SUMMARY:Ripa Awareness Meditation (RAM) – Weekly meditation sessions
DESCRIPTION:With Amrit Wagner\nOpen Dates \n\n\n\n“Ripa Awareness Meditation” is a simple and effective method that helps stabilize the mind\, using the Shamatha technique or calm-abiding meditation; once the mind has settled\, the application of Vipassana meditation tools allows the practitioner to gain access to more subtle aspects of his mind\, thus allowing him a true exploration of the nature of phenomena and reality. \nThe method was conceived by the master of Tibetan Buddhism\, Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche to benefit his students around the world. \nA new cycle of practice for beginners will open this year: \nBeginners: RAM-Shamata 8-week cycle \nThis 8-week cycle on Shamata meditation aims at familiarizing participants with the meditation technique of Shamata\, or calm-abiding meditation\, a traditional Buddhist method that uses the breath as a support to calm the mind. \nThe practice of this type of meditation results in a more calm\, focused\, and stable mind. \nIt is an ideal practice for those wishing to discover meditation for the first time. \nNo previous meditation experience needed \nEvery Tuesday from 19:30 to 21:00\, from April 23 to June 11 \nFee for the 8-week program: $ 240 \nInfo & registration: info@ripa-international.com \nThe current advanced group guided by Amrit Wagner will continue every Thursday \nAdvanced – RIPA AWARENESS MEDITATION \nRAM-(Shamata/Vipassana) 8-week cycle \nThis 8-week cycle on Shamata/Vipassana meditation aims to help participants deepen their meditation practice.

In repose\, in space\, in silent time\, answers can come. Wisdom and insight wash away problems. Transformation occurs in stillness. Through the practice of mindfulness\, the elementary harmony that creates wind horse – the Tibetan expression for positive energy – is created. Relaxation will then translate into everyday life and bring benefits. Internal change will bring external change. When we are clear and equipped with insight\, we are in a place to help others. It is by developing wisdom and compassion that we are able to be of the greatest assistance to others…. compassion heals.” – Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \n\n\nAbout the Teacher\n\nAmrit Wagner\nAmrit Wagner is an approved meditation instructor under the guidance of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche.
