Dorlop Rinpoche Dr. Lye from Urban Dharma in Asheville will offer a short retreat on how to safeguard the heart in these tumultuous times. This program will be held at Appalachian Dharma & Meditation Center in Johnson City, TN.
Dr. Lye will draw from Tibetan Buddhist teachings on cultivating awakened mind (bodhicitta) where radiating love and compassion for all beings is practiced alongside deepening recognition on the dream and illusory like nature of all phenomena.
Attendance is by donation/generous giving (dana) to support the efforts of Dr. Lye and ADMC.
We will have brief breaks during the program. The session will include teachings, guided meditation and Q&A.

Satsang is Sanskrit for 'Being in the company of truth’. We will come together in guided Meditation, a Talk and Sharing.
These times demand a strong Presence if we are to care as Love for the world right now. So let’s come together in truth and love, to connect as our true nature for ourselves and our world. This brings forward wisdom and compassion. Then naturally right action follows.
