Today, on the Winter Solstice 2022 Lama Dashün completes the first of his 2 year retreat at the Hermitage of the Awakened Heart. Tucked away in a meditation hut in a field neighbouring Lama Shenpen's labrang and the Stupa, Lama Dashün has been in retreat since the last Winter Solstice.
This is his second long term retreat after completing a full year in solitude back in 2018.
When not in retreat, Lama Dashün is active as a Discovering the Heart of Buddhism and Trusting the Heart of Buddhism mentor as well as leading the Insight into Emptiness area of the Living the Awakened Heart training.
His background is in the service industry and later, creative education. He has an interest in studying the early Buddhist sources and bringing his study and reflections on the wider tradition into the Discovering the Heart of Buddhism materials. You can watch a short clip from his teachings in 2021.
