The Shambhala path

We learn in meditation, to find inner peace and balance amidst the many irritations of everyday life. We discover, who we really are, see the living of every moment and gain the ability, to be alert and committed to every situation in life. This creates confidence and gentleness in us and we develop a sense of humor.

Meditation practice allows us to discover, how we weave a cocoon of habit patterns, to cover up our fears and irritations. When we venture out of these habitual patterns, we see the brilliance of the world and at the same time perceive our sensitivity and authenticity.

“We understand meditation here as something very basic and simple, that is not tied to any particular culture: Sitting on the floor, adopting good posture and developing a sense of our place in the world.”
(Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche)

We learn, to implement the formal practice of mindfulness and awareness in everyday life. We are mindful and open with all our senses, and thus perceive the world around us more vividly. We experience fearlessness, that arises from it.

When we allow openness and touchability in communication with the world, this also means, that the world can touch our hearts and that our hearts awaken through this touch. Free from all habitual, We approach the world with entrenched ideas and thought patterns with clear senses.

We communicate with the world gently and fearlessly, our awareness is sharpened and we experience the open, clear sky of the mind: a delicious source of wisdom and uplifting energy. We have enough faith in our true nature, to let go and immerse yourself in every moment.

While sitting still, by following your breath, how it flows out and disappears, you establish the connection to your heart. You just let yourself be, like you are, and from this comes a real sympathy for yourself.”
(Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche)
