SUMMARY:THE DEEP PATH OF MEDITATION IN TIBETAN BUDDHISM: SAMATHA\, VIPASSANA AND THE CORE INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION:Teachings by: MIKE BORTOLOTTI \n\n\n\nDate: FRI-SUN / 23 – 25 MAY \n\n\n\nTime: Friday: 19:30 – 21:00 hrs.\, Sat/Sun: 10:00-12:00 & 14:30-16:30 hrs. \n\n\n\nPlace: Sakya Thegchen Ling\, Den Haag/The Netherlands \n\n\n\nLanguage: EN \n\n\n\nAvailable translations: NL \n\n\n\n\nCosts: € 11 (per session)/€ 55 (per weekend)\, for minima € 5 (per session)/€ 25 (per weekend).

Intellectual knowledge is indispensable to understand the right path\, but if it is not accompanied by an authentic meditative experience\, we will not be able to control our mind and disturbing emotions. Integrating knowledge and meditation is the secret of spiritual development. This has allowed many practitioners to achieve realisation. At the same time\, this is the biggest challenge for Westerners\, who tend to get lost\, intellectual knowledge is then at best combined with a weak meditative ability. \n\n\n\nDuring this weekend\, we study the main meditative methods of Tibetan Buddhism and learn to distinguish the different approaches. We start with instruction on Samatha\, the basis of all meditation\, and then cover Vipassana\, the transcendental insight. Samatha and Vipassana finally lead to the deep core instructions\, through which we train ourselves to dwell in open awareness and recognise the true nature of mind. \n\n\n\nReference texts: \n\n\n\nSelf Liberating Meditation\, Patrul Rinpoche. \n\n\n\nMeditation in the Himalayan Buddhist Tradition\, Khorchak Tulku Rinpoche. \n\n\n\nClick here to register
