CANCELLED! SMS Base: Establishing the Views with Elio Guarisco

Chapter 5 from the PRECIOUS VASE on Establishing the Views

Elio will cover in detail the precise characteristics and differences of the nine vehicles comprising sutra, tantra and Dzogchen in the PRECIOUS VASE by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, the base text for Santi Maha Sangha training.

Different spiritual pursuits exists. These are based on characteristic views about the world and the absolute. The views form the bases upon which the spiritual pursuits unfold as meditation and behavior in the individual's life. However, most views are somewhat framed by limited theories and concepts making the spiritual pursuit contrived and un-yielding. Yet to learn the key points of these views make us more aware of the shortcomings of how we seek the truth and make the Dzogchen approach shining in our mind, beyond phantasies and intellectualizations: our spiritual guest becomes unconfused and clearcut, uncompromising and genuine, understood and lived concretely in each moment of our life.

Cost: $120 with member discounts, $30 per session.

Elio Guarisco born near Como, Italy, approached Buddhism in the early seventies in India where he learned Buddhist meditation in the Vipassana tradition stemming from Burma, with various masters. Later, he studied and practiced Tibetan Buddhism as a youth, living ten years in a monastery in Switzerland with a 'philosophical adviser' of His Holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama. He has collaborated closely with masters and fellow scholars on translation of important works, notably Jamgon Kongtrul 's Treasury of Knowledge, under the aegis of the late Kalu Rinpoche. Elio is an authorized meditation instructor in the world-wide Dzogchen Community founded by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, his main teacher. Elio is one of the principal translators for the Ka-Ter Translation project of the Shang Shung Institute. He lives in Como, with his wife and children when he is not traveling for work and teaching.
