We would like to thank our friends from Deer Park for organizing this course. We would also like to thank Rajender ji for recording, sorting, and processing the recordings. The recordings are of very high quality. We know this took a lot of work and time, and we really appreciate it.

The understanding of training in samadhi in the tradition of disciples and of Bodhisattvas is based on scriptures and personal experience in these two types of training.

The present course is suitable for all kinds of students interested in meditation on breath as the basis for training in both concentration and wisdom. The students will learn how the breath is used to develop different stages of absorption into the breath, in and out breath, whole body breath in the intermediate periods between in and out breath and ultimately for understanding of the insight practice in both traditions, that of disciples, and in the non-dualistic tradition connected with the bodhisattva training. A background in the study and practice of Theravada and Chinese tradition will be appreciated, but is not necessary. The main aim of the course is to share the experience of training assisted by outstanding teachers in both traditions.
