The Buddha called himself the Awakened One. But from what has he awakened? And can we do the same? His teaching gives many concrete answers to that. These answers come together in a number of radical insights, which we find in all Buddhist lineages. They are about the nature of our mind and experience, and about meditation as a method. This is what we are going to explore during this session. It does not matter whether we have just become acquainted with Buddhism and its practice of meditation or have been doing so for many years. For these insights become ever deepening as we continue on our spiritual path.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
Han de Wit was trained by meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in America and authorized by him in 1977 to teach the Buddhist vision and its meditation practice. He founded the first Shambhala center in Europe in Amsterdam that year. He is a much sought after Dharma teacher and a Dutch author of several books on Buddhism, one of them being translated as The Great Within (Shambhala Publications, 2019). As a scientist, Dr. Han F. de Wit gained international recognition with his research into the insights about the human mind that can be found in spiritual traditions. In dialogue with Western psychology, this led to a new form of psychology, coined Contemplative Psychology (Duquesne University Press, 1991). For many years, Dr. De Wit has also given lectures and seminars on these subjects at home and abroad.
