Departing for Enlightenment

Hello, gentle readers. I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip around the northeast. I'll be visiting relatives and also participating in a 9-day retreat at Kagyu Thubten Choling monastery. I am very excited about it. It will be mostly silent, except for dedicated talk times, which will be a fascinating experience, I'm sure. The focus of the retreat is mahamudra, which, as far as I know now, prior to the retreat, is a system of deep meditation. As it is a retreat, there will be no contact with the outside world, and so needless to say, I won't be blogging during the retreat. So, I bid you adieu, for now.
