A little background about Jack
=========================
Many years ago Jack Connelly travelled to India with the purpose of exploring this wide world . One day while sitting on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi a Buddhist monk appeared and from his robe pulled out an orange which he offered to Jack. Over the next few days they met for tea and discussions and a new world of possibilities opened up.
The next 5 years were spent in Asia traveling, studying and practicing with different teachers in various retreat centers and monasteries in India, Burma, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Jack was fortunate enough to meet many of the great Thervadian Masters of the day including Ajahn Tate, Ajahn Chah , Ajahn Buddhadasa and Mahasi Sayadaw. As well as Advaita Vedanta masters Sri Nisgarda a Maharaji and H.W.L. Poonjaji.
Since that time his study and exploration continued both in Canada and back in Asia. His principal teacher became the Venerable Nymgal Rinpoche. He was also fortunate enough to receive empowerment and teachings from Dilgo Khyentse , as well as direct one on one teachings from Urgyen Tulku Rinpoche.
Jack offers his students the advantage of his rich life experience . He combines teachings from the various traditions in an accessible and modern-day context.

Talk: Working and Developing the Recognition of Awareness
Переглядів 8114 днів тому
Jack explores how spiritual recognition unfolds - not through pushing harder in practice, but through allowing a natural awareness that's always present. Beginning with a student's question about whether to "ramp up" their practice, the discussion reveals how while initial effort in meditation is necessary, there comes a point where striving becomes counterproductive. Using the metaphor of some...
