The foundation of Bodhi Training is impartiality and altruism, non-aggression and open mind. You seek collective development rather than self-development, and emphasize intelligent inquiry, humaneness, the skill to step aside, a sense of reality, courage, and, last but not least, love in the form of respect for all beings.

• You work through life’s essential themes and circumstances
• You explore consciousness, thoughts and sensations
• You train in freeing up your experience
• You integrate dharma in your personal and professional life
• You receive ongoing guidance in both understanding, experiencing and communicating what you learn
• You train in inspiring other people to have a sane understanding of life and reality.

During the meetings you will receive a lay-out of concise and important key points and summaries. At the same time we engage in our inner training in a way that corresponds with the teaching levels, so that instructions and techniques can be integrated in your personal experience.

In Bodhi Training we will go through a series of insights and ways of being:

Practical humanism through cultivating the four flowers of compassion

Opening to our divine aspect through authentic presence in the moment

Natural egolessness and the unravelling of self-centered emotions

Bodhisattva heart, the love and will, that frees selfish attitude

Transcendent insight into the nature of reality

Bodhi Training is a one year program. The teaching format combines questions and dialogue, so that you have the opportunity to work through and clarify experience and understanding as the basis for helping yourself and others.

Throughout the program you will hand in short written reports that conveys your interpretation of the current topic, using your own words and based on your personal experience. This has the purpose of developing your ability to explain and convey timeless insights.

The program is followed by Vajrayana Bodhi Training, also one year, based om Padmasambhava’s teaching.

VAJRAYANA BODHI TRAINING

Vajrayana Bodhi Training builds on and extends the love and insight you have become familiar with through personal experience. Now you learn methods for realization, which through the year, will mature into becoming an authentic basic for life and death.

We have trained, but the habits to solidify duality still reoccur. We now need to use methods to free these habits. We need Vajrayana methods and training. During Vajrayana Bodhi Training you learn these methods, in a simple and gradual way.
