The Ocean of Nectar:

An Immersion in the Vijñāna-bhairava Tantra

“That state of the self is internal and filled with the bliss of one’s experience.

One who is established in any of these methods, what he experiences day after day is fulfilled, until he attains complete satisfaction”.

Vijnana-bhairava 15, 148.

There is a treasure trove of meditation in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, and one of its greatest sources is the revealed text known as Vijnana-bhairava Tantra. In it, the Goddess plays the role of student and asks Shiva for instruction. The reply, however, does not come in the form of doctrines, but in the form of 112 methods of meditation. The message is clear: the ultimate answer to the deepest questions of life lies within.

In this course, we will immerse ourselves in the nectarean ocean of meditative practices from this sublime text. As we progress through the various forms of meditation, the inner state becomes deeper and deeper, supported by our contemplation, analysis and discussions. If you’ve ever felt like immersing yourself in meditation but felt perhaps too busy for a prolonged retreat, this course is for you! It is designed particularly to deepen our understanding and experience of meditation, to shift our internal state and anchor it firmly in internal, blissful awareness. It will be a true banquet for the soul.

Open to all levels of experience in meditation.
