Lama Ole Nydahl, Internationally Renowned Buddhist Master, Makes Rare Two-Day New York City Appearance
The Fearless Mind: Buddhism in Today's World
A weekend course with Lama Ole Nydahl
NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A meditation teacher who has a habit of skydiving, motorcycle-riding, and driving fast cars might seem like a daredevil to some. But Lama Ole Nydahl considers this all just a joyful expression of the fearless mind that all can attain through Buddhist meditation and practice.
He insists, in fact, that qualities like fearlessness, wisdom and active compassion for others are all part of the mind's natural state, once it is freed of disturbing emotions and self-limiting ideas. As he puts it:
"Recognizing that a true and existent 'self' can neither be the impermanent body nor volatile thoughts and feelings immediately renders fear rootless. As mind was always space - open, indestructible, playful and aware - what could harm it or cause pain?"
Making these ideas come to life is the goal of the course Lama Ole, founder of Diamond Way Buddhism Worldwide, will teach when he visits New York City for a rare two-day event. The Fearless Mind course is a lively weekend of interactive talks and guided meditations on Diamond Way Buddhist principles and techniques. The event is sponsored by the Diamond Way Buddhist Center NYC and will take place from Dec. 4th - 5th, at the New York Institute of Technology Auditorium on Broadway, 1871 Broadway (at 61st St.).
Lecture topics for the course will include:
- Ancient Wisdom/Modern Times (Sat., Dec. 4th: 8PM)
- Meditation in Action (Sun., Dec. 5th: 11AM)
- Highest Joy, Highest Functioning (Sun., Dec. 5th: 3PM)
