Traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices include spending time on purification, or transforming negative experiences or tendencies into useful tools for developing compassion and wisdom. This month-long training covers the four forces of purification and how to incorporate them into your meditation practice. The four forces of purification target problems at their source, and when practiced regularly dislodge problematic thoughts, memories, behaviors, and traits and allow their energy to be utilized on the path to Enlightenment to increase compassion, joy and insight.

Upon graduation students will submit a professional quality video or audio recording of the meditation.
