Hello - I'm Kamalashila, from the Triratna Buddhist tradition. A warm welcome to my Dharma site and personal blog!
These pages express the integral Buddhism I've learned and practised over many years. I want to integrate meditation and daily life - precept and practice - theory and direct experience - shamatha and vipashyana - cultivation and letting go - without over emphasising any of those over the other.
My experience has mostly been in meditation teaching. This is the main emphasis on these pages. However I am very interested in grounding the understanding of meditation practice in the Buddha's teaching since the underlying view we have strongly influences the outcome of any activities we engage in, including meditation. My personal interests include Yogacara, Mahamudra and Original Buddhism
Currently I am involved with many other western teachers, both within the Triratna Sangha and outside it, discovering how we can best communicate the finer points of meditation and insight experience in a contemporary context. This is an ongoing discussion on the internet and elsewhere that I will endeavour to link to here on dharmadoor.org.
