MAHAMUDRA: WISDOM FOR YOUR MIND AND BODY With Jessica Kung and Stephane Dreyfus

Mahamudra means the "Great Seal". It refers to the Buddhist concept of the true nature of reality. A mudra can be a specific hand gesture used to create a powerful circuit of energy in the body. By practicing Mahamudra, you make the great gesture of uniting the body and mind in order to transform your life.

THE MAHASUKHA CENTER (in Sanskrit: "great bliss") is the new home of the Asian Classics Institute of Los Angeles (ACI-LA), which is dedicated to bringing ancient wisdom to modern times. It provides a wide range of courses and events including guided meditations, Buddha dharma, teachings on spiritual partners, workshops by nationally known yoga teachers, and informal talks on a variety of subjects. The Center will become a community for anyone interested in yoga, dharma - particularly the integration of the two - and learning ideas and skills that will help them create lasting happiness in their lives.
