In general, we live in a world full of external demands and we often find ourselves overwhelmed, without internal space and breath to move forward. In this context, we realize that caring for our internal world is very important so that we are able to cultivate positive relationships and beneficial actions for others and, consequently, for ourselves. In this workshop, Lama will help us to contemplate how meditation can allow us to recognize and manifest the qualities already present in us that lead to a more balanced and happy life and how to practice in the midst of the circumstances we are in at this very moment. A very instructive and transformational workshop with a special teacher not to be missed.

Lama Padma Samten
The Bodisatva Center for Buddhist Studies (CEBB) is a Brazilian Buddhist organization focused on the study and practice of Buddhism. The aim is to offer a path to spiritual development and personal transformation based on Buddhist principles, emphasizing compassion, wisdom and mindfulness.
Lama Padma Samten, antigo Alfredo Aveline, foi professor de física na Universidade Federal de Porto Alegre, Brasil, por 15 anos. No início da década de 1990, ele convidou H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche para lecionar no Rio Grande do Sul e facilitou a compra das terras Khadro Ling por Rinpoche em 1994.
His organization, Centro de Estudos Budistas Bodisatva (CEBB), which he founded in 1986, organized Rinpoche’s early teachings in Southern Brazil. Lama Samten received training from teachers of various Buddhist traditions including Zen, and traveled to Asia on several occasions. He has contributed a tremendous effort to bring masters, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to Brazil.
