Singing and Dancing
Your Way to Buddhahood
Versatility of Vajrayana Buddhist Training
When
we think of ”meditative training” or ”buddhist training”, we
often associate it with something hard and strict, something that
requires great efforts and commitment from us, together with a
lifestyle that might not be attractive or at all suitable for us.
Well, yeah, that's how most buddhist training is, because most
buddhist schools look at the path as something very hard and
demanding. However, not all schools and methods are the same.
I
do not mean to give the impression that there is a easy path
to enlightenment because there isn't, but vajrayana in
general, and Open Heart in particular, are paths that have many types
of practices and in general, is light and relaxed, not heavy and
strained.
For example, one of the exercises we practice in Open Heart is putting your favourite music on and dancing to it. What? Really!? Yes. Anything, including dancing to music can be excellent practice of atiyoga (tib. dzogchen) and offer as much ground for wisdom and insight, as for example, sitting practice.
