Meditation Instruction Four types of Meditations unique to Universal Vehicle (Mahayana) Buddhism including: Equalizing Meditation, Wisdom Analysis, Giving & Taking, and Visualization (The Contemplative Psychotherapy Certificate Training commences another year in March 2015 at ITM, in affiliation with Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science) The Universal Vehicle (Mahayana) teachings of Buddhism are inspired by an altruistic motivation to optimally transform one’s mind, relationships and society based on the insight of our fundamental interdependence. Central to the tradition are wisdom and compassion training used to develop skills of clear perception purged of its myopic, negativity bias and interpersonal effectiveness enhanced by our natural mammalian affection. Given recent breakthroughs in affective neuroscience and health research on pro-social emotions, it is evident that contemplative methods designed to protect mind and brain from social stresses of alienation, shame, fear, and rage, are not only teachable skills but may enhance our ability to engage effectively with others in distress.
