Discovering Refuge Within
New 3 Doors Course Starts January 5
The 3 Doors will offer Discovering the Refuge Within: An 8-Week Meditation Journey, from January 5 through February 23, 2023. The online course, focusing on the foundational practices of stillness, silence, spaciousness and abiding in inner refuge, will be taught in English by authorized 3 Doors teachers Juanita Rockwell and Phil Tonne.
The new program was introduced this fall, with the opportunity to learn from new 3 Doors teachers from around the world, leading the course in their native languages. In October, a course was led by Tonny Maas of the Netherlands.
Both experienced practitioners and those new to meditation will find support in this course to integrate the benefits of meditation into everyday life. It could be a starting point, a refresher or a way of discovering beginner's mind if your practice feels stale or neglected rather than actively and openly experienced.
In this course, participants delve into meditation as a starting point to self-discovery, self-acceptance and expression of kindness in the world. They will explore deep and ancient teachings and practices that allow us to meet ourselves with fresh perception. The wisdom methods that are shared, with the support of a small group of people, are doorways to wakeful discovery of one's true belonging in the world, even as we acknowledge the difficulties of the human journey.
As 3 Doors founder Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche said in his book Awakening the Luminous Mind, Meditation is a method of recognizing and being aware of the inherent completeness of each moment. It is not a matter of cultivating or finding something you don't have, but of being aware of what you already have.
