B. Alan Wallace Retreat
The Four Immeasurables
March 7 - 9
Rime Buddhist Center
Kansas City, Missouri

This retreat will focus on meditation, with teachings, guided meditation and discussion. Featured will be a sequence of meditation practices designed to cultivate the Four Immeasurables – loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and impartiality. These practices will be followed by teachings on tonglen and Bodhichitta.

Dynamic lecturer, progressive scholar, and one of the most prolific writers and translators of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D., continually seeks innovative ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices with Western science to advance the study of the mind.

Dr. Wallace, a scholar and practitioner of Buddhism since 1970, has taught Buddhist theory and meditation throughout Europe and America since 1976. Having devoted fourteen years to training as a Tibetan Buddhist monk, ordained by H. H. the Dalai Lama, he went on to earn an undergraduate degree in physics and the philosophy of science at Amherst College and a doctorate in religious studies at Stanford.

With his unique background, Alan brings deep experience and applied skills to the challenge of integrating traditional Indo-Tibetan Buddhism with the modern world.
