Vajra Retreat

Part 1, Song of the Vajra Retreat

Wow, what a great retreat with new and old faces!
The first week (Song of the Vajra Part I) had cool breezes wholesome 
foods and a music night (saxophone, harmonica, guitar and ukulele).
Anya Neyman is loved for her patience, good cheer and profound teaching
of the practice. We all focused our energies to learn well and apply.
We also shared gourmet treats and good times within the spacious 
peace of the mountains. More pictures and slide show coming soon!

March Vajra Dance Course in Todos Santos

Six Space of Samantrabhadra 
Vajra Dance Course
March 22/23 Weekend in Todos Santos

Vajra Dance is a meditation in movement based on the Song of Vajra and other mantras found in the original Tantras of Dzogchen. It is practiced on a Mandala that represents the correspondence between the internal dimension of the individual and the external dimension of the world. The Vajra Dance uses sound and movement to harmonize the energy of the individual and to integrate the three existences of body, voice, and mind in the knowledge of the real condition, in the state of contemplation.  To register  please contact tsegyalgarwestsecretary@gmail.com www.Tsegyalgarwest.org

May all sentient beings realize their basic goodness
and reach complete enlightenment in this very lifetime!

Losar Auspicious Wishes

Losar La Tashi Deleg Su!  

Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Horse!


May all the external obstacles related to health and prosperity,
the internal obstacles related to mental disturbances,
and the sacred obstacles related to spiritual development dissolve.
And may all happiness, prosperity, and spiritual growth flourish like the waxing moon.
