Dragon's Pearl Sangha
You are not what you think!
The truth of what we really are is so evident as to be unrecognized by just about everyone. Suffering occurs because we identify with the story of 'me' and all of its conditioning, memories, beliefs, and ideas, and not with our original nature: the source of 'me'.
Recognizing the truth of what you really are is the beginning of the end of identification, and consequently, suffering.
Have you realized the truth of this directly?
The process of realizing your true nature is not difficult. Nor does it require years of following any particular path. All it takes is a sincere desire to see the truth.
Our approach
Dragon's Pearl Sangha utilizes an integrated non-sectarian approach involving the core principles and practices of both Zen Buddhism and non-duality.
Direct Pointing Sessions
Direct pointing sessions are private one-on-one video teleconferencing sessions (using Zoom).
Initial Direct Pointing Sessions (also known as Awakening Sessions) are designed to assist you in directly realizing your true nature and to facilitate awakening and are highly recommended for any individual who has a sincere desire to realize their true nature.
Initial Direct Pointing Sessions utilize the Living Method of Awakening, developed by Fred Davis (www.awakeningclaritynow.com), a playful, yet profound, systematic method of awakening that works.
Follow-up sessions are less systematic than initials sessions and are designed to assist individuals in stabilizing their awakening and working through residual conditioned patterns.
Initial direct point sessions last approximately 1 1/2 hours long and cost $175. Follow-up inquiry sessions last approximately 1 hour and cost $125.
