Underlying Tibetan Buddhist Chod meditation is the practice of Troma Nagmo, the black, wrathful dakini. Troma Nagmo’s meaning and practice is explained in terms of the ultimate view of reality in the Dakini’s Secret Tantra. It explores how to cut through limited concepts to experience expansive freedom, but without spiritual bypassing. Thus it explores the line been the vast views of intrinsic wisdom, and the practicality of working with dualistic experience. Join Lama Pema Khandro, Ph.D. for three days of deep dharma study, meditation, and dharma conversation.

“Tibetan Buddhism highlights the interconnectedness of our body and mind. Buddhists carry the wish to be sane, kind and present. That can be difficult when the body is pain, when the mind is racing or when moods are unpredictable. Therefore utilizing Tibetan Medicine principles can help to reduce obstacles to Buddhist meditation and practice.” Pema Khandro
