Retreat weekend based on the book Gesture of Great Love by Tarthang Tulku
Led by Jack Petranker
We are very happy that Jack Petranker agreed to lead a weekend retreat on Tarthang Rinpoche’s most recent book Gesture of Great Love in October. Jack is the principal editor of Gesture of Great Love. The retreat will focus on the concise concluding chapters of the book:
- Chapter 10: Time’s Dynamic
- Chapter 11: The Immediacy of the Instant
- Chapter 12: Beyond Regime-Time.
Living in the immediate instant has the potential to change the relation between knower and known, to open the world for warm, embracing hugs and showers of kisses.
