Milarepa is one of the most renowned practitioners in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and most beloved by lay people. The story line of his life encompasses his difficult childhood, his vengeance seeking adolescence and young adulthood, his turning away from the “black arts” with repentance for his past deeds, his embrace of the Dharma Path, his conflicted and difficult relationship with his Dharma teacher, and his sincere and committed meditation practice that ultimately flowers with enlightenment. Overall a life that demonstrates that no matter what the “baggage,” healing and transformation is available to everyone.
Milarepa’s life has been an inspiration to Dharma practitioners for centuries, with most of his preserved teachings in the form of poems that he spontaneously sang to those who came to him for teachings. These Dharma song poems are true jewels of the Buddhist tradition and along with his life story were the subject of the Dharma Talks given by Fred at this four-day retreat.

“The Great Way is nor difficult for those who do not pick and choose. When preferences are cast aside, the Way stands clear and undisguised.” With this direct challenge to the reader, the Third Chinese Zen Patriarch begins his much loved and revered, “Verses on Trust in the Mind.” In verse form, the Third Patriarch in a profound and insightful, yet decidedly simple and accessible, manner sets forth the way to living a life of freedom.
This classic text of pre-koan Zen/Ch’an Buddhism introduces us directly into the world of the Buddha Mind and shows us step by step how to live an awakened life in all circumstances of daily life. Unencumbered by any philosophical or religious overlay, the naked truth of enlightened living is presented in utter simplicity and relevance.
Fred taught this text to participants at a seven-day retreat at Southern Dhama Retreat Center near Asheville, NC, drawing on his meditative experience in the Zen, Dzogchen (Great Perfection), and Plum Village traditions, as well as his many years as a professional psychotherapist.
