Psychedelic Sangha presents,
"A Practical Guide to Psychedelic Meditation:
Radiant Great Bliss With 5-MeO-DMT"
A Psychedelic Dharma talk with John Gorman
Mon, December 16, 2024, 7-9pm EST
We welcome John Gorman to our Speaker Series with moderator Tomas Sander.
Join us online (7 pm EST) for this unique opportunity to explore how 5-MeO-DMT can be used--in conjunction with Buddhist practice--to realize the nature of mind as empty luminosity.
John Gorman will present a formal talk and then engage in informal conversation with Tomas and the live online community.
Sangha members will have the opportunity to watch the formal talk portion (not the informal conversation and Q&A), asynchronously through our online Commons.
All are welcome! We look forward to seeing you online.
ABSTRACT
The powerful psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT is famous for granting profound experiences of nonduality. With an accurate understanding of the nature of mind as empty luminosity, it is easy to experience awareness as a blissful, lucid, and limitless expanse of nondual wisdom and universal love. Nondual, skylike awareness is beyond birth, death, confusion, and suffering.
This recognition of awareness as nondual empty luminosity is called rigpa, often translated as insight or awareness. Rigpa recognizes Buddha nature, the ultimate unconditioned nature of mind. The insight of rigpa is the highest teaching of the Mahamudra and Dzogchen traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism,
A Practical Guide to Psychedelic Meditation is a meditation manual that explains 5-MeO-DMT meditation sessions in detail. Learn how to gain confidence with the medicine, recognize empty luminosity, and progress step by step until you can relax into the entire expanse of nonduality. Psychedelic meditation sessions are hours of relaxed, brilliant, profound nonduality, the pinnacle of realization training.
Psychedelic meditation with 5-MeO-DMT makes the realization of empty luminosity readily available to everyone without needing years of practice. Sometimes, people exclaim, “This is so easy! Is this cheating?” The answer is no, this is not cheating, because our next step is to bring nondual awareness into daily life where it can benefit ourselves and everyone we touch.
