Mahasiddha Path

A 6 + year traditional Buddhist path of study and practice

Mahasiddha literly means “great being” in Sanskrit and denotes a person with a high level of meditative insight. The Buddhist path is deepening our ability to take the reigns of our mind; not take the content of the mind as reality; bring mindfulness and loving-kindness into our body, speech, and mind; open our heart/mind; and wake up to the present moment.
