The Buddha describes his experience in the midst of sentient beings immersed in the three worlds and their expressions as realms, states of mind, duration of life, happiness and suffering. He himself goes through these experiences and at the end declares himself liberated. His enlightened vision gives rise to the Dharma that penetrates realities and surpasses limited visions, constituting a complete remedy for delusion and suffering. Let's walk this path based on the ancient texts of the Buddha himself.

Rebberg Zendo September 29th Sunday to October 4th Friday 53 Dorfstrasse Wettingen Switzerland
The Buddha describes our mind operating in the form of the eight consciousnesses and dependent arising - this he calls samsara. He also describes the lucidity of the Buddha-mind in each one of us and how from it arises the "vision" that surpasses samsara. He then points out the path of "meditation" endowed with "vision", and how this results in the natural effortless lucidity called "fruition". Here, having accessed "vision", we will focus on and train in lucidity as a direct practice that ends up illuminating samsara itself. Mindfulness goes beyond understanding and becomes a practice that, starting formally, goes further and illuminates life as a whole. Here we will be supported by texts from ancient Buddhism and texts and practices from contemporary Tibetan masters.

Rebberg Zendo October 5th 53 Dorfstrasse Wettingen Switzerland
We've all practiced and made efforts. Sometimes we have the feeling that we've made progress, surprisingly we waver and sometimes we find ourselves hindered and disturbed. Where are the obstacles to our path and our stability? We'll go through the ancient texts of the Buddha that point out what we haven't seen and help us powerfully to understand and overcome obstacles. We'll also briefly go through texts by recent and ancient Tibetan masters that describe how to get through the disturbing vision of the bards of life, meditation, dreaming, death, the afterlife and rebirth.

This set of activities is aimed at helping our efforts at social and personal transformation, deepening our experiences of meditation, removing obstacles to practice and understanding and leading us to broaden our realizations."
