  1. Pillars of spiritual training

  2. Greetings! We wish to welcome you to an authentic, living lineage of spiritual teachings – led by Qapel (Doug Duncan) and Sensei (Catherine Pawasarat). Our roots are primarily based in the Vajrayana buddhadharma teachings, but also include Western Mystery teachings and modern therapeutic approaches to spiritual awakening and liberation. Many paths up the mountain: Our approach to spiritual awakening:

  3. Spiritual Roots The Namgyal Lineage • Where are these teachings coming from? Our root guru was the Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche, recognised as a Karma Kagyu lineage master.  Prior to being recognised and enthroned as Namgyal Rinpoche, he was first ordained by Ven. Sayadaw U Thila Wunta in Burma, where he trained for many years, and given the name Ananda Bodhi. • Learn More… Teacher Bios Qapel (Doug Duncan) & Sensei (Catherine Pawasarat) • Qapel (Achariya Doug Duncan) and Sensei (Catherine Pawasarat) are Dharma Teachers and Planet Dharma’s principle teachers. They also founded and are resident at Clear Sky Meditation Centre in BC, Canada. • LEARN MORE

  4. Spiritual Training for Modern People • Teachings of liberation are manyfold. Our particular approach is not for everyone. This is a particular lineage for determined students who want to unfold quickly and deeply. Whatever compassionate methods helps beings suffer less, we might use, and they might not adhere to political correctness. It makes for a fresh and real revolution in one’s being.  We have laid out our teaching methodology below, via four pillars and five principles. • LEARN MORE AWAKENING TODAY

  5. Meditation • Meditation is a powerful tool by which we reach bliss, clarity and then wisdom.  By applying concentration to an object (such as the breath or a mantra and visualisation), we develop calm and increase bliss.  Building on this, we meditate to increase insight into the true nature of phenomena and our minds. Karma Yoga • As a form of ‘meditation in action’, karma yoga helps us be of service while we contact calm and concentration. By establishing attention on the activity in front of us, rather than on our personal issues and difficulties, we learn how to work with others unhindered by our own conflicting states or those of others. Learning • By engaging our minds, asking better questions and exposing ourselves to different ideas and concepts, we grow. A spiritual path of learning includes discovery, exploration and study, and incorporates both formal study and apprenticeship-style modalities.  Shadow Integration • The ‘shadow’ is the aspects of our psyches that we have pushed into the dark and ignored.  How we feel about power, money and sex are three examples.  In essence ‘shadow work’ addresses the lower three chakras, providing a solid foundation on top of which the higher chakras can flower. FOUR PILLARSOF SPIRITUAL TRAINING

  6. Here are the five principles for spiritual practice: • Meditating on the fly, bringing your awareness everywhere. • You learn, over time how to communicate more skillfully while also acknowledging and humbling yourself to the fact that you might not have as much experience as others on the path – so • Honouring the wisdom of others with more experience, as we would if we were studying anything professionally. • You have to want to stretch your comfort zone, to get uncomfortable, and to do that with others, and • Really embracing community and not running away when it starts to heat up.  That’s where break through and liberation lie. FIVE PRINCIPLES

  7. Meet Doug Duncan and Catherine PawasaratDHARMA TEACHERS & SPIRITUAL MENTORS • We wrote this book because we felt that people are in struggle, and are also looking for a release from their struggles. • As Dharma Teachers, we are based in Canada, and teach internationally. We work closely with students as mentors and guides along the path.  • The main thing we’d like to see people get out of the book, is question, debate, and dialogue. A willingness to engage in subjects that may be settled in your mind…but then to open the door to “Oh! That’s an interesting idea.” Question raising is the number one approach to the path of awakening beyond the realization. THE AUTHORS
