Join us for a free guided Guru Yoga meditation - a main practice in Karma Kagyu Linage - one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Beginners are welcome!

In Buddhism, meditation means **"effortlessly remaining in what is"**. This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, when compassion and wisdom are realized, or by working with our bodies' energy channels and meditating on light forms of Buddhas.

However the most direct way to recognize the true nature of one's mind is the Guru Yoga meditation, as practiced in the Karma Kagyu centers around the world. Also called "the way of identification" - this is the essence of the Kagyu transmission where students realize their full potential in the stream of their teacher's blessing. Since a total identification on the level of perfection presses countless "enlightenment buttons" in one's subconscious, it is a very fast way to realize one's original awareness. Here, the mutually conditioned, dependently originating nature of things is clearly recognized - a precondition to the ultimate insight that seer, seeing and object seen are inseparable parts of the same totality.

Being able to maintain this view during and between the times of meditation brings about the goal of Vajrayana - realization of the Mahamudra. All concepts fade when it is imparted, and the self-liberation of all dualistic processes becomes completely natural. Translating as "The Great Seal" the Mahamudra authenticates the mind's space, clarity and limitlessness to be the only reality.
