THE WAY OF MEDITATION

“The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation.”
(Milarepa)

Meditation runs through all the branches of Boabom, directly or not, because every movement is by itself meditation; a way of cultivating one’s own energy through a constant dialog between mind and body (sgom pa/སྒོམ་པ།[tib.]).
Nevertheless, in the Boabom Arts, Meditation is also developed as a separate technique, through special courses offered by the Boabom Schools, which work to develop pscyhic balance, relaxation, and harmony. 
One aspect of Boabom Meditation is found in the book “Bamso, The Art of the Dreams”, which introduces the basic methods of control of awareness in Astral Travels (unmani, svapnadarzana [sans.], rmi lam/རྨི་ལམ།[tib.], rmi ltas/རྨི་ལྟ།[tib.]), or conscious projection in dreams, as one more tool for the knowledge of oneself and the surrounding world.

Excerpt from the book Bamso, The Art of Dreams:

“Finally, the third discipline of the mind is ‘Constancy’; meditate on this. Constancy has given shape to the whole universe, from the smallest atom to the largest star. Constancy has given shape to every form of life that you know, even your own. If you wish to trespass the frontiers of dreams you will have to know this last discipline.”

THE WAY OF PEDAGOGY

“Patience… Everything has its time; for now knit, just knit; be an Artisan of the Mind.”
(Quote from the book: Bamso, the Art of Dreams)

This branch of Boabom is devoted to the Art of Teaching (or aam-ato[bb], ston pa/སྟོན་པ།[tib]). It prepares students with some degree of seniority, responsibility, and apprenticeship, to be future Teachers of the different Boabom Arts.
If you would like to teach Boabom you must first study at one of the Boabom Schools, and after some time some time as a student (at least the 4th stage) you may then apply to take courses in Pedagogy, to begin the path of Apprentice or Assistant-Teacher.

Text for Boabom Teachers: “Health Manual for the Boabom Arts”.
