LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION presents Make Me One with Everything - An Evening with Lama Surya Das

Lama Surya Das will discuss his new book, "Make Me One with Everything"

“If you've ever felt 'at one' with something-your beloved or your child, a forest trail or a favorite song," shares Lama Surya Das, "then you've experienced inter-meditation." We're used to thinking of meditation as a solitary activity that occurs solely in our own minds But inter-meditation (or co-meditation) is the other half of meditation: it's inclusive and instead of getting rid of things we embrace people, feelings, and events.

Based on Tibetan Buddhism's core insights into the inherent essence of who we are, the teachings of shared spirituality in Make Me One with Everything offer both novice and seasoned meditators a better way to live-not just on the meditation cushion or the yoga mat, but in every moment of their lives.

Lama Surya Das is one of the foremost Western Buddhist meditation teachers and scholars, one of the main interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, and a leading spokesperson for the emerging American Buddhism. The Dalai Lama affectionately calls him “The Western Lama.” Surya has spent over forty five years studying Zen, vipassana, yoga, and Tibetan Buddhism with the great masters of Asia, including the Dalai Lama’s own teachers, and has twice completed the traditional three year meditation cloistered retreat at his teacher’s Tibetan monastery. He is an authorized lama and lineage holder in the Nyingmapa School of Tibetan Buddhism, and a close personal disciple of the leading grand lamas of that tradition.
