WEST BATH — The Dzogchen Meditation Center, Ka-Nying Surmang Choling, is sponsoring an intensive meditation weekend Nov. 7-9.
“The Great Perfection —
An Introduction to Dzogchen Meditation” begins at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 and includes a full day of meditation on Saturday. The weekend concludes after Sunday lunch.
“Recognizing Awareness: The Key Point of Meditation Practice” will be the theme.
“The crucial point here is that wisdom, which abides as the ground of dharmakaya, is the primordial purity of the path of the yogins, the absolute view of freedom from all elaboration,” a news release from the center quotes Patrul Rinpoche saying. “Until you recognize this one point, then whatever meditation or practice you do, you can never get beyond a fabricated mind-made view and meditation.”
Dharma talks and individual instruction will be offered during the weekend. The price for the program is $100 and includes meals.
The center is located at 4 Armstrong Way. For more information, call (207) 607- 3392, email tashi@dzogchenmeditation.com or visit www.dzogchenmeditation.com.
