Unconditional Love, Part 3

Discovering the Great Perfection

This class continues to build upon the practices and teachings offered in Part 1 and Part 2. Part 3 will explore the awakening mind with practices which offer a direct experience of our true nature, which is Unconditional Love.

PLEASE SEE CLASS PREREQUISITES BELOW

Meditations in this class are drawn from the Dzogchen (Great Perfection) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, yet they are informed by modern psychology and designed for Western audiences. The instructions are quite clear and precise, and they easily can be adapted to anyone’s spiritual tradition or worldview.

Classes will include instruction, meditation practice, and time for Q&A.

As a handbook and guide, we will be using Awakening Through Love: Unveiling Your Deepest Goodness (2007) by Lama John Makransky. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain a copy. While reading a text is very useful, it is no substitute for practice. This class—and weekly meetings following the class— will offer the support needed to practice effectively.

Prerequisites for this class are Unconditional Love Part 1 and Part 2, or the equivalent experience. If you would like to participate in this class and have not yet met these prerequisites, please contact John directly at johnmb1948@hotmail.com.

Dates: 4 Sundays, Beginning April 21
Times: 2:00-3:30 pm
Hybrid Class: In person at the Meaningful Life Center and simultaneously on Zoom
