Saturday 23 Mrach, 2019

10.00 - 18.00 in Stockholm

"Satsang with Giten is heaven."

- Satyama Padma

"Through satsang with Giten, existence has provided

me with satsang so that I do not have to travel abroad."

- Deva Emanuel

This is a loving invitation to Giten's friends and sangha, who have participated in satsang with Giten before, to a whole day on the topic The Pedagogics of the Buddhas: The Call of Compassion - The Art of Teaching.

This day will consist of spiritual keys from The Upanishads, the ancient insight and wisdom of India, for how to be a spiritual teacher and to develop the art and skill for how to counsel and guide a person along the path of love and truth.

To be a spiritual teacher you need to develop the skills and the art to convey the truth to others. It is the most difficult art, because something has to be said about something that cannot be said in language, something has to be transmitted which is not transmitable.

To be a spiritual teacher needs a particular training, a particular training to convey, a particular training to help, a particular training to advice and counsel, a particular training to create new devices and methods, because every individual and age need something different.

This day will be supported by silent satsang with Giten, which is a direct insight and experience of being. This experience can transform our entire being and consciousness.

Darshan is a meeting with Giten, where he can talk informally with individuals and small groups of seekers of truth. In darshan, Giten answers questions from seekers and gives initiation to seekers of truth.

During this day we will explore keys from The Upanishads:

1. Silence: The state of godliness, of egolessness, of emptiness, of meditation.

2. The teacher and student relationship.

3. Shraddha: Loving trust. The spiritual journey of the student is a journey from trust and love to emptiness and godliness.

4. The student: The student has to be ready to die, to go beoynd the go, to become nobody, which is to become one with the whole.

4. The Language of Silence - The transmission of Light: Understanding the difference between the language of words and the language of silence.

5. Truth has to be revealed step by step: Understanding that the truth has to be revealed in many steps. It has to be revealed slowly step by step.

SWAMI DHYAN GITEN

Giten experienced his first satori, his first glimpse of spiritual awakening, when he was 9 years old. This created a deep thirst and longing in his heart and being to return to this natural and effortless experience of being one with the Whole.

Swami Dhyan Giten has dedicated his life to teach the art of awareness and meditation. He conducts individual consultations, seminars and courses internationally. His quotes, articles and books have touched the hearts of thousands and are appearing with increasing frequency in magazines, blogs and websites.

Since he began to meditate when he was 15 years old, he has dedicated his life to the study and exploration of the inner journey in order to move out of his own way, to be in a flow, and to discover the authentic inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life.

He does not belong to any spiritual group or tradition; he is only interested to explore what it means to live with open eyes.

Giten's first professional passion when he was 15 years old was to become an actor. After training as an actor, he worked as an actor until he was 23 years old. Working as actor taught him a lot about life and to emphatically understand the situation and life of other people, since acting is really a spiritual occupation. It taught him about spirituality, since working as an actor means to play a role totally, while at the same time as you know deep down that you are not the role you are playing. After working as an actor for a number of years, Giten began to understand that his early passion for theatre was really an unconscious search for a spiritual discipline. When he realized this, he began to feel a thirst to work with people in a more direct way in awareness and meditation.

In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: "You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can."

He is author of the best-selling book in Swedish "Meditationens SÃng - Om meditation, relationer och andlig kreativitet" (Solrosens forlag, 2001, available from Internet book store Adlibris: www.adlibris.com), and "The Silent Whisperings of the Heart - An Introduction to Giten's Approach to Life" (2008, available as paperback at Internet book store Lulu.com:www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten), Presence - Working from Within. The Psychology of Being (2011, available as paperback at Internet book store Lulu:www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten) and "The Language of Silence - From Darkness to Light" (available in paperback at Lulu.com: www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten). His latest book has just been published, "Silence is the Way: The Teachings of Buddha" (available at Lulu: www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten)
