White Crane, White Swan —
Zen Buddhism & Advaita Vedanta
A Memorial Day Weekend Retreat
with Babaji Bob Kindler, SRV Spiritual Director
May 23 – 27th <> Wind River region, WA
In SRV Associations, Babaji presents Lord Buddha’s teachings as part of a comprehensive understanding of the Advaitic, non-dual Wisdom and Yogic pathways to Freedom that Mother India supplies in abundance. Buddhist philosophy is known to have influenced Patanjali’s Yoga sutras. Gaudapada, the great commentator of the Mandukyo Upanisad, and Nagarjuna, the illustrious Buddhist sage and philosopher, both influenced Buddhist and Vedantic schools. Babaji Bob Kindler, who holds a dual spiritual heritage via initiation into the Ramakrishna lineage and Kagyu Tibetan Buddhism, will present essential and practical teachings for our inspiration, deeper insight, and daily practices.
This retreat is our first to take place on the sprawling properties of Windwood Waters in the Columbia Gorge. The main lodge where classes will be held is situated in the forest above the Wind River. The lodge has been remodeled from its earlier homestead days – natural wood beams and columns, plentiful windows, and the sunken fireplace area all make for a unique, rustic and comfortable setting – a perfect modern forest ashram for our time in holy company.
