Event 2
Mind Training: Parting from the Four Attachments
Friday, April 29 - 7:30 p.m.
Registration Fee: $10 per person
“[Parting] from the Four Attachments addresses the topic of training the mind. The purpose of the mind training teachings is to make the mind flexible, or pliable -- that is, to soften our habitual rigidity...’
‘The teaching on Parting from the Four Attachments is universally regarded as one of the jewels of Tibetan Buddhism...Great emphasis is placed on developing a depth of feeling toward the faults of samsara, as well as the heartfelt love and compassion necessary to truly give rise to altruism.” (Taken from Chogye Trichen Rinpoche, Parting from the Four Attachments, Snow Lion, 2003)
Reservations Required. Seating is limited. This Mind Training teaching is given in a private home in Miami Beach. Please email us or call 786-263-3047 for reservations. If sending an email, please be sure to provide your phone number.

Event 3
Green Tara Empowerment and Teaching
Sunday, May 1 - 1:00 to 4:00 p.m
Registration Fee: $10 per person
The practice of Green Tara helps to overcome fear and anxiety and eliminate suffering of all kinds. Tara brings happiness and can also grant wishes. Green Tara, when called upon, saves us from eight specific obscurations (defects or flaws): Pride, Delusion, Hatred, Envy, Fanatical Views, Avarice, Lust, and Demons/Doubts.
During the retreat we will focus on the Green Tara practice including meditation, visualization, and mantra recitation. This is a great opportunity to make a connection with Green Tara for new practitioners or to renew and enhance your current Green Tara practice.
Practitioners who have previously received the Green Tara Empowerment Initiation from Lama Migmar are encouraged to attend as this event will help deepen and perfect your Green Tara practice.
Reservations Required. Seating is limited. This Green Tara teaching is given in a private home in Miami’s Upper Eastside. Please email us or call 786-263-3047 for reservations and location details. If sending an email, please be sure to provide your phone number.
