NEWS-> Podcasts previously listed here are now available at www.unfetteredmind.org. <- NEWS Unfettered Mind is a network of teachers and students that provides training in direct awareness (e.g., mahamudra and dzogchen in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition) for those whose path lies outside established centers and institutions. The principal teacher is Ken McLeod, translator, author, and executive director of Unfettered Mind.
Ken began his training in 1970 with the Tibetan master, the Ven. Kalu Rinpoche. Trained in the Kagyu, Shangpa, and Nyingma traditions of Buddhism in Tibet, he was authorized in 1985 by Kalu Rinpoche to teach and guide others. His book, Wake Up to Your Life (published in 2001), provides a comprehensive and accessible approach to practice, from the initial stages of meditation up to the full integration of open awareness into one’s life.
The recordings here are a selection of his teaching and retreats over the last several years and cover a wide range of topics: meditation, compassion, emptiness, power, conflict, and presence.
Ken’s approach, and the approach at Unfettered Mind, is to create environments of awareness, conditions in which people experience directly what it means to be awake and present in life. His teachings include pragmatic applications of Buddhist methods to the practicalities of life.
