There are important phases in our lives: the waking state, meditating, dreaming, dying, and the after-death experience. During this weekend retreat, Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche will elucidate the dream state. He will teach us how to recognize a dream as a dream, how to transform the dream, and how to continue to abide in naturally present luminosity. Rinpoche will also explain how to transition from dreaming to daytime experience. Rinpoche will guide us in Dream Yoga meditation and Pristine Mind meditation throughout the weekend.
