More Information About the Series
In Tibetan Buddhism, happiness is not based upon acquiring material wealth or external physical phenomena, but rather upon internal peace and contentment. This series incorporates ancient meditational practices and techniques discovered by Tibetan sages. These teachings provide powerfully effective and practical methods to cultivate a harmonious and tranquil state of mind.
Through working with mindfulness, affirmation, visualization, meditation, and mantra, Lama Tashi will guide us through authentic ancient teachings, practices, and techniques that will assist in the manifestation of true happiness rooted in a calm and peaceful state of being. In each session, Lama Tashi will focus on a different Tibetan deity that embodies a unique aspect of happiness. Lama Tashi’s powerful meditations and mantras will resonate at deep levels and facilitate exploration of the Three Gateways of Consciousness:
- Mind – How to use esoteric mental techniques to understand the higher principles of lasting happiness
- Body – How to use emotions through meditation and mindfulness to create inner harmony
- Speech – How to use speech through recitation of mantra to achieve and manifest a blissful state of being
Each session will work with a different deity and mantra that will help us invoke and embody a new dimension of happiness. The potent exercises you will learn in this series will help you to:
