Every aspect of our existence is permeated by bliss. However, out of habit, we misunderstand the very essence of who we really are. We are distracted by mind’s projections instead of resting in mind’s nature. True Bliss isn’t an experience, experiences come and go. But authentic bliss is always available. This bliss (called Mahasukha in Sanskrit or Dewa Chenpo in Tibetan) transcends circumstances and conditions; it is the indestructible nature of our being.
Much has been written about this important aspect of the Vajrayana path. What is a Guru? Is it necessary to have one? How do I find one? And what do I do after I find one? Join us in meditation and discussion as we explore this topic through our reading of Shenpen Hookham’s book The Guru Principle and Dzongsar Khyentse’s The Guru Drinks Bourbon. Zoom only Thursdays and Fridays teaching by Matthew Zalichin.
