Jigme Rinpoche
Meditation
May, Thursday 8 to Sunday 11

In Tibetan, the term meditation can mean "training", "meditative absorption" or even "the mind stably focused on virtue". The different methods that constitute the training do eventually lead to absorption, but why is it necessary to stabilize the mind and what is meant by virtue? In order for meditation to bear it's proper fruit, it has to be grounded in a correct understanding of reality and the way we perceive this reality. In this way our practice becomes a training in the dissipation of illusion as was taught by the Buddha, leading us to recognize reality for what it really is. Jigme Rinpoche will explain the "view" of meditation so that we may properly discern between what is to be cultivated and what is to be abandoned within the very heart of practice. During the course, on the basis of Rinpoche's teaching, instructions on the 4 pillars of mindfulness will be transmitted and practiced every day.
