Lion's Dance

Inspired by the ancient tradition passed down from Maitreya to Arya Asanga, this Lion’s Dance meditation series is a playful and profound look into the understanding of how our mind projects every experience we have through the lens of our past deeds. Geshe Michael moves us through subtle states of awareness using crisp visualizations while we explore how all perceptions are shaped by the opening of karmic seeds within our own mind.

This practice helps us to develop a deep heart connection with the people we look up to the most. By using their best qualities as a mirror for growth, we can learn to activate the stores of goodness contained within ourselves in order to transform our experience of the world. Through deep reflection—and an honest look at our own habits—we begin to revise our belief that anything could ever exist from its own side, including the people that inspire us most.
