Dear Friends…

After you read or listen to my story today…hopefully I have inspired you with a burning desire to learn how to meditate and launch your own soul satisfying daily practice and an understanding of how important it is.

If so, you may be delighted to hear that it is one of SEVERAL KEY SPIRITUAL TOOLS that I teach in my new series of TEN Online or In Person Workshops “FOUNDATIONS Of The SPIRITUAL PATH.”

Beginning September 15 through November 17, 2024

Sunday Mornings, 10:30 am to Noon…

After 60 years of training and practice with some of the greatest spiritual masters of our time, I am able to teach these key tools in a simple, easy to understand way that you can use to dramatically uplevel your life.

It has taken me an entire lifetime of training and daily practice, using these keys, which were my lifesavers during intense challenges, heartbreak and hard times…to be able to now share them with you in my Workshops.

These teachings are life changing and I sincerely believe every human being on earth needs to learn to meditate and how to use the other essential spiritual tools!

I can tell you from my own experience that my life would have been a wasteland with an early and painful end if I had not received these teachings from my first teacher, KALU RINPOCHE, a highly realized Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master back in 1972.

And now I am passing on these amazingly powerful tools to you in these WORKSHOPS.

If you enroll, it will turn out to be one of the best decisions you have ever made!

ONE OF THE NATURAL RESULTS FROM DAILY MEDITATION PRACTICE IS SEEING LIFE FROM AN EVER HIGHER PERSPECTIVE

One of the unexpected benefits of developing your own prayer and meditation practice that you rarely hear about is that you slowly and steadily begin to become more and more conscious and to see life from an ever higher perspective.

You do not need to make effort to achieve this…it will happen naturally just by doing your daily practice. 

A traditional analogy is that it is like growing an apple tree from a seed.

Once you decide that you want to harvest apples from your own tree, you plant an apple seed.  Then you water it daily and watch it grow from a little sprout to a full grown tree, which then blossoms in spring. 

“Apple blossoms in the gentle rebirth of Spring”

Each of those flowers slowly become big plump apples which, when they are ripe, fall into your hands to be eaten or made into preserves or apple pies…whatever you like. 

And will keep on growing, blossoming and making delicious apples for a lifetime.

“The harvest is rich and bountiful”

When you decide to develop your own personal meditation practice—which is, by the way, one of the best decisions you will ever make in this lifetime, it is like planting a seed in the soil of your own heart.

If you give it the care and daily attention it needs and deserves, this seed will sprout and begin to grow.

It will put out roots in all directions, and it will rise through the ground of your life, nurtured by the sunlight of your loving intention.

Once it is firmly established, with its leaves outstretched to be nourished by the light within, it will naturally continue growing through all the seasons…and one day it starts blessing you with the fruits of a stable and determined meditation practice.

You can absolutely count on these blessings and benefits naturally resulting from your practice if you take care of it properly.

Just as an apple seed will slowly grow over time to the day it produces delicious and nourishing fruit, so will your meditation practice grow and mature to produce a bountiful harvest of spiritual fruit.

The beautiful thing is that this happens naturally.

I tell those who take our “Foundations Of The Spiritual Path Course” or our “Meditation Training Intensive Course” that these benefits and positive results will certainly develop, but that you must be patient.

As long as you take care of your practice and maintain a daily meditation momentum, the results and benefits will come just as certainly as the apple tree will produce a bumper crop of delicious apples in due course!

Persevere with patience and dedication…

Everything worth having or doing in this world takes steady and sustained effort over time.

As long as you do your practice sincerely and as we teach you, I know with certainty that you will grow to absolutely LOVE it and it will become one of the most treasured elements in your life!

My first spiritual Teacher, Kalu Rinpoche would often say:

“In your meditation practice, neither be hopeful or hopeless.

Be patient but expectant and open.

Have faith in your practice without pushing too hard or relaxing too much. Simply do your practice daily as you have been taught and results will certainly come.

Until your practice matures, you will not have the ability to see the developments your practice is bringing because they will be slow, subtle and steady…

Like a ship in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight, just keep on sailing on and you will reach the harbor.”

“The only way that your dharma practice will not bear fruit is that you either stop practicing or don’t begin in the first place!“

—Kalu Rinpoche
