White Crane, White Swan —
Zen Buddhism & Advaita Vedanta
A Weekend Retreat
with Babaji Bob Kindler, SRV Spiritual Director
June 27 – 30th <> Honokaa, Hawaii
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.
Join us for 3 full days at our beautiful Hawai’I ashram overlooking the Pacific ocean. Surrounded by lush vegetation and the tropical sounds of frogs, birds, and the native chuckling gecko, we will dive deeply into the nondual Wisdom & Devotion that transcends the beauty of nature and leads to abiding peace, contentment, bliss, and realization of our birthless, deathless Self.
