*About the Dharma Teacher:*
*Glenn H. Mullin (Ngapka Maitri Zopa)* is a world renowned Tibetologist,
Buddhist teacher and writer, and translator of classical Tibetan literature.
He has authored more than two dozen books on Tibetan Buddhist culture,
Tibetan Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhist art.  Most of his books have been
translated into a dozen languages. He studied in the Himalayas for almost
two decades with many of the greatest lamas alive at the time and is well
versed in Zen Buddhist Practices and meditation which he transmits to his
students in an entertaining and clear manner.  Glenn has taught Buddhist
meditation and philosophy in more than 20 countries around the world. His
clear method and language makes it easy for Western practitioners to apply
timeless mindfulness teachings and meditation practices to their everyday
lives.

Glenn presently lives in Mongolia, where he is helping to rebuild the
traditional culture. He is the chief fund-raiser and project director for
the restoration of the Mongolian residence of the great Russian-born New
York artist and writer Nicholas Roerich, one of the early luminaries of the
theosophical movement.   Roerich became the first Buddhist to be nominated
for the Nobel Peace Prize (1929) and his “Roerich Peace Pact” was signed by
President Roosevelt and 25 world leaders in 1935.  His place is now known
as the Shambhala Museum and Art Institute.

This year, Lama Glenn will be offering
*The Seventh Dalai Lama's Oral Transmission on The Way of the Bodhisattva: *
*CULTIVATING THE MIND OF LOVE.  *

*The Seventh Dalai Lama* (1708-1757) is often considered to be one of the
greatest of the early Dalai Lamas. He wrote extensive commentaries on the
Tantras, and over a thousand mystical poems and prayers. His *Meditations to
Transform the Mind* is a highly valued collection of spiritual advice for
taming and developing the mind.  *The Seventh Dalai Lama*'s rich spiritual
writings and oral transmissions are direct and arresting, giving clear
advice on the essence of Buddhist practice and the *Bodhisattva's Path*. In
particular, the oral transmission lineages coming from him after his
enlightenment serve as *easy guides to Buddhist spirituality, both for
meditation and for "being in the world."* His social activism gave shape to
the Tibet that came into the modern era. During this Retreat, *Lama Glenn
Mullin* will provide valuable and easy to understand teachings on *The
Seventh Dalai Lama's Oral Transmission on The Way of the Bodhisattva:
Cultivating The Mind Of Love*, making them really accessible to
Westerners.

*Bodhicitta*, means “*mind of enlightenment*" or "*mind of love*”. In
Buddhism, bodhicitta is the wish to attain complete enlightenment in order
to be of benefit to all sentient beings. One who has bodhicitta as the
primary motivation for all of his or her activities is called a
Bodhisattva.  This one day retreat looks at the manner in which the *Great
Seventh* *abbreviated all Buddhist practice into Five Factors**:*

   1. *Universal Love, *
   2. *Meditation, *
   3. *Wisdom, *
   4. *Joyous Presence, and *
   5. *Dedication.  *

COME LEARN HOW TO DEVELOP AND CULTIVATE THE MIND OF LOVE AND
OPEN YOUR HEART AND LIFE TO
TRUE LOVE,  JOY, WISDOM, ENLIGHTENMENT, AND ONENESS
TO ALL THAT IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL BEINGS
