Testimonies

So as testimony to what you might expect to achieve form learning and working with Burgs, here are some of the comments from those who have previously done so……

“I have worked with so many different teachers over the last 30 years. I want you all to understand how lucky you are to be working with Burgs. His extraordinary gift to be able to transmit the essence of such deep and ancient wisdom with such clarity and simplicity is so rare. You are so lucky if you are coming to this work for the first time and are just learning to meditate now. You are getting it and getting it right first time. So few do that. For many it may take them all their lives to even find a teacher who can teach with authenticity from direct experience the way that Burgs does. Don’t be deceived by the fact he is young. It is a blessing, because it means he will be around for many years. Thank you”

“My idea of what I thought was possible has been completely blown out of the water by what I have experienced with Burgs over the last two years. The Retreat in Devon has totally changed my life and set me on my path, and the extraordinary time with Burgs in Bali was a truly amazing experience. To work under the guidance of someone who can bring this Dhamma, this truth to life with such clarity and vision in the country that we live in, let alone on the planet in the way it is right now, is a true blessing. We should appreciate this and use it wisely because it is really amazing…A real gift.”

“Hand on heart, I could not have asked for a better teacher, mentor, and friend. He has tolerated my abuse and ignorance with love, flattered none of my vanity, inspired me to walk the path when I may have given up hope and caringly steered me along the way. I am so grateful.”

“I have known Burgs for half my life. To have him as a friend is one thing , but to be a pupil of a teacher is another, and he is without doubt the best teacher I have every had. I feel very honoured and very privileged to take him as my teacher. The experience of sharing something that is so profoundly good and for the benefit of all beings is both truly humbling and amazing.”

“To finally learn and see that life really is like a lotus leaf…just the way they always tell you…to learn to see with such clarity what we maybe have sensed and longed to know all our lives …to be given the tools by which me can finally make sense of our life and condition…this is truly profound and rare. The gratitude we feel to you Burgs for giving us such clarity and the tools by which to navigate life are beyond words. To learn to joyfully and patiently observe the gentle opening of that lotus is such a deep blessing. To trust the process is to know that we need nothing more. What a relief. Thank you.”

“To have spent our lives learning or trying desperately to acquire more and more…What a relief it is to finally realise that actually it’s about letting go. And to find within these profound teachings such simplicity and the confidence to trust that yes…It IS alright to let go…Oh thank you, thank you!”

“I have felt such a deep sense of healing here this week. I have recently been diagnosed with a serious conditions and the prognosis isn’t all that good. But I have found a practice and a teaching that I not only believe in but can feel working and healing me at the deepest level. I had confidence from the first retreat I did last month but only here did I realise what an extraordinary healing presence Burgs is. When he left the room for interviews during our meditation the other day I was having a particularly good session. For the first time I was really directly aware of energy and the healing I had been receiving form Burgs. But it was extra ordinary. When he walked out of the room I felt as if the lights had been switched half off!”

“A few months ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I met Burgs two days before I had my operation and he suggested I joined his retreat. I delayed my chemo to do so and started taking his medicine. You know I sailed through Chemo …Even my consultant couldn’t believe it. Now I am in remission…My oncologist doesn’t want to see me and more and I feel better that I ever have. I feel I have a new life…one I may not have had. And what’s more I am so excited about my new life. I have felt so much healing this week even more than when I first came. Thank you Burgs.”

“The first time I went for a retreat with Burgs I did not know what to expect. I thought I’d just be learning how to meditate. Little did I know that this one singular event would change my life from then on! Instilled with enthusiasm I went back to my friends telling them all about the amazing time I had had.”

“From feeling a momentary sense of joy and peace sitting on the first retreat, the second retreat was vastly different. This time I had what was to be an epiphany in my life. I can’t believe how much it has affected me. Sitting still and just being with one. It’s truly amazing. The mixture of chi gung and meditation is a perfect combination - they go hand in hand. The stiller your mind gets, the deeper you go. And with the chi gung releasing all of the “stuff” you dig up from inside your psyche - its truly liberating! My life has truly turned a corner and I ain”t looking back!”

“We are blessed to be touched by such a great teacher”
