COURSE
With Suryacitta (The Happy Buddha)
The aim of the six-session course is: 1. The Peace Before A Thought Because of our addiction to thinking, we miss the inherent spaciousness before a thought 2. Disidentifying from the “voice in the head” Begin to experience a gap between awareness and thinking, loosening the sense of being the thinker. 3. The priceless gift of stillness and silence Discover that silence is not something to create, but something already present beneath mental activity. 4. There is no path to presence There is no path to presence because presence is not somewhere else—it is what is here before the search begins. The journey ends when it is seen that what we have been seeking is the one thing that has never been absent. 5. If You Want To Meditate Remember This One Thing Meditation begins where seeking ends. As long as there is something to attain, the mind remains in motion. When the search for a better moment comes to an end, what is already here reveals itself in its natural stillness. 6. The End Of The Search The end of the search is not finding what you have been looking for; it is seeing that nothing was ever missing—only the belief that something was. With this seeing comes a natural return home, a resting in the quiet peace of what is already whole and complete. What Students Can Expect Simple, direct guidance Clear pointing rather than complex theory—inviting you to look at your immediate experience. Short, guided meditations and pointers Opportunities to sit, notice, and explore—without pressure to “do it right.” A gentle but honest approach Misconceptions about meditation and the mind may be challenged in a supportive way. A shift in perspective rather than new beliefs This course is about seeing, not adopting new ideas, beliefs or philosophies. Space for reflection and inquiry Time to notice what’s true in your own experience, rather than relying on concepts. An emphasis on effortlessness Again and again, you’ll be invited to notice what is already here, rather than striving for a future state.
