How to Transform Your Meditations into Realizations

How is your meditation practice going? Are you more peaceful and calm … or are you still quite distracted and stressed? Do you feel that your qualities such as authentic patience, love and compassion are steadily improving? Or do you feel like you are treading water, maybe even feeling a bit stuck in your practice and discouraged? Buddhist meditation is the most powerful tool in the universe for bringing about profound and lasting change in our hearts. It has produced countless realized beings in the past and can continue to do so in the present. But do you feel that that is possible for you?

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has revealed in his books a special way to transform our meditations into authentic and lasting realizations of love, compassion and wisdom. A realization is much more than just improved knowledge. It is when a topic such as compassion or wisdom has become so integrated into our being that it remains with us as a permanent change of experience and attitude. If we wish for lasting happiness then we need to gain realizations of our wonderful and profound Dharma topics. By the end of this course you’ll be equipped with all the tools you need to get more out of your practice by making your meditations more powerful and joyful.
