Description

In this retreat, Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche, one of the modern masters of the ancient Tibetan Bon Tradition, will teach a form of meditation known as  Zhi Ney (“calm abiding”), a fundamental mindfulness awareness practice.  Zhi Ney practice strengthens and improves our meditation, and settles and calms our mind.

Zhi Ney meditation practice is like flowing water through movement, attainment, familiarity, immovability, and perfection. It takes your mind, which is initially turbulent like a waterfall, through the stages of moving like a river in a deep gorge, to a gentle flow of a great river, training your thoughts to blend naturally and indivisibly with your mind, then like a pond undulating under a gentle breeze, and finally taking your mind to perfection like a calm ocean free of surface waves.
