University Open Air: What is Chod (cutting your ego)?

We live in a conceptual world full of hope and fear, yet we mostly focus on the past and future. Why is there so much anger, destruction and unhappiness in life? Chod is a famous healing practice on the Himalayan plateau. For this session, Dr. Chok will discuss the practice of Chod and perform a short healing session. He will also teach how to meditate through conducting a guided meditation session. 

Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam is a Tibetan yoga and mindfulness instructor with over ten years traveling, spreading teachings about Tibetan yoga and meditation methods. Additionally, he has over a decade of background and Buddhist knowledge of physical and mental healings. Moreover, he has translated more than 30 books and many articles into English or into Tibetan.
