B. Alan Wallace, 06 Jan 2024
On Dakini Day, January 6, 2024, Lama Alan emerged from retreat silence for a few hours and continued this series of teachings. Once again, this was held in the stillness of Manjushri Chapel at Miyo Samten Ling with the yogis in long-term retreat present.
As we set out on our new year of Dharma practice, Lama Alan offered a talk entitled, “Stages of Practice on the Path to the Great Perfection.” At the request of one of his students, he began this talk by giving the Bodhisattva Vows, which are the foundation for all Mahayana practice, including Vajrayana and Dzogchen.
For those who wish to take these vows for the first time, and for those wishing to renew their vows, he encourages you to review the eighteen root downfalls and forty-six misdeeds, which are explained in a PDF that you will find on the media site. Of course, those who do not wish to take these vows at this time are still welcome to listen to the talk that follows.
