Mahamudra - Heart of Wisdom

Three days of teaching and practice of the unique wisdom methods of Buddhist Tantra, including a White Manjushri empowerment

with Lama Glenn

May 28-30, 2026 | Live on Zoom

The Direct Path to Freedom

Buddhism teaches that the root of suffering in our lives comes from identifying with the wrong things - our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and all the ever-changing conditions of life. This mistaken identity, perceived as our "true self," prevents us from recognizing the infinite nature of our consciousness and keeps us in cycles of suffering.

Buddhist Tantra enables us to free ourselves from these mistaken identifications through skillful methods, allowing us to directly recognize and connect with the bliss, luminosity, and spaciousness that are the nature of our mind. In this way we can free ourselves from suffering and act in the world from a basis of compassion, joy, and wisdom.

In this retreat, Lama Glenn will teach the unique wisdom methods of Buddhist Tantra, based on the 18th-century song by the 7th Dalai Lama - "Entering Emptiness from All Four Directions". This song of realization is a practical roadmap for Mahamudra practice - the direct gaze into the nature of mind.

The retreat will include deep study of the text, practical guidance for meditation, a White Manjushri empowerment - the Buddha of Wisdom - and guided practice throughout the three days.

The retreat is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

White Manjushri Empowerment

The retreat includes an empowerment of White Manjushri - the supreme Buddha of Wisdom, embodying the wisdom of all Buddhas. The practice of White Manjushri is especially suited for wisdom practices, and assists in the rapid development of clarity and understanding of the nature of reality.

The empowerment opens the gateway to the practice and grants a direct connection to the lineage and its blessings.
