We’ve all heard about the power of now, but many of us are not equipped to realize the magnitude of the present moment. With the sacred art and practice of presencing, we can learn to consciously and intentionally cultivate clarity and appreciate each moment of our life.
Guided by Lama Surya Das, one of the nation’s foremost Buddhist meditation masters, we learn and practice an ancient technique that enables us to cultivate the ‘nowness-awareness’ we seek.
Through the Tibetan Buddhist practices of Cherishment and Pure Perception (from The Five Certainties/Endowment of the Diamond Path), along with presencing practice, and highly interactive dialogue, we learn to penetrate illusions and realize the true nature of an awakened heart and mind.
In the present moment, we discover the perfect time, place, teaching, teacher, and student—five certainties to cherish with gratitude.
Buddhist meditation master Lama Surya Das is the author of several books, including Awakening the Buddha Within; The Mind is Mightier Than the Sword; and Awakening to the Sacred. The spiritual director of the Dzogchen Center, he founded the Western Buddhist Teachers Network with the Dalai Lama (who refers to Surya Das as “The American Lama”). He has written the “Ask the Lama” column for Beliefnet.com for many years, and is active in interfaith dialogue and spiritual activism. surya.org
