Dzogchen and Mahamudra are harmoniously complementary. Their evocative styles offer us beautiful metaphors which can sweetly and poetically ease us out of our rigid concepts.

We will focus on two texts, the Mirror of Luminous Revelation, a dzogchen treasure text from Nuden Dorje Drophen Lingpa Drolo Tsal, and The Mahamudra Upadesha by Tilopa. New translations of the texts will be available at their cost price.

There will be plenty of time for practice.

James Low’s deep insight into the Dzogchen and Mahamudra teachings, his winning presence, and his profound understanding of human psychology – seasoned with a good sense of humour – make him an exceptional teacher.

James Low teaches in a clearly understandable English. It is recommend that you take part in the whole retreat.

Not included in the course fees is the dana for the teacher. On top of the course fees for Kamalashila Institute, the participants can make a donation (dana) to the teacher sometime during the retreat.

“Dana is given to express one’s gratitude for receiving the dharma. The giving of dana is a personal response, and the setting of a fixed amount would clash with this. Our meetings should express generosity, the flow of giving: we all give our time and energy to come, we give our focused attention to the study and practice, we give our warmth and availability to create a harmonious atmosphere… So within that field of giving people can, as they are moved to do so, give some dana which people can put in an envelope to be offered at a certain point.”   James Low

Please bring along an envelope for the dana.

Recommended arrival day: 18 October 2019 (please state this when registering)
