This is an experiential program on the 5 wisdom energies of the 5 Buddha families. Each buddha family emphasizes a particular aspect of enlightened energy or enlightened wisdom. These energies also have their confused emotional and environmental aspects, which the practitioner learns how to recognize and transform. For example, emotional energies such as fear, anger, desire and pride, when related to directly, can be transformed into enlightened qualities containing tremendous intelligence, vigor and heart.
Maitri Five Wisdom Energies is practiced by maintaining particular postures in five different colored environments, with colored glasses. Each posture evokes one of the five wisdom energies. The emphasis of the practice is on discovering within these raw and wakeful energies unconditional friendliness (or maitri), towards oneself. This discovery becomes a basis for living one’s life more fully, skillfully understanding and relating with others, and establishing a dynamic and healthy relationship with one’s work, home and natural environments.
Acharya Lyon has been teaching Matri Space Awareness for many years, presenting a vibrant and fresh approach to seeing our wisdom energies as we progress along the path. An experience rarely available, mark your calendar.
