What is a "Formal Student"?

IMG_6018 copy.jpg
 

Some of those attending Tushita Mystery School are drawn to practice and explore this way of life, emphasising  our inherent OKness in a more formal way.

This includes a sincere  desire to put into practice the learnings and understandings that arise from a more unproblematical relationship to life – in all the areas of our life.

It also includes attendance at Tushita Hermitage with Arohananda Ma or Yanchiji being the guiding teachers during this time and coming to Listening Groups  (currently in Wellington, Auckland and Peria Valley).

There are no tests, beliefs or monetary requirements to become a formal student.  Studentship by its very nature is open to us all.
