The Buddha stated\, “Hatred is not overcome by hate\, but only through love; this is the eternal law.” When the human heart\, trained in compassion\, is also devoted to divine love\, as embodied by Maharaji Neem Karoli Baba\, the mysterious power of Reality unfolds miracles. This Reality\, said Sri Nisagardatta\, “comes in the form of the unexpected.” In traversing from the initiatory lessons of 2020\, can we stay present to the unexpected? Could it be that the fusion of human and divine\, within our heart\, instills the courage needed to midwife the longed-for higher dream of life’s unfolding? \n  \nThanissara is a Buddhist practitioner for over 40 years\, spending 12 years as a nun in the Thai Forest School of Ajahn Chah. She is co-founder\, with her husband Kittisaro\, of Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat in South Africa\, and Sacred Mountain Sangha in California. Thanissara is a teacher\, author and poet; her most recent book is ‘Time To Stand Up’. Ram Dass\, and the grace of Neem Karoli Baba continue to be a guiding influence in Thanissara’s Dharma journey. www.sacredmountainsangha.org.

KK was a bridge of grace\, welcoming westerns with unbounded generosity that allowed them to connect to Maharaj-ji. He showed a purity of heart that involved unconditional love\, the dynamics of Indian family love\, and an expression of love found in the yoga of devotion\, known as bhav. He helped Ram Dass and the Satsang not only understand bhav\, but gave them practices to share it with others.

Triloka established itself as a critical leader in the development of world music and for 17 years was home to such artists as Krishna Das\, Hugh Masekela\, Walela\, Jai Uttal and transformational media projects that featured Ram Dass\, Deepak Chopra\, and Les Nubians. Currently he is the Executive Director of the Love Serve Remember Foundation and his Mindrolling Podcast is part of the Be Here Now Network. \n\nRameshwar Das met Ram Dass in 1968 soon after his return from India\, and learned yoga and meditation from him. He traveled to India and spent time with Neem Karoli Baba from 1970-1972. His working life has been primarily as a photographer\, including freelance work for the New York Times and other publications. He taught photography and photo-journalism\, and also worked as an environmentalist and writer.Ramesh collaborated on several projects with Ram Dass including the original collection of manuscripts that became ‘Be Here Now’ and the ‘Love Serve Remember’ box set of recordings. He is the co-author of Ram Dass’s newer books\, ‘Be Love Now’ and ‘Polishing the Mirror’\, and most recently Ram Dass’s memoir\, ‘Being Ram Dass’. \n\n  \nLayering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation\, Krishna Das spent the late ’60’s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass\, eventually leading him to his guru\, Neem Karoli Baba.

Perhaps the Buddhist “secret sauce” is conjoining love and even bliss with emptiness – a concept that is often misconstrued as nihilistic. Essentially emptiness is a way of saying that there is no fixed\, permanent structure or container for all that warmth\, affection; sympathy and interdependence that are essential elements of our basic being. There is nothing to hang on to and no one to hang on – or as Ram Dass would put it – “becoming nobody“. \nOne of the original American students of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche\, David’s journey has crisscrossed with the Maharaji/Ram Dass sangha for decades. He has produced multiple KD albums and frequently joins the Bhaktettes live on guitar. He considers himself to be a first cousin and honorary member of the Bhakti community! \nIn addition to talking about\, everything\, everybody\, nothing and nobody\, David will be sharing some stories about his experience of the intersection of the worlds of Trungpa Rinpoche and Ram Dass\, including the early days in the 1970s right up to the present\, and David’s work with the Maui Retreats over the past decade. \nThe workshop will include a dharma-ish talk by David\, open discussion\, and meditation practice. \n\nAbout David\nDavid Nichtern is a senior Buddhist teacher\, founder and CEO of Dharma Moon\, a BHNN Podcaster\, author of Awakening From the Daydream and Creativity\, Spirituality & Making a Buck\, and producer and guitarist for Krishna Das. He is a 4-time Emmy Award Winner\, two-time Grammy nominee\, and has worked with Jerry Garcia\, Stevie Wonder\, Christopher Guest\, Paul Simon\, and Lana Del Rey among many others.
