Radiant Mind

What is Radiant Mind?

Radiant Mind arises when unconditioned awareness radiates through the totality of our conditioned existence. When we live in radiant mind, we experience ourselves as a unique human being, while at the same time resting in a unified expanse of centerless and boundless awareness. This state is called liberation, buddhanature, egolessness, pure presence, nondual wisdom, our natural condition, and effortless being.

The ultimate goal of all human endeavors

This state is the ultimate goal of all human endeavors. Why? Because when we rest in unconditioned awareness, there’s nothing more that we need. There is nowhere further to go. It’s the only state that’s totally fulfilling. Radiant Mind programs direct us to the space of unconditioned awareness as a way of transcending suffering and embracing the future, free of fragile hopes and deep-seated fears.

Time-honored nondual traditions

Our programs are inspired by the Mahayana Buddhist traditions of Zen, Dzogchen, Mahamudra and Madhyamaka. Our programs use the timeless realization of nondual awareness as the source for authentic intimacy, healing and inner peace.

Radiant Mind programs combine the ultimate view of Asia’s most refined nondual traditions and the finely-honed skills of Western psychology. Our programs blend the liberating power of nondual wisdom with the intimacy and psychological depth we find in Western counseling and therapy.

In Radiant Mind we do nothing more, and nothing less, than what is required to rest confidently in the radiance of pure being. Our work addresses this challenge through skillfully refined forms of contemplative inquiry that lead us directly into the space of spontaneously arising, nondual presence.

Awakening Nondual Awareness—a 3-month self-guided course

Based on the Radiant Mind book and a set of 7 CDs published by Sounds True.

Whether it is called enlightenment, pure awareness, or “unconditioned awareness,” there exists an awakened state of pure liberation that is at the heart of every contemplative tradition. According to Peter Fenner, this experience of boundless consciousness does not have to exist separately from our day-to-day, “conditioned” existence.

Students in the West often feel frustrated in trying to follow the Eastern path to awakening, confused by seemingly vague or counter-intuitive teachings. Peter Fenner created the Radiant Mind practice to help you break through the obstacles that are often challenging for practitioners in our culture.

Drawing on his background in Eastern spirituality and Western psychology, Fenner brings you a precise, step-by-step approach to nondual practice that includes:

  • how to observe and dissolve fixations, to live in the here and now without being controlled by our desires
  • listening and speaking in a way that moves us toward pure openness—and lets us share this experience with others
  • tools for identifying our conscious and unconscious sources of suffering—and learning to transcend those patterns

“As extraordinary as unconditioned mind may sound,” teaches Peter Fenner, “it isn’t distant from our everyday life; it’s always readily available to us.” With Radiant Mind, this master teacher crystallizes the contemplative wisdom of the East into an eminently accessible guide for living a life suffused with pure bliss.
