Second 100-day Retreat

January-April 2017

On January 1, 2017 I began a second 100-day meditation retreat in my Longmont studio. With additional support for my husband who has dementia, I was able to establish a schedule in the studio from approximately 5am-5pm each day. I continued to manage our household and the care team, yet was also able to conclude a particular meditation practice called Rigdzin Dupa. This practice involved 2,600,000 mantra recitations, and it is difficult to describe its profound effects. I made numerous attempts to give visual form to the practice, with images such as those included here.

Engaging the Three Wisdoms

February 21, 2016

This is a podcast where I explore the three wisdoms, as they are defined within Buddhist practice. Hearing wisdom, contemplative wisdom, and meditation wisdom are the categories I use for describing my Buddhist experience and dharma art. A transcription of the podcast is available on the Mangala Shri Bhuti LINK page. The full written text is available here.
