We are pleased to announce that Michael Fuchs, a Buddhist teacher from Germany, will be visiting Hong Kong later this month and giving a series of talks about Meditation over 3 days. Starting with a public talk “Introduction to Meditation” on the evening of Friday 27th August, we will have the fantastic opportunity to go deeper into this central topic in Buddhism over a full weekend meditation course. The full program can be found below.
In Buddhism, meditation means “effortlessly remaining in what is.” This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, by realizing compassion and wisdom, or by working with the body’s energy channels and meditating on Buddha forms of light and energy. The most effective methods are the constant identification with one’s own potential to be a Buddha and experiencing the richness of every situation in life; both of which are taught in the Diamond Way. When one understand that the seer, what is seen, and the act of seeing are not separate from each other, the goal has been reached.
