"All the forms of Buddhism present in the modern world are cultural modifications and not exactly what the Buddha taught. You are about to discover the original teachings of the Buddha" We have done a research to discover the original teaching of the Buddha. Our research has lasted for more than 50 years. In order to understand the teaching, we have not only read the original Pali Sutras that are accepted by scholars to be the earliest form of the teachings of the Buddha.
We use a background knowledge of modern philosophy, psychology and even modern science to help understand the very advanced teachings of the Buddha. This is not done through a blind faith in a culture or religion but based on a critical scientific method of exploring the teachings he offered. What has been discovered through this research is a wonderful system which is far more advance than any philosophy or science present today.​ These and many other inspiring topics offer new perspectives on core Buddhist teachings. 
  1. A compelling interpretation of Paticca Samuppada that explains the arising of dukkha at every moment as opposed to the traditional explanation which spans three lives.
  2. The path to Nibbana, through the gradual evolution of the Noble Eightfold Path, for which he uses the term the Supernormal Eightfold Way.
  3. The mental, physical, and physiological changes one experiences in the gradual deepening of tranquility in meditation and the states of jhana and insight.
  4. The difference between “existence” and “experience,” as expounded by the Buddha.

"Win the highest point in human evolution by mastering the  authentic meditation skills of the Buddha. Gain perfection in physical and mental health and happiness. Make a paradigm shift from existence to experience, which will awaken you from the dream of existence and set you free from every suffering including death itself..."
