Awakening Dignity with Lama Bruce Newman
With Lama Bruce Newman
April 19 - 21, 2024
Awakening Dignity
The notion of dignity is crucial to the question of how to live a fulfilling life. Phakchok Rinpoche draws from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to offer an insightful answer to this question. Dignity is the innate purity of our heart that we naturally possess yet often fail to recognize in ourselves. To move through life with confidence, clarity, and compassion, we need only to access, stabilize, and embody unshakable trust in this inherent nature.
Our workshop will be comprised of introductions to the various aspects and stages of dignity along with the meditations Rinpoche teaches called ‘Dignity Training.’ There will also be ample time for questions and discussion.
This retreat is open to people of all backgrounds and levels of experience, and no previous experience with Tibetan Buddhism is necessary. Reviewing the book ahead of time is recommended. The book can be purchased online here.
Purchase of the book is highly recommended.
Information regarding online attendance will be announced end of January 2024.***
