On-going

Natural Mind Meditation

Clouds arise, abide and dissolve into space;
thoughts arise, abide and dissolve into Natural Mind.

When we first begin to meditate, we look for the source of our thoughts and emotions, our conceptual mind. Ultimately, the Natural Mind, our inner awareness is revealed. 

Meditation is resting in the pure nature of mind and nonduality. The practice is simple, but not always easy.

“Our happiness can only come from within; profound happiness does not come from outside ourselves.”

"I met Geshe about five years ago and I was completely blown away. It was the most subtle energetic transmission that I had ever experienced. The opportunity to receive these
Pure Dzogchen teachings is extremely rare."
