Tibetan prayer flags consist of five colors, each representative of an aspect of the enlightened mind. Together, they are known as the five Buddha Families or Wisdom Energies that make up the mandala of existence: Vajra (blue), Buddha (white), Padma (red), Karma (green), and Ratna (yellow).
In this new five-week course, we will explore these energies within ourselves through hatha yoga postures and meditation, with each of the classes emphasizing one of the energies. In time, we will become familiar with the blocked, neurotic patterns of these energies, as well as with the open and available wisdom inherent in each.
The course will run on Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am from April 11 to May 9.

- April 25: Padma (red)
- May 2: Karma (green)
- May 9: Ratna (yellow)

Description:
If you want to learn to meditate on the highest view of ultimate reality from authentic sources, this course is for you. This is a hands-on, experiential course with weekly meditation assignments. You’ll experience the techniques for meditation used by Buddhist Master Kamalashila (750 AD) from the Stages of Meditation (Bhavana Krama) and The King of Concentration Sutra by Lord Buddha (500 BC) as commented on by Je Tsongkapa.
The course is taught by James Connor and Dr. Lisette Garcia, who gained the lineage from Lama Christie McNally, who recently completed a three-year silent retreat in the Arizona desert. James and Lisette are long-time students of the ancient wisdom of Tibet and India, are certified meditation teachers from the Asian Classics Institute of New York and Diamond Mountain University in Arizona, and are excited about continuing to present the Bok Jinpa series.

What is the difference between what we profess we believe and what we actually do? We have a deeply rooted belief in
things. These are caused by doubt. We mst uproot our doubts in order to uproot this deeply rooted belief. And for this we need to develop the "eye of wisdom" in a deep state of meditation. This very profound course deals with the ways to fight our doubts and obstacles to realizing the wisdom of emptiness.
