FAQ
Q. Do I have to believe in any sort of specific truth in FHL?
A. FHL is a mystical spiritual school, which means people are given the knowledge and tools to experience truth for themselves as they gain higher consciousness. The work is based on direct inner spiritual experience rather than belief imposed from outside.
Q. Are there any requirements for joining FHL as a member?
A. Anyone can join. Genuine Spiritual seekers of any age, race, gender, creed or no creed at all are welcome. FHL embraces all religions of the past and transformational psychology of the present, into one spiritual path. FHL is for those who seek genuine spiritual knowledge and meditation in their lives.
Q. Is FHL related to any religious or political group?
A. No. FHL is non-political and unaffiliated with any particular religion. FHL embraces all religious traditions, with no bias towards any, and goes beyond them to point to the underlying unity, the One Truth, the One Reality. Our teachings are universal truths about the Divine Reality in the Cosmos and in human beings.
Q. Do I have to be a vegetarian to join FHL?
A. No. Enlightenment is not a matter of what we eat, wear, or other habits. It’s about inner spiritual transformation and consciousness. People on drugs or with psychotic diseases are not accepted in retreats because they could not handle the strong transformative energies. Food is mostly vegetarian during retreats.
Q. How do I become a member and is there a fee?
A. You become a member after joining a FHL centre and participating in group meditational activities regularly. The annual fee is in the order of $100 for full membership.
Q. What is the benefit of being a member?
A. You may rent or buy CD's and DVD's of Imre’s teaching and meditation sessions. In some countries, it gives you discounts. You also help support the teacher and the organization to deliver the teaching.
Q. How can I join a local centre?
A. Click on FHL centres, or send us an email. If you are far away from a Centre, start by reading some of Imre’s books, and chant with our CDs. Visit our store and our e-Teaching program for material.
Q. How can I participate in a retreat?
