SUMMARY:Bringing the Mind to Rest - Alan Muller
DESCRIPTION:“If\, when relaxed completely\, one observes what happens\, this very act in itself produces strength” – Jetsun Milarepa \nA long weekend of guided meditations\, contemplations\, and exploring the above Milarepa quote. \nThere will be time to relax or go for walks\, or to just be. \nMilarepa was is Tibet’s most famous yogi. As a youth\, he practised black magic and killed many enemies of his family. Later\, feeling remorseful\, he met his Guru Marpa and underwent great hardships\, wearing only a simple cotton cloth and sustaining himself on nettles while meditating in high mountain caves\, with such fierce determination that he gained the supreme accomplishment within that very lifetime. He gave secret mantra vehicle instructions to his disciples and composed many songs of realisation. \nFacilitator:\nThe retreat will be led by Alan Muller who took refuge in 1997 with Akong Rinpoche. In 2003\, he completed a one-year closed retreat under the guidance of Lama Yeshe Rinpoche at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. During this period\, he took novice monk’s vows.
