Acharya Gaylon Ferguson's Natural Wakefulness with Juan Carlos Castro and Crystal Gandrud

"Wakefulness is our natural state: enlightened, complete, perfect in wisdom and compassion. It’s not something outside ourselves that we need to attain or become. But it’s also true that some effort is required to get in touch with it—and that effort is what spiritual practice is about." - From Acharyan Gaylon Ferguson's "Natural Wakefulness"

These classes explore the concept of "Natural Wakefulness" as it relates to the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.

Acharya Gaylon Ferguson is a senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist community and was a student of Chogyum Trungpa Rinpoche. He is currently faculty at Interdisciplinary Studies at Naropa University.
