Over the weekend, Ven. Gendun will lead us through meditations calm-abiding (shamatha) meditation, and share practical techniques to relax the body, steady the attention, and give the mind the space to rest.
With clear guidance and a supportive environment, even complete beginners can quickly feel the benefits of learning how to pause and be present. From this foundation, Venerable Gendun introduces Mahamudra meditationโan approach that helps us look directly at the nature of our own awareness. Participants will be led gently led toward a deeper experience of clarity, presence, and inner ease.
Alongside these practices, analytical meditations will explore timeless Buddhist insights on topics such as compassion, perspective, and the nature of thoughts and emotions. These contemplations help transform meditation from something we only do on the cushion into a powerful way of understanding ourselves and relating to the world.
โLord Buddha himself taught that basically, human nature is pure, egoless, just as the sky is by nature clear, not cloudy. Clouds come and go, but the blue sky is always there; clouds donโt alter the fundamental nature of the sky. Similarly, the human mind is fundamentally pure.โ
