About Shravasti Meditation

…Shravasti Meditation is a modern, nonsectarian Buddhist curriculum designed by His Holiness the 37th Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. It serves as a universal practice path tailored specifically for 21st-century global practitioners that synthesizes elements from all three major Buddhist traditions – Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

…Shravasti Meditation is structured entirely around the Sutra on Mindfulness of Breathing (Anapanasati Sutta), containing the Buddha’s original instructions on breath. It integrates Shamatha (Calm Abiding) and Vipashyana (Insight Meditation), focusing heavily on continuous physical, vocal, and mental awareness across all actions – whether sitting, walking, or sleeping.

About Tsa Lung Exercises

…Tibetan Yoga Tsa Lung focuses on the health of the body and the mind, particularly with the channels and chakras (Tsa), and the internals winds (Lung). The Tsa Lung exercises result in a harmonization and purification of Tsa, Lung as well as the external & internal elements.

…Milarepa said “Tsa Lung is the best self-healing exercise, both physically and mentally.”

About the CLOSED Retreat

…Attendance commitment for the entire retreat is required.  That way, practitioners can interact and engage more with the monastics on these directly guided profound practices.

…Please contact DDSC at drikungdharmasuryainc@gmail.com if you are out of town participant for the entire in-person retreat and look for accommodation.

…Arrangement for overnight in-person retreatant stay can be made by emailing to DDSC.
