Working with others as The Dharma Lamas, Alex enjoys performing Buddhist mantras: chanting, singing and playing instruments to authentic Sanskrit mantras. The group of participants is encouraged to join in and sing! This is a powerful, transformative and devotional experience for all and people experience a heightened sense of being present during the event and afterwards. Get in touch to book us for an hour. Remember to leave your ego at the door.
From the Buddhist perspective: the idea of individual self is an illusion. It is not possible to separate self from its' surroundings. Buddha in Lankavatara Sutra states, “Things are not what they seem… Deeds exist, but no doer can be found” (Majjhima Nikaya, 192).
From the non Buddhist perspective: We perceive the self as a result of different regions in our brain trying to combine our experiences, thoughts, and behaviours into a narrative, and in this sense the self is artificial.
