July 13th Dialogue:
In this innovative dialogue with Dr. Reginald Ray, we will consider the application of Tibetan Buddhist practice for the Western practitioner of spirituality, and the benefits and challenges of applying Eastern practices to the Western psyche. We will also consider the importance of accessing consciousness within the body and integrating body-consciousness when envisioning a World Spirituality.
Dr. Reginald “Reggie” Ray brings us four decades of study and intensive meditation practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as a special gift for applying it to the unique problems, inspirations, and spiritual imperatives of modern people. He currently resides in Crestone, Colorado, where he is President and Spiritual Director of the Dharma Ocean Foundation, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the practice, study and preservation of the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the practice lineage he embodied.
