SUNDAY SPEAKER : ROBERT AHO

Posted on by

Our Speaker Sunday is ROBERT AHO.  His topic is “REMAINING at EASE DURING TURBULENT TIMES”.

The talk will include insights into our energetic dimension, various ways to deal with constant change, as well as how to diminish disturbing emotions.  This topic will be further explained as related to our Real Condition beyond belief, as energy.  Robert will explain how we must deal with energy, how having knowledge of this will help us when we die, as well as how we face dreams and daily life.

Bio: Robert Aho is a member of Lake Superior Interfaith Community Church, and a frequent speaker, often focusing on his experiences in the death bardo, along with Spiritual Practice.  He spends much time meditating in nature.  Although he has had several Buddhist teachers of various backgrounds, his main practice is Dzogchen, which is considered the ninth vehicle of Buddhism.  Dzogchen actually predates Buddhism by at least several thousand years.

Robert’s Root Guru is Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, who has recently passed away. 

Robert has led meditation groups, led retreats, written two books, Timeless Luminosity and The Frog: A Spiritual Autobiography, Spanning Many Lifetimes, given talks all over the world, and writes a newsletter, which includes a podcast.  Although Robert is retiring, he also practices architecture, and has done numerous activities related to this, written articles, taught classes, as well as organized and led events.  Robert also keeps busy with a wide variety of various creative endeavors, such as poetry, prose, painting, photography, and, most recently, publishing.
