Meditation Master Mark Griffin
Mark Griffin (1954–2018) was an American spiritual teacher, artist, and musician whose work brought the depth of the Siddha and Vajrayana traditions into a modern Western setting. Mark devoted his life to meditation, awakening, and the direct realization of the Self.
“To truly act from a place of Love and not fear. To be genuinely creative in our approach to life in all its formations. To Awaken. This is the true spirit of meditation; no fairy tales, no promise of heaven, just the brisk, vigorous clarity of life energized by the presence of the Self.”
