A Buddhist Experience

grant-02
Grant Pastuck is a long-time Buddhist practitioner who came to Yasodhara Ashram at the invitation of a friend. He marvels at what he experienced when he stepped into Karma Yoga and the Light & Vibration course.

This is the best retreat centre I’ve been to. The sacred is everywhere. There are all the icons and the gardens as reminders of the spiritual path, and then there is nature itself.

In Buddhism we have the Buddha, dharma and sangha. The sangha is what I felt here. People care about each other and support each other’s work. They are earnest practitioners.

The heart opening here is remarkable. I just jumped in. I had heart experiences that were blowing me away. It was nice to get that out. Another thing I gained here was the Divine Light practice – spectacular. It’s one of the most profound practices I’ve received. It seems so simple, but it incorporates a lot and is very Buddhist.

My experience of Hidden Language Hatha Yoga was like “speed insight” and I learned about the power of vibration by chanting mantra. In Buddhism we have more emphasis on meditation.

I hope to bring a Buddhist group to the Ashram. The space is so conducive to practice of any kind.
