> Four thoughts with Droupla A. Tcheuny

To establish a correct understanding within each phase of the preliminary practices, it is necessary to receive the instructions appropriate to each.

The application of the preliminaries of the Vajrayana School, allows us to establish true faith and motivation in our possibility to bring the experiences of our life on the path of enlightenment.

The first part of these preliminaries is the four thoughts which distract the mind from Samsara: the invaluable human existence, Death and impermanence, the law of Karma the defective nature of Samsara.

Using instructions and exchanges, Droupla A. Tcheuny will guide sessions dedicated to these four thoughts.

> The four points of awareness with Lama Dordjé Puntso

The mind is confused and generates suffering and dissatisfaction. Only meditation based on a truthful vision, arisen from listening and from reflection, can free the mind from this way of functioning.

Awareness is the heart of the meditation and as so to develop it, the Buddha defined four essential supports: the body, sensations, the mind and its phenomena. These progressive meditations allow to explore ones body, mind and the functioning of the mind, using breathing as common support.
