The Path of Wisdom
- The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism
The Satsang series “The Path of Wisdom – The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism” with Giten��is��a guide for inner discipline and transformation,��and��an opportunity to help you to grow and to live in wisdom.
Based on the book��“Seven Points of Mind Training” by the Buddhist mystic Atisha, who brought Buddhism to Tibet, Giten will capture the essence of Tibetan Buddhism, and give us an accessible method for training the mind, awakening the heart and growing in love and kindness towards others.����In short, he will teach us to live with wisdom.
In a former Life, Giten was a spiritual counsellor in Dalai Lama’s palace Potala in Lhasa in��Tibet.
Satsang with Giten��is a direct insight and experience of being.��These Satsang evenings will begin with a lecture��and end with��Satsang��with Giten in silence and meditation.
SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He is trained in both modern psychology and in classic Eastern methods for 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”.
A spiritual teacher, who have counselled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: “You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva’s are just here to help you to get enlightened.”
He is author of the best-selling book “Meditationens S��ng” (Swedish edition,��www.adlibris.se), “The Silent Whisperings of the Heart”, “Presence – Working from within. The Psychology of Being” and “The Language of Silence: From Darkness to Light” (available at international book site��Lulu.com:��www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten).
COMMENTS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN SATSANG WITH GITEN
“Satsang with Giten was totally wonderful!”
- Toshen, Stockholm
“Giten gave me life back. An awakening. I have seen the beauty in life, and I know that that this is the way.
I like Giten a lot. He is fantastic. The presence and impact he has on people. His wisdom and humor.”
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm, participant in Sound & Silence: 2-Day Satsang Weekend with Giten, December 6-7, 2014
“It is so rare with this kind of silence.”
- Prem Kalyani, musician and accomplished violin player, participant in Satsang with Giten
“Hallelujah! The 1-day Satsang with Giten was fantastic. Magic. I left the Satsang, so in love with life. Happiness. I only feel love.”
-Prem Mukta, participant in Giten’s Satsang Intensive, February 15, in Stockholm
“In some moments, I realize what an incredible opportunity Satsang with Giten is, and in other moments I fall back to the unawareness and sleep of the mind. I had never dared to take the step to participate in Satsang with Giten if there was not such a love. Since I began to study for Giten, a new dimension of awareness has developed step by step, which has transformed my whole life.”
- Deva Emanuel , musician and student of Giten since 6 years
“Satsang with Giten is a rich and warm emptiness. I want to give Giten all love and my warmest thank you. Giten and the Satsang has given me so much. I have never been so close to happiness before. In many moments, life has become complete.”
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm��
“The silent Satsang yesterday felt strong. Almost immediately when we sat down in silent Satsang, I was filled with an energy so strong that it felt like I was surrounded by an almost physical energy field. I almost felt like I was going to levitate, like the energy was so compact that I could not sit still on the floor. It was like the Satsang danced, it was living its own life. It felt ancient, powerful and beyond control. And in the middle of everything, a loud and wild laughter grow, which I had to fight to keep back. It felt like I would never stop laughing if I began. When Giten sounded the bell that the Satsang was over, I had to concentrate to come back in one piece, remind the body of the frame, remind the head of the room, of the here and now. After a while, it worked, and the effect was that I felt happy, calm and full of love after Satsang.

���� – Swami Dhyan Giten
��
In December, 2014, the American House of Representatives voted for a resolution against Russia, which has been critized as a declaration of war against Russia.
These war plans against Russia began when the U.S. over thrown the democratically elected government in Ukraine in an secret operation by the CIA, the world’s largest����terrorist organization, and replaced it with a fascistic regime, a��marionette for the U.S.��
��
The U.S. is no longer a democracy, but can described as a military dictatorship.

We see the same aggression and lies from the U.S. that we have seen��before against Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and Iran.
“But this time it will not work as the time for wars are over, says��spiritual teacher and author Swami Dhyan Giten, “and many peace loving people are working against this kind of aggression.”

Sound & Silence: 2-Day Satsang Weekend with Swami Dhyan Giten, February 7-8, 2015, in Stockholm
Sound & Silence:
2-Day Satsang Weekend with Swami Dhyan Giten
February 7-8, 2015, in Stockholm
“Giten’s work is of the beyond,
it leads you beyond yourself, which I love. If I look back at the person that I was before I started Satsang with Giten and the person that I am now, it is two totally different persons.”
- Prem Mukta, participant in Sound & Silence: 2-Day Satsang Weekend with Giten, December 6-7, 2014, in Stockholm
This 2-day Satsang Weekend is Giten’s invitation to everyone, who have the inner thirst and longing for a direct recognition that our heart is the door to our being, our inner “yes”-quality, our authentic self, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life.
This 2-day Satsang with Giten is an opportunity for a direct insight and realization of being. To meet our inner being means to witness and affirm everything that we already are.
It is to meet that that which is already perfect within ourselves.
Silence is the only way to convey truth – from one silent heart to another silent heart. A man of silence moves with a certain field of energy around him, and if you are receptive, his vibe starts touching your heart. Giten has developed a quality of subtle catalytic effect, which can help you to a direct insight and realization of being. It is a silent transmission from one silent heart to another silent heart. Participants in the 1-day Satsang Intensive with Giten on October 11, commented that there occurred spontaneous moments of deep silence and emptiness. The Satsang participant Prem Mukta said: “Giten’s work is of the beyond, it leads you beyond yourself, which I love.”
During this 2-day Satsang we will explore three keys to spiritual maturity, which will function as three underlying currents and which will be developed intertwined during the Satsang weekend: 1. The inner being: the first key is to develop the inner “yes”-quality, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life. 2. The balance of life: the second key is to expand our being and to embrace the opposite poles and tendencies of life in meditation and creativity, love and freedom, relating and aloneness, happiness and sadness, fear and trust, sound and silence, the silent, watchful and female pole in meditation and the creative, active and masculine pole in meditation – silence in our inner center and movement in the periphery, where we learn to float with the river of life, rather than trying to swim against the current of life and 3. The Ultimate Mystery: the third key is to learn to recognize the precious moments of silence and emptiness, where the inner being becomes a door to oneness with life and where we understand that we have never been separated from life. A man of silence finds this whole world full of silence. Even the sounds only deepen his silence. The Ultimate Mystery is only heard when the mind is completely silent. It is the sound of silence. It is a silence dancing. And it is the most beautiful experience.
In a loving and supportive climate and atmosphere, and by using both open space for truthful communication with Giten and silent satsang, this 2-day Satsang presents a great opportunity for a direct remembrance and recognition of the pure being that we already are. We recognize the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature. We realize all our possibilities for love, joy, acceptance, humor, trust, creativity, truth, freedom, silence, wisdom and oneness with life.

Happy Christmas – Frohe Weihnacht – Feliz Navidad – Buno Natale
LOVE
by Swami Dhyan Giten
Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.
The human heart is a healer, which heals both other people and ourselves. The open heart is like a fountain, which no longer make any distinction between: “I like you – I do not like you”. The open heart does not make any difference between friends and enemies. The open heart is open both for ourselves and for other people. The open heart is unconditional love.
Intuition is our true inner voice, the ever-present inner source of love, truth and wisdom, and the silent Existential voice within ourselves. Through the intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.
Our heart is the door to allow Existence to guide us – instead of being directed by our own ideas, attitudes and preconceived expectations of how life should be.
When our heart is closed, it can create a lonely and isolated feeling together with the attitude: “Nobody loves me” or “Nobody cares about me”, which can make it hard for other people to love us.
The basic problem with the world is that there is too much hate and too little love.
The fourth level of consciousness is placed in the middle of the heart. The fourth level of consciousness is the human heart. The heart relates to unconditional love and acceptance both for ourselves and for other people. The heart relates to qualities such as empathy, joy, acceptance, trust, intuition, understanding, compassion, playfulness, healing, friendship, sincerity and a sense of oneness in love.
The human heart has both an active and outgoing quality and a receptive and ingoing quality. The outgoing quality is active love and the ingoing quality means to allow both others and ourselves to love us.
Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being.
A silent revolution of the heart happens when we begin to care about another person and it is a joy to put the needs of the other person before our own needs. It is on the consciousness level of the heart that we begin to develop the awareness and sensitivity, which makes us begin to care about another person.
When our heart is closed, it creates a lonely and isolated feeling. It prevents us from seeing the love that surrounds us all the time. It is when we begin to open our heart that we discover a feeling of oneness in love with other people, with nature, with the trees, with the stones, with the ocean and with the blue sky.
I remember when I had a painful relationship with a woman and did not know what I wanted to do with the relationship. Then I closed my eyes and asked my own intuition, my inner source of love and truth, Existence within myself, what I should do with the relationship. The answer that came in a silent whisper was: “Focus on love, not on a specific person.”
It is on the consciousness level of the heart that we begin to understand that we are not separated from life. We begin to understand that we are not small separate islands in a great ocean, but that life is one and that we all are small parts of the Whole. We begin to understand what is really important and meaningful in life. It is on the consciousness level of the heart that we begin to understand that life is about sharing, rather than hoarding. We begin to understand that life is about giving, rather than taking.
Above the consciousness level of the heart, we need a teacher and a guide. It is somebody who “knows”, who has walked further on the path than us and who can guide, encourage and inspire us. There is an Indian saying: “When the disciple is ready, the teacher occurs.”
Our heart is actually already open, but it is our judgments about others and ourselves that keep it closed. When we stop judging others and ourselves, our heart begins to open. The way to healing is to learn to love and accept ourselves unconditionally. It means to embrace both our positive and negative sides with love. It means to love everything that we find inside ourselves. Healing happens when we bring everything that we find inside ourselves out into the light.
Trust is a requirement for love. Without trust, love becomes without depth. It becomes like a plastic rose, instead of a fresh and alive rose. Even if some people will use and betray our trust, it is not a reason to allow them to undermine our basic trust in life. It is better to allow some people to betray our trust than to not allow our basic trust in life to develop. Many people are also so sleeping and unconscious that they do not even know what they are doing. Even if we feel hurt, disillusioned and disappointed with people, try to give them love. One criterion for spiritual maturity is that we begin to give love, instead of needing love.
The really poor are those that think that money are the meaning of life. When we lack love in our life, money becomes a substitute.
Love is to eat pizza with our beloved even though we hate pizza.
We have been taught to love others, but not to love ourselves. But how can we love others if we do not love ourselves first? The ABC of love is that we first need to love ourselves before we can love anybody else.
Exactly as the rhythm of the in breath and out breath of the physical body, love has also two poles: to give love and to allow ourselves to be loved. Some people can easier give love, while others can easier be loved. But for our love to be whole, we need to learn to both give love and allow ourselves to be loved.
Love and fear are two sides of the same coin. In the absence of love, fear arises. In the light of love, fear disappears. Fear is a contraction of our life energy together with a feeling of loneliness and isolation. Love creates an expansion of our life energy together with a feeling of love, joy and belongingness with life.
Love is the strongest force there is. There is no stronger healing power than love. Love is pure magic. Love transforms people without really does anything. The mere presence of love transforms people. There is nothing more holy than love since love makes people whole.
Love accepts a human being as she is. Love creates the freedom for a human being to be who she is. Love creates the relaxation, which helps a person to relax into her own inner being, into her own authentic self.
Love allows us to appreciate the beautiful being we already are.
Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality of our inner being. It is to discover the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature.
In the depth of our heart, we already know that we are perfect as we are. In the depth of our inner being, we already know that life is perfect as it is.
Love is the most valuable gift we can give to another person. What we need to do is to open our heart and release our love to the world, to the people, to nature, to the animals, to the trees and to the sky – and this love will be returned a thousand times to us.
The basic fear with love is that love is larger than ourselves.
Love means to realize that we are one with life. Real love means to realize that we are one with the other person, one with nature, and one with the trees, the stones, the earth and the blue sky. It means to realize that all of life is God.

Drunk with Satsang
“During the Satsang with Giten a new phenomenon happened: I felt an inner light, an inner radiance, which came from the third eye. And after the Satsang, I felt almost intoxicated, drunk.”
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm
Satsang with Giten continues on Thursdays in Stockholm during January 2015.
