Lama Chopa
Lama Chopa is a complete guru yoga practice integrating aspects of sutra and tantra into a common framework, based on Gelek Rimpoche’s commentary Guru Devotion – Open Teachings: Integrating the Primordial Mind. Fall classes will cover preliminaries including refuge, bodhimind, and the four immeasurables; generating the supreme field of merit; and the seven-limb practice. (This course is also being offered as a streamed online course from Ann Arbor on Mondays.) Our course leads up to the Jewel Heart Winter Retreat which is also on the Lama Chopa. Open to all.
