Profound Treasury Events


Bodhichitta is absolute nonaggression, the epitome of nonaggression. It is peace without
reward, and openness without feedback. You are simply open. The quality of gentleness and peace in the bodhisattva’s approach is absolutely devastating. — Chögyam Trungpa

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. — Desmond Tutu

There is hope in people. Not in society, not in systems, but in you and me. — Krishnamurti

 

This year’s retreat is an exploration of how to obtain “peace.” The idea of brokering peace means negotiating personal views with shared views on what is acceptable to keep harmony between humans and their environment.

These challenging times have intensified the friction between personal peace, environmental peace, economic peace, and cultural peace. The idea of peace as a shared reality seems hopeless, given the chasms that separate us on issues of politics, culture, gender, and race. Our endeavors for peace often seem to perpetuate distance rather than understanding.

How can we allow, maintain, and create space for clarity when it so quickly becomes crowded with chaos and pain from wars, economic strife, and trauma – both personal and collective? How can Buddhist teachings and practices help with such challenges?

Our main emphasis at this year’s retreat will be on the lojong teachings. The practice of lojong or “mind training” is based on expressing our practice through compassionate and effective actions. It challenges us to show up authentically and to be curious as to how to actively engage in the world. Lojong challenges us to take on difficulties and awaken our hearts.

At this time in our human development our gaze must be raised. Rather than merely envisioning peace, we are now called upon to engage with the world in a way that awakens peace.
