The Nature of Mind - Achieving Great Bliss through Pure Awareness

This ancient Tibetan Meditation practice teaches you to enter the state of Pure Awareness that leads to peace, joy, and ultimately, to full realization. Until the 20th century, these ancient teachings were kept secret and were offered to very few students of any generation.

In this interactive course, the renowned Tibetan Lama, teacher and author, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will guide you through each of the five steps of the meditation. This is a rare opportunity to receive personal guidance from Rinpoche, having your practice-related questions answered by him throughout the three-week Workshop.

You will learn to progressively expand and deepen your state of conscious awareness, until you transcend the level of the ordinary mind, becoming one with the universal consciousness, or what in Tibet is called the Clear Light. This is the state that spiritual masters throughout the centuries have spoken about. It is the state from which true Bliss arises.

This practice transports the practitioner directly into the nature of mind, which is our true essence.

The Meditation of Great Bliss through Pure Awareness is based on the Fivefold Teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen, a Bön meditation master who lived in the 8th century AD. He was the 24th master in a continuous and unbroken Bön Dzogchen lineage of masters.

Vision is mind.
Mind is empty.
Emptiness is clear light.
Clear light is union.
Union is great bliss.

In the practice of the Fivefold Teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen, you look directly into what is disturbing you right now, and by applying the meditation techniques, discover the nature of your mind - which is pure awareness. Not only can you heal your day-to-day life and make it lighter and more joyful, but through this practice, you can recognize and connect with your innermost essence, the nature of your mind as Buddha or Pure Consciousness.

In recent years, the renowned Tibetan lama and author Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has been making the esoteric teachings of Tibetan Bön Buddhism accessible to Western audiences. In this interactive online workshop, open to new and longtime students alike, Rinpoche guides you through each step of the meditation, while providing continued personal support to the students for the entire three weeks of the workshop. 

"I love this practice very much. It really gives you a tool to deal with a very specific situation. On the other hand, it guides you directly into the essence, to the root of yourself." 
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
