Fullest Expression Of Being

Life is perfect no matter how it may appear otherwise. Knowing this you are in a position to begin mastering life.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU CAN ONLY KNOW BY CREATING THEM FOR YOURSELF..- Werner Erhard

"Japhy found an interesting reference to the 16th Karmapa performing the Black Crown Ceremony at Werner Erhard’s Sensitivity training seminars, an underwriter for his tour of America.

Karmapa saw what the founder of the “weekend training seminar” paradigm was doing for what it was, as did Trungpa. Unlike the Karmapa though, Trungpa saw the the potential of the organization’s methodology and made it his own when he founded Shambhala training, the precursor of today’s Shambhala Buddhism.

If you have ever wondered why so much Karma Kagyu dharma activity in the west is organized as it is you need not look any further than this moment in the history of the 16th Karmapa in America."

“What we are engaged in creating is the opportunity for people to participate in the transformation of peoples’ lives and of life itself. This context of transformation is a context of freedom and opportunity, of empowerment and human joy, of contribution and of participation. Participation in this transformation is, for me, the fullest expression of being.” -- Werner Erhard
