Meditation

In Buddhism meditation means "effortlessly remaining in what is." This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, when compassion and wisdom are realized, or by working with our bodies' energy channels and meditating on light forms of the Buddhas. The most effective method is the constant identification with one's own Buddha nature, and the experience of always being in a Pure Land, both of which are taught in the Diamond Way. When the oneness of the seer, of what is seen, and of the act of seeing is unbroken, in and between the times of meditation, the goal, Mahamudra, is reached.

As transmission is everything in our work, arising questions should be answered and our experienced groups can protect beginners from erring on the way. For this reason we recently removed the meditations from the Internet. You may get the meditations in our Diamond Way Buddhist Centers in the USA, Canada and around the world. This will enable you to receive a proper transmission and explanation.
