“Illuminating the way of discipline,
Eternal ruler of the three worlds:
May the Great Eastern Sun be victorious.”
(Chögyam Trungpa)

This is not a vision external to us; it lies within our own already naturally awakened consciousness. 

The introduction of this sacred worldview is the starting point and energy that propels us into the second cycle of Shambhala teachings. The Great Eastern Sun is the first of five weekends in the Sacred Path series. The vision of the Great Eastern Sun is the entrance into connecting with the experience of the sacred world and continues the life-long journey of working to create an uplifted and sane society.

Prerequisite: Level 5, Open Sky. 

The course is taught in French.
