SUMMARY:Accessing the Unconditional Love and Wisdom of Our Buddha Nature
DESCRIPTION:Teachers: John Makransky and Jessie Morey\nEvent Type: In-person retreat\nDates: December 4 to December 7 (arrive on 12.4 from 3-5 pm; depart after lunch 12.7 at 1:30pm).\nLocation: Potash Hill\, 2582 South Road\, Marlboro\, VT 05344\nhttps://www.potashhill.org/ \nFor information and registration:\nhttps://jessicamorey.org/events/makransky-dec-retreat/ \nDescription:\nFrom a Tibetan Buddhist perspective\, our buddha nature is the boundless space of awareness\, warmth\, and wisdom that is always present beneath our conditioned patterns of thought and reaction. This retreat introduces three modes of meditation—receptive\, deepening\, and inclusive—drawn from Tibetan Buddhism and supported by insights from modern psychology. These meditations are designed to help us realign with our innate buddha qualities\, making us into a profoundly healing environment for all parts of ourselves and others\, from which to hold all in a sustaining power of compassion and wisdom. \nThis retreat is both for Buddhist practitioners and for people of all faiths who have previous contemplative experience and seek an accessible way to cultivate unconditional love and wisdom. The weekend will include explanation of the principles of the practice\, guided meditations\, Q&A\, and discussion. Noble silence will be practiced. \nPrerequisites:\nAt least two years of daily contemplative practice (meditation or prayer). And before the retreat\, please read How Compassion Works or as much of it as possible. Meditation handouts will be provided. \nBios:\nJohn Makransky\, PhD\, has been Associate Professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College\, Senior Academic Advisor for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche’s Center for Buddhist Studies in Nepal\, Contemplative Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute\, and President of the Society of Buddhist-Christian studies. John has published books and articles that focus on connections between devotion\, compassion\, and wisdom in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism\, on adapting Buddhist practices to meet contemporary minds\, and on theoretical issues in interfaith learning\, including Buddhahood Embodied (1997)\, Buddhist Theology (2000)\, Awakening through Love (2007)\, and How Compassion Works (2025). In 2000 John was ordained as a Lama in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism\, and since then has taught meditations of innate compassion and wisdom to modern Buddhists\, people of diverse faiths\, and those in caring professions to empower their spiritual paths\, lives and work. For that\, John developed the Sustainable Compassion Training model (https://sustainablecompassion.org/). \nJessica Morey is a Buddhist meditation teacher with over three decades of practice. Rooted in the Insight Meditation tradition and trained in Burmese Vipassana (Mahasi style)\, she also draws from Tibetan Vajrayana lineages through study with John Makransky\, Dr. Dan Brown\, and Reggie Ray. Her teaching integrates deep Dharma practice with psychological and somatic healing modalities—including Internal Family Systems\, Somatic Experiencing\, and attachment-based approaches. Jess brings a warm\, grounded approach to helping people weave Dharma into the fabric of their work and relationships. Before teaching full-time\, she worked in clean energy and climate finance\, and later founded Inward Bound Mindfulness Education and the Contemplative Semester.

SUMMARY:Being Harmonized With the Unconditional Love and Wisdom of Our Buddha Nature
DESCRIPTION:Teacher: John Makransky\nEvent Type: In-person three day retreat\nOrganization: Holy Wisdom Monastery\, Middleton\, WI \nInformation and registration:\nhttps://holywisdommonastery.org/event/being-harmonized-with-unconditional-love/ \nRegistration will begin in June\, 2025 \nFrom a Tibetan Buddhist perspective\, our buddha nature is the basic space of our being that is undivided from vast capacities of awareness\, warmth\, love\, compassion and wisdom. These capacities are always available below our surface consciousness\, but often hidden by our conditioned habits of thought and reaction. In this retreat\, we will learn three modes of practice derived from Tibetan Buddhism that empower each other as they harmonize us with those innate capacities. The receptive mode generates a field of care that helps us find immediate access to unconditional qualities of love and wisdom from the depth of our awareness (our buddha nature). In the deepening mode\, we let those qualities help the mind settle into their source—the non-conceptual openness\, simplicity\, clarity\, and compassionate warmth of our buddha nature. In the inclusive mode we come from that depth of being to recognize others in their depth\, and to include them in those unconditional qualities of openness and compassion. This contemplative process also empowers our ability to discern the empty\, constructed nature of our experiences\, freeing the mind for further access to its innate awakening capacities. \nIn this retreat\, we will adapt this pattern of practice from Tibetan Buddhism\, with some assistance from modern psychology\, to make it accessible both for Buddhist practitioners and for people of all faiths who have contemplative practice experience and seek not just an intellectual dialogue with Buddhism but a deep experiential encounter with it that might freshly illumine analogous depths of their own tradition. \nGuided meditations\, Q&A and discussion. Prerequisites: At least two previous years of regular contemplative practice (meditation\, ritual or prayer). Before the retreat\, please read John’s book Awakening through Love (Wisdom\, 2007) or How Compassion Works (co-authored with Paul Condon\, Shambhala\, 2025)\, or as much of it as possible.
