About the Course
In Buddhism, meditation means, "effortlessly resting in what is." This state is brought about by calming and holding the mind so one may have a stable insight into the way things are, or the nature of mind. This is achieved by focusing on liberation, compassion and wisdom, or by working with our bodies´ energy channels and meditating on Buddha forms of energy and light.
The most effective method, if one can do it, is the constant identification with one's own Buddha nature. When one rests in the totality of the seer, what is seen and the act of seeing at all times, the goal, Mahamudra, is reached.
During meditation retreats, Lama Ole teaches various types of meditations from all levels of Buddhist teachings (Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana). Between sessions, he teaches the way and goal behind these different paths and answers questions that arise during the practices.
