In the past\, people ‘showed up’ for dharma teachings\, regardless of topic. The teachings given were inspired by the energy of the people there. In the spirit of Guru Yoga this course will be relatively unorganised\, undetermined and unregulated. So\, think of this weekend like a challenge – what will happen if you have no idea what will be taught\, where the teachings might flow\, how the spirit will move? In tantrayana\, guru yoga is considered the pinnacle practice – and our Western egos tend to have a hard time with this. So\, throw down the glove! Are you willing to take this leap of faith.

He also received teachings from the 16th Karmapa and other Tibetan Rinpoches\, as well as from the Ven. Sayadaw U Thila Wunta and from a Master of the Western Mystery School.

So\, think of this weekend like a challenge – what will happen if you have no idea what will be taught\, where the teachings might flow\, how the spirit will move? In tantrayana\, guru yoga is considered the pinnacle practice – and our Western egos tend to have a hard time with this. So\, throw down the glove! Are you willing to take this leap of faith.
