According to the non-dual understanding, our own deeper Self, when fully known, is not different from the Self, the reality, in all beings.

True Self-knowledge brings us lasting peace, inner freedom, fearlessness and fulfilment.

Please make sure that you come to the right venue!

There are two hotels with very similar names. The one where the meeting is being held is called NH Amsterdam Centre, which is next to Leidseplein tram stop and near the Rijksmuseum. The other is called NH City Centre Amsterdam, near Rokin.

They are not the same! The event is being held at NH Amsterdam Centre, next to Leidseplein tram stop.

The aim and purpose of the non-dual teachings is Self-realisation, the full and direct knowledge of the nature of one’s true Self.

This Self is the reality underlying appearances, and it is the same in all, free of all limitations. Thus this Self-Knowledge is also called enlightenment or liberation.

On the way we cultivate qualities which are valuable both as means to this end and in themselves. Among these is the deep conviction that the teachings of non-duality are in principle true. This is called indirect (as opposed to direct) knowledge, and it is an important stage on the practical path.

As our understanding and practice of the non-dual teachings grow, we gain the quality of discernment. This is the ability to distinguish between what is real, lasting and significant, and what is apparent and transient.

With discernment come equanimity, evenness of mind and detachment.

Discernment and equanimity allow us to appreciate life more fully, and to cope best with its vicissitudes.

In this way we find inner freedom, lasting peace, fearlessness and fulfilment.
