What is distinct about DLI?
The Institutemakes the essence teachings and practices of spiritual work available in a western idiom. Rather than transplant or translate systems from other cultures, over the past 27 years we have been developing materials, teachings, and practices in ways that use the English language, that work from fundamental principles, and that are appropriate to the contemporary lives of people in the world. The Way of Dedication incorporates many types of practices including mindfulness, breath and energetic work, tantric and Vajrayana practices from the Tibetan Buddhist, Bon, and Dzogchen traditions as well as from Taoism and Kaballah.Another distinct feature of the Institute is that we offer programs which train people to apply the philosophy and practices in professional work and in relationships.
