Episode 150: The Purpose of Ritual

Today, we listen to a teaching Reggie offered on the purpose of ritual on the path of meditation. The context is a lhasang fire offering, a Vajrayana ritual often engaged at the beginning of retreats. He says that ritual is the primordial language used to communicate with the unseen world.

This talk was given at the 2010 Winter Dathün retreat held at the Blazing Mountain Retreat Center in Crestone, CO. To find out more about upcoming retreats, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
