RETREAT—Six Lokas

“Transforming our negative emotions through the Six Lokas”

 

Each of us suffers from strong emotions at one time or another, which throw us off balance, cause us to take actions that we later regret, and disconnect us from the clear, open space of our true nature.
Centuries ago, the masters of the Tibetan Bon Buddhism lineage developed the meditations of the Six Lokas (realms of existence) specifically to meet our strong emotions, find the medicine in them and live our lives in a balanced and relaxed way. These meditations focus on the root causes of our suffering: anger, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and laziness—the six destructive emotions that stand in the way of enlightenment. In each meditation, we reflect on our habitual patterns so that we can recognize them instead of being driven by them. Then we invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns so that their antidotes can be love, generosity, wisdom, openness, peacefulness and compassion arise. The practices of the Six Lokas have a deeply healing and transforming power and are traditionally practiced as a precursor to Dzogchen contemplation.

 

Tenzin Rinpoche invites everyone to explore these powerful teachings and apply them in our lives. During this retreat, Rinpoche will explain how physical movements, breath, mantra, visualization, and contemplation can deeply purify the seeds of our karmic patterns and support healing.
