Pointing Out Instructions

In the the Dzogchen and Mahamudra tradition, the practice of receiving pointing out instructions is a very important way through which practitioners are able to experience the nature of their mind.

These 'instructions' are not necessarily instructions, or techniques, as much as an introduction to the natural state. What does this mean? This means that the natural state, or the authentically liberated primordially pure essence of mind, is not 'created' or 'made' through practice instructions. Rather, it is experienced in all of it's clarity and glory as it is, sometimes in the most ordinary and mundane circumstances and manner.

During this event Lama Justin will offer pointing out instructions followed by meditation and then a check-in/Q&A followed by pointing out instructions offered a second time, followed by meditation and a final check-in/Q&A.
