Throughout the day, Matthew Small, Dorje Ling’s Program Director, will guide participants in shamatha (calm abiding) meditation with some exploration of vipassana (insight) meditation. Sessions will gradually lengthen, with supportive instruction drawn from Natural Liberation by Gyatrul Rinpoche, The Attention Revolution by B. Alan Wallace, PhD, and other sources.

"You must first practice hearing the Dharma, then contemplating it, then meditating upon it. If you don’t learn the Dharma first, then on what will you meditate? It will help you accomplish your own benefit and the benefits of others—in this life and future lives."

-Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche
