“The Tibetan Ri-Me tradition, which flourished in Tibet in the late 19th century, promotes a non-sectarian approach, encouraging respect for all Buddhist traditions. The Ri-Me tradition encourages a spirit of intellectual curiosity, respect, and openness in exploring the diverse landscape of Tibetan Buddhism, and the idea that the fundamental teachings of the Buddha are universal and accessible to all. In a time of polarization, this spirit encourages us to recognize the wisdom and interconnectedness of all beings, fostering dialogue and understanding rather than division.”
“During the retreat, instructions for the practice of Tonglen will be offered. Tonglen, a meditation practice that involves taking in the suffering of others and sending out compassion and healing, is a profound tool for cultivating compassion in our daily lives. This practice not only helps us develop a deep sense of empathy but also empowers us to actively engage in the well-being of others. By integrating Tonglen into our everyday interactions, we can promote compassion and contribute to a more harmonious and understanding world.”
