Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse

This year’s journey will also cross the path of a full solar eclipse. In the context of the symbolism of the Vajrayāna, the eclipse is the expression of Rāhula, the mythical figure who devours the sun and moon, symbolizing the dissolution of all the elements and dualistic concepts into the innately blissful, clear, and nonconceptual nature of mind. This day will be a focal point of the journey, and will be used to point out the various themes of the practices we will be exploring.
