Pandit Rajmani Tigunait – Vishoka Meditation: Capturing The Power Of The Lotus Sutra
Capturing the Power of the Lotus Sutra
Vishoka Meditation Retreat July 2021
The Vishoka Meditation Retreat is a practice-driven experience that will profoundly deepen your Vishoka Meditation. Anchored in several hours of daily practice, this immersion weaves several threads of study and practice together to unlock the full potential of Vishoka Meditation.
Originally hosted in Honesdale, PA July 9–18, 2021
Vishoka Meditation is rooted in an ancient wisdom tradition spanning millennia, and is at the heart of the Lotus Sutra, Shiva Sutra, and Yoga Sutra. This immersive program is designed to elevate your experience of Vishoka Meditation to a new height as you connect yourself with the power of the Lotus Sutra and the masters who embody it.
The technique-driven practice of Vishoka Meditation has its own merit. It builds a firm foundation—it brings stability to the body, calms the nervous system, makes the mind clear and focused, and opens the door to inner peace and happiness. But the subtle and potent process of transformation accelerates when we begin to practice Vishoka Meditation in the same light in which a long chain of masters did. The Lotus Sutra (Sad-dharma-pundarika Sutra) is a living body of these masters and their experiences.
Dive into the depths of the Lotus Sutra and capture the essence of the original teachings of Buddha as taught by him directly. This is a rare opportunity to study this scripture with Panditji, who is not only proficient in the language of this text, but also has been ordained in this vidya (living wisdom).
