way in which all objects of experience are brought into the Wheel of Bliss. In addition to the initiation and a general introduction to the Chakrasamvara Mandala practice, special attention will be given to dreams and dream yoga. Participants will learn how to cultivate a daily practice, and maintain Tantric awareness in all situations. 5 DEITY CHAKRASAMVARA EMPOWERMENT Heruka, Chakrasamvara, or the “Tantra of the Wheel of Supreme Bliss,” is a key practice for advanced students of Vajrayana Buddhism. Chakrasamvara is a Higher Tantra that contains within it the entire system of meditation and yogic practices that are a path to inner bliss. In general it is said that Tantric Buddhism is only appropriate for students of highest karmic capacity, i.e., for those who have cultivated basic Buddhist practice in this, or in previous lifetimes: please only apply for a seat in the retreat if you feel this describes you.
