MASTER COURSE 5:The Topography of the Path
Lam Rim - A Journey to Authenticity
A great journey begins with having a map of the route.
In each weekly session, we will delve into the classical meditative teaching of lam-rim, the Stages of the Path or the Gradual Path.
The profundity and efficacy of Vajrayana, Cho, and Mahamudra are firmly rooted in the realization and integration of these steps into our mind streams and our day-to-day lives. These systematic teachings are not only the basis for strengthening any advanced practices but also indispensable ingredients to embody our practice authentically and genuinely. This step-by-step process is the perfect and safe mapping for transformation to occur gradually.
Our approach is both pragmatic and experiential. We study each step and examine how it informs our lives, exploring the meaning and extent to which we live life accordingly. We discover what is blocking us from realizing each step along the way and consider how we make our lives more authentic and meaningful on this journey.
