Open Course in the Vajra Dance that Benefits Beings
Taught by: Authorized Instructor Carisa O'Kelly
11/21 & 11/22
Shang Shung Institute Presents:
OPEN COURSE: The Dance of the Vajra can be learned and practiced by anyone who wishes, and as long as its origin and integrity are always acknowledged and respected it can be used as a method to enrich any spiritual path.
In the Dzogchen Teaching Vajra means our real nature, the true condition of all phenomena. This Dance of the Vajra is an important method which uses sound and movement as a means to integrate the three aspects of our existence – body, speech and mind – in the knowledge of our real nature. Twelve practitioners, six females and six males, dance together on a large mandala of five colors which symbolizes the correspondence between the internal dimension of the individual and the outer dimension of the world. The slow, coordinated movements, as we softly sing and practice awareness together, produce an experience of deep relaxation and a calm state of mind and help us integrate with the circumstances of the outer environment.
