Current Course Offerings From The Laughing Man Institute

The Laughing Man Institute (LMI) is the public education division of Adidam. It develops and provides a full range of courses, lectures, retreats, and seminars about Avatar Adi Da Samraj and the Way of Adidam, and also about the Great Tradition of religion, Spirituality, and human development. The Laughing Man Institute offers an alternative to scientific materialism and religious provincialism. Its courses enable: guided study of the Revelation Word of Adi Da Samraj; reception of Adi Da's Transcendental Spiritual Transmission, and initiation of the process of recognizing Who He Is; preparation for fruitful practice of the God-Revealing and God-Realizing Way of Adidam.

Contact Devotees in a Region Near You

All Adidam practitioners become devotees not because they have decided to take up a new belief system or a set of spiritual techniques, but because they have received a unique Revelation: they have received the Transcendental Spiritual Transmission of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. That there are over a thousand people around the world who can speak about this Revelation in personal terms is an extraordinary fact and an uncommon opportunity for those who have been searching for Spiritual Revelation themselves. (For that matter, so is the Spiritual fact that there is no limit whatsoever on the number of people who can receive Adi Da Samraj's Transmission, if only they knew about It and did what was necessary to make themselves available to It.) Your best starting point for getting more familiar with Adidam and Adi Da Samraj (in addition to reading books about Adidam or listening to tapes or CDs) is to contact a devotee in your neighborhood. To help you do this, we've put together a list of contacts below, organized by location.

Special Events

Most of our events are listed by region on our Regional Events page. (Some also appear in our Videos of Coming Events.) However, on this page, we list certain special events that may hold a broader-than-regional interest, including: major retreats at the European Danda, The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary, or elsewhere around the world; celebrations at The Mountain Of Attention; special workshops; lectures, workshops, or retreats featuring one or more of our "A speakers"; exhibitions and events associated with Adi Da's Image-Art; events based on (or associated with) Adi Da's book, Not-Two Is Peace; theatrical events associated with Adi Da's dramatic literature; and more.

Art Events and Exhibitions

Adi Da created visual, literary, and performance art for more than forty years with a single intention: to produce works of art that would draw people beyond the feeling of egoic separateness into the feeling of the inherent unity of existence. This page lists exhibits and other events providing access to Adi Da's Image-Art.

What Next?

The purpose of this site is to communicate an unprecedented, Transcendental Spiritual Opportunity: the Revelation of the Divine through the human form of Adi Da Samraj. Adi Da's Incarnation provides the means — the Way of Adidam — by which all of us can Awaken and Realize our greatest possible destiny: Divine Enlightenment. Be sure to read our stories about how others first found Avatar Adi Da, as well as accounts of devotees' personal understanding and experience of who Adi Da is. (We offer not only written stories from devotees but video as well.) While every story of how each person found Adi Da — and how each received the Revelation that He is the Divine Person — is a little different, one thing that all of these stories have in common is that every such person began to immerse themselves in Adi Da in every way possible . . . and that prepared the way for the Revelation to Gracefully occur in their own case. if your heart is responding to what you are receiving on this site, then do immerse yourself in Adi Da, to the point where the Revelation occurs in your own case!
