34-year-old reincarnate lama Tenzin Ösel Hita is delighted to be sharing his first Being Experience for 21st century modern living with the world. In this unique four-day immersion you’ll learn psychological and physiological techniques to help you connect with your own true nature and innate wisdom.
Learn to nurture your mind and body, awaken your inner awareness, expand your neural pathways, create new thinking patterns, adapt positively to any situation, and ultimately be of greater benefit to the world.
Ösel will share from his own experiences and learning, his studies since childhood at Sera Je Monastic University, and his life of service to others.
“We are a reflection of the universe. We are interdependent with the universe. The universe exists through us; and we exist through the universe. The universe has given us life and the capacity to interact, appreciate, and perceive the universe itself, so that we can actually give it meaning. Therefore, as an individual, our mission is to understand ourselves and discover our inner reality, our true nature. When you understand your inner nature, you can find true happiness, which comes from wanting to benefit other people.”
“The universe exists through us; and we exist through the universe”
A new education for a new world.
