Day of Mahamudra Practice

Saturday, June 20, 2026

9:00 to 3:00 PM
Vajra Vidya Portland Shrine Room

Please join us for a one-day silent meditation retreat focused on the profound practice of Mahamudra, with selected readings from Clarifying the Natural State by Dakpo Tashi Namgyel. In our tradition, Mahamudra is regarded as a direct and supreme path to awakening because it points us toward recognizing the mind’s innate luminous and empty nature.

This day of practice is suitable for anyone who is already experienced with Buddhist meditation, such as shamatha, and may feel too intensive for beginners. 

Participants are asked to please remain in silence throughout the retreat, bring a vegetarian lunch, and avoid coming and going from the shrine room during the day.

No advance registration is necessary.

There is no set fee to attend; donations of any amount are gratefully accepted.
