GUEST LECTURE - "The Terma (Revealed Treasure) Tradition of Shambahala"

The ID Project Welcomes Acharya Eric Spiegel for an evening of  meditation and teaching on the Shambhala Buddhist path.  Central to the Shambhala approach to practice is moving students through the three yanas (or vehicles) of Tibetan Buddhism (Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana) as well as working with the four characteristics or "dignities" of awakened mind as symbolized by four traditional animals (Tiger - Contentment, Lion - Joy, Garuda - Fearlessness, Dragon - Wisdom).

Acharya Eric Speigel Since 1980 Eric has been active in the growth and development of the Shambhala Meditation Center in New York. As a senior teacher there, he finds that his background and experience help him present the teachings of both the Vidyadhara and the Sakyong.

In addition to teaching the traditional syllabus of the Shambhala Community, Acharya Spiegel teaches on understanding the transitions of Life and Death, and on relating with the power and energy of Wealth from a sane, empowered view point – and on the general lack of insight into this topic that pervades our culture.
Eric has also been involved in the Stonewall Community Foundation, and the Queer Dharma and Diamond Metta groups.  More info on Acharya Spiegel.
