Spectrum of Being - Introduction to Meditation

Spectrum of Being is a complete seven session course open to everyone. No prior meditation experience is necessary.

The course is led by ordained practitioners from the Dzogchen Buddhist Aro Tradition. During the course we will explore both the deluded and the liberated qualities of our emotional experiences, and how the emotions can serve as the basis for our meditation practice. The sessions will be complemented by instruction on silent sitting meditation and a series of vajra melodies - sung mantra which are useful for common emotional states such as anger, frustration, sadness and bewilderment.

Week seven will comprise a formal transmission from Lama Nor'dzin Pamo and Lama 'ö-Dzin Tridral – married Buddhist teachers from the Aro Tradition- into the practice of Dzogchen Trek-chod. This is the meditation practice used for transforming the deluded emotions into their natural liberated condition.

Each session includes written material for you to take away and utilise in your personal practice, including descriptions of everything you will be taught during the seven weeks.

Tuesday evenings, 7.30pm - 9.00pm
