Welcome to Dharma Ocean
The Dharma Ocean Foundation offers us the chance to live within the brilliance of our deepest lives. Within our Buddhist lineage, meditation is the primary way to uncover this radiance, and the foundation offers a wide range of retreats and programs in the sitting practice of meditation. Introductory events include Meditating with the Body and Winter Dathün, both of which occur annually in Crestone, Colorado. Dr. Reginald A. Ray and his senior students share Dharma Ocean teachings with beginning practitioners at City Sanghas and other locations around the globe.

 

 

Spirituality of the Body: Fall & Winter Teaching Tour

"To be awake, to be enlightened, is to be fully and completely embodied. To be fully embodied means to be at one with who we are, in every respect, including our physical being, our emotions, and the totality of our karmic situation."  —Reggie Ray. 

 

Listen to audio from Reggie's most recent teaching tour, "Explorations of Tibetan Tantra," which concluded in January 2010.  The next opportunity to study with Reggie will be Dathün in December 2010/January 2011.
