Greetings,
I refurbished my introduction, so i thought i'd post it here, for those who know me.
About Maha Vajra / François Lépine
François Lépine was born in Canada on the 7th of July 1972. Raised by loving parents in an environment encouraging spirituality, François has memories of spiritual and ESP experiences since the age of 4, where he remembers having a child-level discussion with an angel.
He started working with computers as soon as he could read the slightest, at the age of 5. In parallel to his cybernetic pathway, he also kept his focus on spirituality and its various applications.
Martial arts studies started with Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 12, at the local martial arts school. In his adolescence, while he was absorbed in teaching computer science and programming languages to his friends, he was also studying (and practicing) all sorts of occult sciences, white, black, purple with orange dots, whatever the color or the flavor, he would learn and try.
Prone to “power trips”, and with a lot of arrogance and vanity, he got himself in trouble. Giving shocks to his nervous systems by overwhelming and unguided esoteric practices (including basic kuji-in), his friends fled from him, he entered into his dark age. Wise people say that suffering is a part of learning. At 16, he was ready to look at it in a responsible way.
Within the next few years, his brother got shot and killed, all remaining grand parents passed, his favorite uncle, two friends…lots of mourning. Many questions about life were on the menu. He got himself into classes of many type: psychology, sociology, philosophy, massage, Qi-Gong, martial arts, meditation, and of course, as many books as possible.
He studied with the masters that were available to him. He read and practiced continuously. Since the age of 19, he did all sorts of: pilgrimages, 7 days fasting, 72 hours meditation/chanting derbies, healing processes… the works. He studied the work of masters in Budhism, Hindu, Chinese and Japanese traditions, Kabbalah, Christian esoterism… thriving to get a global view of the spiritual arts he practiced.
Amongst others, he has especially been studying meditation and self-transformation. Since then he spent most of his time researching ancient scriptures and spiritual works, and practicing esoteric techniques, while being even more engaged on his spiritual path.
The first class he gave was “Psychological Mind-Building training” at the age of 21, at the college he was also studying psychology. It went on for a year and a half, and then he moved to Quebec City to study deeper in computer science, cinema and meditation.
Having left martial arts in the middle of his teens, he got back to it in his mid 20s, studying Wing-Chun Kung-Fu, Kenpo, and a bit of Ninjitsu, giving him a multi-cultural view of martial arts.
His first experience of enlightenment was at age 24. When coming back for meditation during a personal growth seminar he was attending, he sat on the grass outside, and he knew that he was the creator of all that he was observing, and he was also all that was created that reached his perception. He was one with everything, as the creator and as what was created at the same time. He looked at people dancing further in the field, close to a cow, and he was the people dancing, as well as the joy that they felt, as well as the cow wondering what it was all about. He describes this event as the experience of Truth, or in Sanskrit: Sat. When break was over and class was resumed outside in the middle of the field, he was sitting amongst everyone, and they were all seeking for him, including the teacher, and they did not see him while he was in his elevated state. After two minutes of waiting, when the teacher ask someone to go fetch him in the building, he simply raised his hand and said “I’m here”, and everyone was startled that they did not notice his presence until he declared it.
When he was 29, coming back from meditation, he was sitting on the biological waste-release device (guess!!), and he was looking at the walls knowing it was information standing still, and not tangible matter. He was looking at the code of the matrix, knowing all matter was knowledge of consciousness standing in a position simply because it remembers that it stands there. He calls this the experience of Mind-Consciousness, or in Sanskrit: Citta.
When he was 34, he was assisting a quantum physics convention, and he spent three days in a row in a state of unaltered bliss, while everyone else were having fun exchanging ideas and debating them, he was consciously happy at being this wonderful movement of pure joy in the form of a quest for truth. It was his first time experiencing, for more than a day, the existence of over-joy, over-happiness, ultimate unaffected unshakable bliss. He calls this experience that of bliss, or in Sanskrit: Ananda.
From these three major enlightenment outbreaks: Sat-Cit-Ananda, he gained the knowledge of Satchidananda, said to be the three properties of the Supreme Self. However, he did not gain this knowledge from studying, but from experiencing it as the Self.
Along his path, he was given the dharma name Maha Vajra, from the Buddhist community, and he is recognized as such by those who spendenough time close to him. Maha Vajra can mean Great Lightning, or like he describes with humor: Big Bang. By westerners, he likes to be called François instead of Master Lépine. By easterners and by his disciples, he likes to be called Maha instead of Venerable Maha Vajra.
Since 1991, he has been teaching and learning, sharing knowledge and opening his heart to those who ask for it. He wishes to share this knowledge with those who are ready to respect it and understand its value. This is not his knowledge. It is knowledge by itself, and it existed way long before all of us. He has been on a spiritual path since childhood, and today he shares his experience with those who would appreciate the guidance.
Aside being a spiritual teacher, he is a down-to-earth software programmer, graphic artist, and author. Like a few rare married enlightened masters, he is a husband and the father of two children. His spiritual teachings are adapted to the reality of our century. For those who are stuck with the complexity of their mental labyrinth, he likes to tease and play games that will provoke the awareness required to awaken. For those who simply cannot endure to sit and not-think, he teaches techniques that are fun to apply, which delivers entertaining results.
He does not believe that staying numb, forever in a meditative state contemplating the stars or the wall of a cave, is a way to embrace the full potential of our human experience. He believes in movement, action and responsibility. He believes in love, forgiveness and compassion. Joy is alive, Joy is powerful, Joy is movement. He wishes to help you attain what it is you seek, and together, we will all rejoice in the beauty of existence. |
