Seminar |<\/span> Charlotte Rotterdam und Pieter Oosthuizen<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Die Anleitung, unsere wahre Natur zu erkennen, kann so einfach klingen: \u201eRuhe einfach\u201c, hei\u00dft es in den gro\u00dfen Mahamudra-Lehren. Welch eine Erleichterung, welch eine einladende Anweisung. Doch was bedeutet Ruhe? Was bedeutet es, \u201eso zu entspannen, wie wir sind\u201c? Dieses Wochenende erkunden wir Machig Labdr\u00f6ns Anleitung, wie wir mit Geist und Herz arbeiten, um einen Blick auf die urspr\u00fcngliche Ruhe zu erhaschen, die unser nat\u00fcrlicher Zustand ist. F\u00fcr Erfahrene bietet dieses Wochenende eine freudvolle Vertiefung der Meditationspraxis; Meditationsanf\u00e4ngern bietet das Seminar einen Einstieg in die Tiefe und Sch\u00f6nheit der Meditationspraxis.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
