Details of this retreat
Pointing Out the Mind Itself: A Teaching on the Third Karmapa’s Prayer for Mahamudra
Join Younge Khachab Rinpoche for a rare and profound teaching on The Aspiration Prayer of Mahamudra by the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje, one of the most essential texts in the Kagyu lineage and a direct gateway into the heart of awakening.
This prayer is not just poetry. It is pith instruction. Each verse reveals the ground, path, and fruition of Mahamudra, the nature of mind that is empty and luminous, beyond fabrication, already complete.
In this special session, Rinpoche will guide students through the deeper meaning of the text:
How confusion arises through not recognizing mind’s nature
How to settle the mind and directly see its empty clarity
How realization matures into compassion and freedom
For students of Mahamudra, Dzogchen, or Vajrayana in general, this teaching is a powerful mirror—pointing us back to what is always present, yet rarely recognized.
Live Online Sessions:
Saturdays and Sundays, August 9, 10 & 30, 31
6:30 AM Pacific Time (8:30 AM Central Time)
Translator: Erik Drew
A link to the live series will be shared on the day of the events, and digital recordings will be available for later viewing.
Suggested Donation: $100
(Includes access to both live teachings and digital recordings)
