Alan begins the retreat by thanking all the staff at ILTK, starting from the Director Filippo, his wife and everyone else who has been helping to offer such a wonderfully conducive environment. We will have teachings from the Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra – Alan has received the oral transmission of this text from Geshe Rabten. Alan also received the oral transmission of the other text he will be teaching on from Gyatrul Rinpoche, which highlights the union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen (Naked Awareness). Alan also said that he will show how the various traditions are complementary. Before the meditation, Alan then gives some brief instructions about the retreat structure.
The meditation is on Settling the Body, Speech and Mind in their natural states.
Meditation starts at 31:00
After the meditation, Alan touches on the differences between practicing Dharma and reaching an irreversible path. When we reach the path, we have set out in such a way that we will never fall back. He also gives a brief update about the wonderful property nearby which could soon become a place where people can achieve shamatha.
