About Burgs

Burgs has established himself over the past ten years as one of the leading Meditation Teachers and Healers in the UK. The respect he has earned in both these capacities is due to the wonderful results being achieved by those who work with him which stands as testimony to his rare abilities. Even in Asia where he was previously trained for over 12 years by some of the world's foremost healers and meditation masters, he has been recognized as a truly gifted teacher and healer. Perhaps his achievements in meditation and the depth of insight into the nature of disease and ill health are even rarer. Burgs learned healing and meditation from Merta Ada ( the founder of Bali Usada meditation ) with whom he worked for 6 years, before travelling to Burma where he was personally instructed by the famous Pa Auk Sayadaw.

In Burma he practiced intensively for three years to become the first westerner and lay person to complete all 40 of the Meditation practices taught in the Buddha's Sutta teachings, including the mastery of the 10 kassina meditations to the highest level of Samadhi ( 8th Jhana ). During his time at Pau Auk Monastery he regularly gave monks meditation guidance with their practice and he was the first westerner to be qualified to teach the Visuddhimagga by The Venerable Pau Auk Sayadaw.

Such abilities are rare these days, and even more so outside the ordained community of monks and nuns, which makes Burgs a uniquely talented lay teacher of meditation.

During his time under the guidance of Pa Auk Sayadaw, Burgs began teaching around South East Asia where he met Dzogchen Rinpoche who advised him to visit Dodrupchen Rinpoche, the highly revered Meditation master in Sikkim, North India. From Dodrupchen Rinpoche Burgs received direct transmission in some of the highest Dzogchen teachings, and showing positive signs of attainment, was further instructed to begin meditation for the liberation from suffering of other beings. This work he continues privately to this day along side his more public role as a meditation teacher and healer.

Since it is no longer possible for him to keep up with the demand to give individual healing sessions, he now teaches and gives healing in group workshops and retreats throughout the world. As the demand for healing has increased, he has spent the last few years working tirelessly to develop some of the most powerful healing medicines currently available any where. He now makes these available to those who are genuinely committed to their own healing and meditation.
He prefers to keep a low profile, and so does not advertise his work widely. Instead he has allowed it to grow organically on the back of the results he achieves, and by word of mouth and recommendations of those who have worked with him.
