Mahamudra bedeutet auf Sanskrit “ das grosse Siegel“ und ist eine Methode um die Natur des Geistes zu verstehen. Dadurch geben wir unserem Leben einen tieferen Sinn. Im Zentrum von Mahamudra stehen die Konzentration auf den Geist, seine enge Beziehung zur Welt der konventionellen Erscheinungen sowie das Verständnis und die Erfahrung von Leerheit.

Der Anlass kann vor Ort oder auch online per zoom verfolgt werden.
Der Zoom-Link und der Praxistext sind über die Kontaktperson bis einen Tag im Voraus erhältlich.

Mahamudra means "the great seal" in Sanskrit and is a method for understanding the nature of the mind. This gives our lives a deeper meaning. The focus of Mahamudra is concentration on the mind, its close relationship to the world of conventional appearances, and the understanding and experience of emptiness.

The event can be followed on site or online via zoom.
The zoom link and the practice text are available from the contact person up to one day in advance.

In May 2025 it will happen again: Tsoknyi Rinpoche is coming to the Kamalashila Institute!

After his visit to Kamalashila two years ago, we are again looking forward to two consecutive courses by Rinpoche in 2025, which will open our eyes and hearts.

Below you will find all information about the two courses:

Register at : https://kamalashila.de/tsoknyirinpoche/

Course 1: Core points of Trekchö I
May 10th to 16th, 2025

In turbulent times, it is crucial to find our inner balance in order to remain balanced and resilient. This seminar invites you to discover essential, innate love and explore it as the basis of our emotional world. Innate awareness is also illuminated as the clear and direct knowledge of reality, free from concepts and confusion.
Essential love, also described as a deep inner 'being in order', is our birthright. It forms the natural basis of our emotional world and our subtle body and is always present within us. But if we lose access to it, unnecessary suffering and inner conflicts can arise.
Innate awareness is also always present within us and shows us the true nature of our mind. If we do not recognize this nature, we lose ourselves in confusion and misunderstanding. In this seminar we will explore methods to reconnect with these fundamental aspects of our inner nature and unfold them in our lives.

Course 2: Core Points of Trekchö II
May 17 to 23, 2025

The view and practice of Trekchö shows us that the essence of the mind is the basis for liberation and deep understanding. In this practical seminar, we will focus on recognizing the essence of the mind more clearly, deepening our experience of it, and developing more inner stability.
Trekchö is one of the central practices of the Dzogchen tradition. It invites us to recognize the original purity of the essence of the mind and to remain in this natural state. Exploring the essence of the mind is particularly effective when accompanied by an experienced teacher who provides clarity through concise instructions and supports you in dealing with challenges. In addition, in this seminar, we will explore ways to overcome obstacles and strengthen and further deepen your own practice.



Important information about the trip and its booking:

Registration:
Registration opens on January 25, 2025.
Reservations before this date are not possible.

The 3 Levels of Refuge in Dzogchen on Zoom
With Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche

Saturday, February 22nd
10:00am – 4:00pm Pacific Time

Rinpoche will present teachings on refuge according to the special Vajrayana and Dzogchen approach to taking refuge. Often when people take refuge, they do so only on an outer level, but there are also inner and secret levels of taking refuge. Rinpoche will teach on and guide us through all 3 levels of taking refuge and will bestow a formal refuge ceremony according to this Dzogchen style of taking refuge.

This retreat is open to everyone interested in taking refuge and receiving refuge vows.

Whether it is your first time taking refuge in a formal way or you are renewing your refuge vows, we hope you will join us either in-person or online for this special daylong retreat on the 3 levels of refuge in Dzogchen.

Instructions on the Six Lamps, Part 1.
A Dzogchen Teaching from Choekhortshang Rinpoche
March 14-16, 2025 Budapest, Hungary in person at The Dharma Gate Buddhist College and online on Zoom

We are happy to announce that Choekhortshang Rinpoche accepted our invitation and he will teach from the Six Lamps, one of the important main texts in the Zhang Zhung Oral Transmission tradition. This teaching is closely connected to Rinpoche Trekchöd teaching that he gave in November 2024 in Budapest. However this retreat is open to all, there are no prerequisites for the attendance.

ABOUT THE TEACHING
The Instructions on the Six Lamps is a profound and important work from the Bön Dzogchen tradition and is one of the root texts of the Zhangzhung Nyengyü (Oral Transmission of Zhangzhung) series of orally transmitted teachings.
The root text describes highly secret precepts of Dzogchen (Great Perfection) practice, and the Six Lamps teachings includes clear instructions on how to meditate, how to practice connected to Thögel —as revealed by Tapihritsa to Gyerpung Nangzher Löpo. The teachings in this text represent oral instructions transmitted by a single master to a single disciple in the mode known as “single transmission.” It is through such a practice that one can see the clear light of one’s own mind before achieving complete Buddhahood.
The ‘lamps’ in the title, one by one illuminate different key points of Dzogchen.
Receiving the Six Lamps teaching helps the practice of the Thögel.

Statistically speaking, we are living at a time where violent crime rates are down, life expectancy is higher than we have ever seen, and technology has made life more secure and less difficult. Yet, fear and anxiety seem to drive many of the decisions we make whether as individuals or as national, ethnic, class, or religious collectives. Why is this so? Is there an alternative?

Dr. Lye invites you to a special retreat on Lady Tārā—a buddha who vowed to always appear in a female form to protect beings from any and all fears. Dr. Lye will help us consider this paradox of fear and offer traditional vajrayāna resources on working with fear through the principle and practice of Tārā.

You are encouraged to attend both days but can choose to attend only one.
The only commitment to taking the empowerment is a desire to benefit self and other.

The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra 
4-week course with Rob Preece

A series of talks exploring the bridge between Tibetan Tantric practice and Western psychology. They are intended to illuminate some of the key areas where our particular psychological background as westerners may mean that we will need to approach our practice in subtly different ways from what may be traditional. If we do not we can easily put a veneer of elaborate practice over long hidden psychological difficulties. These talks may help us recognise how we can truly integrate this extraordinary tradition into western life.

Rob will teach LIVE via Zoom on the 20th of February, 27th of February, 6th of March and 13th of March at 8 PM UK time (3PM Eastern Time US) for about an hour to 90 minutes each session.

From February 15 to 23, 2025, immerse yourself in our annual Tibetan Near Year’s retreat on the Four Foundations of the Dharma, a powerful way to purify and let go of negative karma and habits in preparation for the year ahead.

We invite you to take this opportunity to collectively gather merit and engage in purification, whether you choose to participate in person or online.

We will delve into the Four Foundations, or ngöndro, fundamental practices on the Vajrayana path. These include:
Meditating on the Four Transformative Thoughts;
Taking refuge and cultivating bodhicitta;
Engaging in confession and purification practices;
Making mandala offerings;
Practicing guru yoga as outlined in The Guru’s Heart Practice that Dispels All Obstacles (Tukdrup Barché Kunsel) of the Chokling Tersar tradition.

These practices, essential for progressing in Vajrayana, also serve as a foundational framework for any Dharma practitioner.

Path of Realization: Sang Offering
March 22 @ 5:45 pm – 7:15 pm Kathmandu time

Terchen Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa revealed this concise smoke offering practice (sang chö) as part of the famous cycle known as “The Guru’s Heart Practice: Dispelling All Obstacles on the Path.” The sang practice has great power to perfect the accumulation of merit and wisdom. When we perform this ritual, we focus on removing the impurities in the mindstream of the practitioners and all sentient beings. At the same time, we practice generosity by offering to four classes of guests, encompassing the entire universe. Guru Rinpoche himself taught of the importance of performing Sang offerings.

Jan 18, 2025 09:00 Paris time Part 2. Oral transmission with Khenchen Tsewang Sonam "Chod Teachings on Severance from Damngag Dzod"

https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GE0C2T4KSEO_mt1YaS-31A
Chod: The Sacred Teachings on Severance: Essential Teachings of the Eight Practice Lineages of Tibet, Volume 14 (from The Treasury of Precious Instructions) by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye (Author), Sarah Harding (Translator), Rangjung Dorje (Contributor),
Part of: The Treasury of Precious Instructions (9 books)
From the legendary cofounder of Tibet's nineteenth-century nonsectarian movement, an encyclopedic survey of the practice of Chod, or severance, a tantric ritual based on the crucial Mahayana sutras to sever clinging to an ego and thereby achieve realization. The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye, one of Tibet’s greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own. In this, the fourteenth volume, Kongtrul compiles the teachings on Severance, or Chöd. It includes some of the tradition’s earliest source scriptures, such as the “grand poem” of Āryadeva, and numerous texts by the tradition’s renowned founder, Machik Labdrön. Kongtrul also brings together the most significant texts on the rites of initiation, empowerments for practice, and wide-ranging instructions and guides for the support of practitioners. Altogether, this quintessential guide to Severance offers vast resources for scholars and practitioners alike to better understand this unique and remarkable tradition—the way of severing the ego through the profound realization of emptiness and compassion.

Metta and Chaos

https://thebuddhistsociety.zoom.us/j/84317200986

Meeting ID: 843 1720 0986

Amid the chaos of the world, it can be difficult to find peace and tranquility. However, it is precisely in these moments that Metta, or loving-kindness, can be most beneficial. As we delve into the concept of chaos, we recognize that the external world is ever-changing and unpredictable. By cultivating loving-kindness towards ourselves and others, we can learn to navigate the chaos with greater ease and grace.

We will explore the impermanence of life and the nature of suffering, gaining insights that empower us to respond to chaos with compassion and clarity. This practice invites us to discover the boundless power of Metta to bring harmony and well-being to our hearts and the world around us.

SAMAYA/commitments of the empowerments.

Receiving these empowerments doesn't require a daily practice (although everyone interested may practice the related sadhana or mantra). As it is said in the prayers for receiving a Sakya empowerment, there are commitments related to confessing all the negative deeds, rejoicing in the virtuous deeds of all beings, cultivating bodhicitta, taking (renewing) and keeping Refuge vows and bodhisattva vows. It is recommended to keep a vegetarian diet during the day when the empowerments given on January 11, 12 and 16. The Vajrapani Bhutadamara empowerment requires taking 14 root Vajrayana vows. Explanation of the 14 vows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRDBj3JhuM&t=420s . Duration of each empowerment in January is around one hour and a half.

Spiritual Songs of Shardza Rinpoche

Perfecting Meditation [Dzogchen]
with Geshe Dangsong Namgyal

Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche, renowned scholar and dzogchen practitioner, attained the Rainbow Body in 1935. His hermitage, where he often practiced, remains very famous in Tibet. In this spiritual song, Shardza Rinpoche gives essential advice for Dzogchen Meditation practitioners.

In these ‘songs’, Shardza Rinpoche gives instruction on meditational awareness, the subtitle of which is relaxation into the space of nature. Because many meditation teachings lead one into creating some imagery, many people have doubts and are not clear about actual Dzogchen practice. They think that they need to create something else, something special. People find it difficult to realize happiness with the naked awareness and space inside. How do we liberate agitation and mental conflict on a daily basis? How does one go back to your own natural place and how does one maintain daily meditation balance? This will be summarized in this Dzogchen meditation guidance.

On Sunday, January 12, at 9.00 Moscow time, the transmission of a collection of texts of the Chod tradition with Kenchen Tsevang Sonam (the monastery of the Tarpaling Monastery in Bhutan) began. Zoom registration is required. There is a translation of this meeting into English and partly includes texts from the book Native Texts of the Chod tradition.

Chod, the sacred teaching on detachment: from the Damngag Dzo "Treasures of Precious Instructions".
From the legendary founder of the 19th-century Tibetan non-sectant movement, Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, an encyclopedic overview of the practice of Chod, or detachment, a tantric ritual based on the essential sutras of the Mahayana that allows one to break the attachment of the ego and achieve realization. A Treasury of Precious Teachings” Jamgon Kongtrula Lodro Taye, one of the greatest Buddhist masters in Tibetan literature, is a shining gem of Tibetan literature that showcases the most essential teachings from across the spectrum of practices that existed in Tibet. In the fourteenth volume, Kongtrul collected teachings on detachment, or chod. It included some of the earliest original writings of the tradition, such as Aryadeva's "Great Poem" and numerous texts of the famous founder of the tradition, Machik Labdron. Congtrul also brings together the most significant texts on consecration rites, empowerment for practitioners, and extensive instructions and guides to support practitioners. Overall, this quintessential Chod guide offers extensive resources for scholars and practitioners alike to gain a better understanding of this unique and remarkable tradition—the path of detachment of ego through a deep awareness of emptiness and compassion.

Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche - The Great Chariot Online Self-Study Program: Karma Chapter

The Mindrolling International Sangha is fortunate to begin the new year with an opportunity to do a self-study of Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche’s in-depth, word-for-word, teachings on the Karma Chapter of the Omniscient Longchen Rabjampa’s The Great Chariot: A Commentary on Finding Rest in the Nature of Mind of the Great Perfection. Rinpoche bestowed these word-for-word teachings on the Karma chapter beginning in 2021 and this cycle has been an unparalleled explanation of the critical Buddhist concept of karma. The Great Chariot Self-Study Program begins today, January 7th, and will continue until March 31st, 2025.

As the fundamental teaching of the Buddhadharma, without understanding karma, students will not understand how samsara is formed, how beings continually create the causes of remaining in samsara, and how to work with merit and purification to ultimately liberate oneself and others from samsara. When studied and contemplated properly, Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche’s teachings on this chapter of the Great Chariot provide a profound, vast, and subtle understanding of virtue, non-virtue and how the Buddhist path leads one to be completely freed from samsara. With such a complete understanding of Karma, all subsequent studies, practices, and meditations are understood more completely and deeply.

These teachings are part of the Great Chariot cycle of teachings, and students who are doing the Karma Chapter Self-Study will be able to join the Great Chariot Online Part Eight, which begins February 14th, 2025. In part eight, Rinpoche will continue this cycle of teachings that covers the entire Vajrayana path.

Students who have completed all or part of the Great Chariot Online Cycle of teachings may register using the link below, or by logging in to the Dharmashri Online Portal and navigating to The Library.

🎉New Students may request to join this cycle of teachings using the link below and commit to completing these teachings in order to continue with the Great Chariot Cycle.

Dear dharma friends,

on behalf of the organizers we would like to invite you to a spring A-tri teaching and Red Garuda empowerment with Menri Ponlob Rinpoche from the Menri monastery in India, which will take place in the western part of Czech Republic, in the Tuněchody Mill.

A-tri teaching and Red Garuda empowerment

A Tri
The A-tri system of Dzogchen is one of the three main transmissions of Dzogchen in the Yundrung Bon tradition. Dzogchen (Great Perfection) teaches us to discover, and continue within, the non-dual, primordial, natural state of mind.
The A-tri teaching is based on a text by thirteenth century master Drugyalwa Yungdrung, condensed into fifteen sessions from an even earlier text. It includes preliminary practices, introduction to recognizing the nature of mind, practices to stabilize one’s presence in it, and guidance for the ultimate liberation.

Red Garuda empowerment
The Khyung Mar ( Red Garuda) Tantra presents one of the profound healing practices of the Tibetan Yungdrung Bön tradition. While this practice is one of the primary healing practices in Bön for any condition, it is especially meant for healing sickness and other harm caused by the lu—spirits of the water. As the central practice of an enlightened Yidam deity, it not only provides physical and emotional healing, but guides practitioners toward the non-dual state of unification with the deity's enlightened mind, creating a clear path of inner awakening.

The number of participants is limited due to the capacity of the venue, so please register as soon as possible.
The teaching WILL NOT be streamed via ZOOM.

Who is Menri Ponlob Trinley Nyima Rinpočhe?

Menri Ponlob Rinpoche was born in 1962 in the small Himalayan village of Chharka Bhot in the Dolpo region of northwestern Nepal. Many years ago, the. Dolpo region was a part of the Zhang-Zhung kingdom. In the Dolpo region we can still find the culture and language of Zhang-Zhung. There is a small Bonpo Monastery in Chharka called Tarzong Phuntsok Ling Bonpo Monastery. Ponlob Rinpoche is a member of the famous lineage of Yangton lamas. The Yangton lineage goes back to the time of Buddha Tonpa Shenrab over 18,000 years ago. The Yangton lamas were the priests for the ancient kings of Tibet. The Yangton lineage originated after the great practitioner Yangton Sherab Gyaltsen became famous for the perfection of his understanding and excellence in Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen Teachings. Through his studies he compiled the essence of the Dzogchen teachings and created the first written manuscript of the Dzogchen Experiential Transmission (Nyam-Gyud) teaching. In 1107 AD he became the single Transmission holder of the Bon Dzogchen teachings.

At the age of 13 and on the advice of his uncle, Ponlob Rinpoche went into a series of 3 months retreats during 1975, 1976 and 1977. In 1979, Ponlob Rinpoche’s brother, Lama Tashi, brought Rinpoche to Menri Monastery in India. His studies there focused on Sutra, Tanta and Dzogchen as well as ritual, grammar, poetry, astrology, divination, medicine, Thanka painting, Mandalas and stupas. Ponlob obtained his Geshe Degree (Doctorate) from the Bon Dialectic School in 1989. Soon after, Rinpoche was appointed Principle Instructor of the Bon Dialectic School by H.H. the 33rd Mentri Trizin and H.E. Yongzin Rinpoche. In 1992 he was further honored by being given the title of Ponlob, the second most revered position in Menri Monastery.

Ponlob Rinpoche continues to teach at the Bon Dialectic School where he is responsible for the training of the students. He occasionally visits the Dolpo region of Nepal to give the Transmission of Preliminary practices and teach other aspects of the Bon Religion to thousands of lay people, monks and Tantric practitioners. Ponlob regularly visits the United States and Europe where he enjoys teaching Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen to Western practitioners.

🔥 The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra 🔥
4-week course with Rob Preece

A series of talks exploring the bridge between Tibetan Tantric practice and Western psychology. They are intended to illuminate some of the key areas where our particular psychological background as westerners may mean that we will need to approach our practice in subtly different ways from what may be traditional. If we do not we can easily put a veneer of elaborate practice over long hidden psychological difficulties. These talks may help us recognise how we can truly integrate this extraordinary tradition into western life.

1. Becoming a stable vessel
Tantric practice stimulates our emotional process in order to heal and transform it. We need the capacity to work with this process in a way that remains stable and does not by-pass what arises. The practice of Mahamudra can support this, giving us the means to hold those processes with compassionate awareness.

2. Embodiment and the subtle body
For our tantric practice to be most effective we must be grounded in the body. Only then can we begin to deeply work with the subtle-body and its innate vitality. As westerners many of us are do not have an easy relationship to the body and so we must gradually return. This is not always easy and requires skill and care.

3. Connecting to the Source
Our relationship to the source - our buddha-nature - is at the heart of practice. This is the source of our innate compassionate wisdom energy. How we awaken this relationship is the essence of deity practice, and will become the root of our capacity to manifest as bodhisattvas in the world what is most beneficial in service to others.

4. The alchemy of transformation
At the core of our nature are archetypal forces that need to be awakened to transform and become part of our life. If we do not the “Gods can become our diseases” to quote C.G.Jung. Tantric practice offers us a profound alchemical means of transformation through the wrathful deities of Higher Tantra. This process requires skilful understanding to begin to embody what is in the core of our nature in a way that is truly beneficial for the welfare of others.

🕐 Time schedule:
Rob will teach LIVE via Zoom on the 20th of February, 27th of February, 6th of March and 13th of March at 8 PM UK time (3PM Eastern Time US) for about an hour to 90 minutes each session.

“The Foundational Teachings are Truly Profound”
– A New Series on the Buddha’s Teachings on Karma

Starting the first Thursday of 2025 (January 2), Dr. Lye will be offering an extended program on karma (literally “action”) during the usual Open Sangha time-slot, 7:30–9 pm, New York Time. While karma is generally understood as the principle of “what goes around, comes around” or “you reap what you sow,” or an Eastern version of an universal law of rewards and punishments, in this series Dr. Lye will illuminate the Buddha’s profound teachings on karma. In particular, Dr. Lye will anchor this series on the earliest layer of Buddhist texts as well as insights on karma as found in the collected teachings of the 12th century Tibetan master, Kyobpa Jikten Sumgön.

To help ground the weekly classes (that will include guided meditation and discussion), Dr. Lye has chosen the book “Kamma and the End of Kamma” by contemporary monk and teacher Ajahn Sucitto that can be downloaded for free at: https://media.amaravati.org/en/dhamma-books/kamma-and-the-end-of-kamma-2nd-ed

We meet at Urban Dharma NC at 697 Haywood Rd, Suite C, Asheville, NC 28806.
Zoom attendance available—meeting details will be shared when you have successfully registered (see URL below)

Donations are accepted gratefully so that we can continue to keep our doors open and programs free. At Urban Dharma NC we believe that the Buddha’s teachings are truly priceless and we adhere to the tradition of not selling the Dharma. Everyone at Urban Dharma is a volunteer, including our teacher and founder Dr. Lye. Please ask us how you can join our ranks of volunteers—we need YOU!

7:30-9:00 PM, New York Time

Transforming Confusion into Wisdom: Working with Passion, Aggression & Ignorance

Price:
$75 Program Price
$95 Patron Price
$45 Limited Income Price

HYBRID PROGRAM: OFFERED IN-PERSON AT BERKELEY SHAMBHALA & ON ZOOM • PRESENTED BY BERKELEY SHAMBHALA

Join us for a special day with Lama Lakshey Zangpo who will delve into how to transform confusion into wisdom — working with passion, aggression and ignorance.

In the journey of personal growth and spiritual development, we often encounter obstacles in the form of challenging emotions and mental states. Buddhism identifies three primary root afflictions: passion, aggression, and ignorance. These afflictions can cloud our minds, lead to suffering, and hinder our progress on the path to enlightenment.

However, Buddhism also offers profound teachings and practices for transforming these very afflictions into sources of wisdom and liberation. Rinpoche will delve into these transformative practices, providing insights and tools for working with passion, aggression, and ignorance in our daily lives.

The day will consist of teachings, meditation and Q&A.

Gomde California is honored to welcome Phakchok Rinpoche, who will teach on the “Essence of the Mahayana” based on Gampopa’s Jewel Ornament of Liberation. Guided by Rinpoche’s teachings, we will explore our experience of the origin of samsara, how confusion arises from emptiness, and operates like a dream. The Mahayana path, predicated on our buddha-nature and precious human life, when guided by a qualified spiritual teacher’s instructions can lead us to perfect Buddhahood, resulting in spontaneous, compassionate activity.

Rinpoche will address the key qualities needed on the path, the four profound obstacles we will face, and their antidotes. Rinpoche will highlight the Four Immeasurables and the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as well as further keys for deepening one’s practice of the bodhisattva path.

From March 2025 through April 2027, learn the Du Tri Su Drip Jong, the Yungdrung Bön Ritual for Escorting the Consciousness of the Deceased from the text: The Lamp that Dispels Darkness: The Practice Manual of the Du Tri Su that Purifies Defilements and Liberates All Beings from the Depths of Samsara

The Du Tri Su Drip Jong cycle is a powerful and skillful method of guiding the consciousness of the deceased and protecting that individual from the terrors of the bardo (after death state of the consciousness) experiences. This ritual practice and text stir the depths of samsara and can purify or cleanse obstacles both for ourselves and for others, the living and the dead. With proper care and respect, it can even lead to the attainment of Buddhahood, or total liberation. When done on behalf of the dead, this ritual protects the consciousness from wandering in the the bardo realms of the intermediate state. These ancient practices and rituals were taught directly by Buddha Tonpa Shenrab, and the tradition has been held and practiced continually until the present day.

This teaching and training of the Du Tri Su Drip Jong are important for Bön practitioners who would like more support for their own preparations for dying, as well as for students who want to benefit those who have died.

This cycle of in-person and online retreats is being taught by Geshe Denma Gyaltsen and assisted Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar, and will consist of three in-person and two online retreats over two and one half years. There will also be monthly teachings and practice sessions. Join us for this special opportunity to learn a powerful ritual from the ancient Yungdrung Bön tradition. Students can choose from two tracks. For those who want to practice this on behalf of others, a final certification exam will be offered, leading to a certificate of authorization. For students more interested in furthering their own practice, a Certificate of Completion is available without the requirement of a final exam.

FIVE-YEAR TEACHING SERIES: THE SIX YOGAS OF THE MAGYUD MOTHER TANTRA
Would you like to go deeper into Buddhist practice? Now there is a unique opportunity for that!
We will start a five-year teaching series on the six yogas of the Ma Gyud mother tantra in Finland from January 31 to February 4, 2025.
WHAT ARE THE “SIX YOGAS?
The Six Yogas are a classic Tibetan body of exercises, of which different teachings have different versions. The names of the whole and the parts also vary; sometimes we talk about the "six dharmas", the "six ways" or the "way of methods". The number of exercises also varies. In this context, we use the term "six yogas", because it is probably the most well-known term in Western countries.
In the Mother Tantra, the term Tabhlam Che, "integration of methods" is used for the six yogas. With the help of the six yogas, the exercise can be integrated into everyday life, and Geshe Lhundup considers it particularly important how we can implement the exercise long-term in everyday life.
The six yogas of the Mother Tantra are:
1. Tsa Lung and Tummo (movement, breathing and visualization exercises, the task of which is to balance the elements in our body and to open the central channel using inner warmth and the experience of bliss)
2. Dream yoga (conscious dreaming, transformation of dream experiences and understanding the nature of existence through the dream world)
3. Bright light sleep yoga (resting the mind in nature during deep sleep)
4. Chöd (Generosity Exercise to Overcome Fear)
5. Phowa (ejection of consciousness through the crown chakra at the moment of death)
6. Bardo (preparation for death and the journey of consciousness in the afterlife)
STRUCTURE OF THE CURRICULUM UNIT
According to the preliminary plan, Geshe Lhundup will teach us two or three times a year in five-day periods. In addition, we organize joint Zoom exercises with him, during which you can also ask him questions. We also hold online exercises among Finns once a week. The central exercise in them is Tsa Lung, and as the teaching cycle progresses, the intention is to do other Mother Tantra exercises together.
You can come to each lesson, even if you haven't participated in previous times. However, you will get the most benefit from the lessons if you are able to commit to them in the long term. Lessons can also be followed via Zoom. The lessons are translated from English to Finnish.
These exercises are not recommended for people with serious mental health problems.
TEACHER
Geshe Lhundup was born into a nomadic Tibetan family in a small village called Damrani, located in Kham Province, about 750 kilometers north of Lhasa. When he was 6 years old, he started tending his family's yaks and sheep. At the age of 12, he became a monk and moved to Patsang Monastery in Kham. While there, Geshe Lhundup received Dzogchen, Trul-Khor and Tsa-Lung teachings from several masters of the Bön tradition.
In 1993, at the age of 17, Geshe Lhundup went on a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. From that trip, together with 29 other people, he escaped by walking across the Himalayas to Nepal. In Kathmandu they were welcomed by Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, senior teacher of the Bön tradition and founder of Triten Norbutse Monastery in Nepal. He encouraged the refugees to continue on to the Menri Monastery in India, where they could study for a Geshe degree, the Western equivalent of a doctorate in philosophy.
Geshe Lhundup studied at Menri Monastery in Dolanji from 1993 to 2009. Studies consisted of Sutras, Tantras and Dzogchen, as well as Tibetan grammar, poetry, astrology, medicine, mandala painting, calligraphy, yoga and meditation. After 15 years of study, he completed his Geshe degree. From Menri Monastery, Geshe Lhundup went to Dharamsala to learn English, and also met the Dalai Lama there.
In 2008, Geshe Lhundup's first book in Tibetan, "Mahayana: The Foundation, Path and Consequences of Dzogchen", was published. The English translation of the book is currently being made.
In 2010, Geshe Lhundup arrived in France at the Shenten center. From 2013 to 2016,

*Nyung-nä Retreat* 🪷🌈
28 December 2024 (Sat) 5.30am – 30 December 2024 (Mon) 8.30am (GMT+8)
Both On Site and Online (Hybrid)

ABC is organising a Nyung-nä retreat in hybrid format with the option to either stay in at ABC during the retreat or to take part in the retreat online via Zoom.

By relying on the compassionate qualities of Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig, the Nyung-nä practice enables us to purify obscurations, accumulate vast merit and strengthen our compassion and resolve to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. It is a perfect practice opportunity for those with the Mahayana motivation.

*🌸 Retreat Schedule*
The retreat will be held from *28 December 2024 (Sat), 5.30am to 30 December 2024 (Mon), 8.30am*. The check-in time for stay-in participants is *7pm, 27 December 2024*. A pre-retreat briefing for all participants will be held on *Friday 27 December 2024, 9pm - 10pm* (The detailed retreat programme is linked below).

*🌸 Criteria for Participation*
1. Have taken refuge.
2. Have taken the Eight Mahayana Precepts.
3. *Additional criterion for online participation only:* Have done the Nyung-nä retreat before. (Due to the nature of participating via Zoom, online participation is open only to those who have done the retreat before, so that they have already understood the concept and are familiar what they will be doing.)

*🌸 Notes on Retreat Environment for Online Participants*
In order to complete the retreat successfully, it is highly recommended that the retreat environment be conducive, e.g., no distractions from family members, have an existing altar with a Chenrezig image or able to set up one (participants will be sent a softcopy of the above Avalokiteshvara merit field) with some offerings, able to set up space in front of the altar for meditation and prostrations, etc. Participants should also be able to maintain discipline of the retreat throughout its duration, e.g., able to attend all sessions on time, observe precepts of the retreat, etc.

𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚🌻 is back in Singapore, 🇸🇬 delighting🌠 all of us with his deepest knowledge🌻and metta for all of us ♥️ since he landed in BF West yesterday. Tonight's talk is his first ☸️ 𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 / 𝐐&𝐀 on “MN 73 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑀𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑎𝑔𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑎” 🤩

Thursday, 14 Nov 2024 | 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm SGT
📍 Buddhist Fellowship West Centre, Dhamma Hall
2 Telok Blangah Street 31, #02-00 Yeo’s Building, Singapore 108942

In this Sutta, Bhante 🌻introduces a unique follower🕺🏻 of the Buddha and the shrewd questions he asks.

𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: This is to understand what is wholesome and unwholesome and the illustriousness, perfection and the accomplishment of the Dispensation of the Buddha. As the wanderer Vacchagotta approached the Buddha and questioned him about the accomplishment of the dispensation, the Buddha delivered this Discourse to point out how his Dispensation was fully accomplished, in all stages of persons in the holy life even while in the lay life. Buddha's dispensation is not only for monks and nuns. The whole teaching is for the fourfold Sangha without any discrimination. 👫

Join us this splendid evening 🎇with a unique sutta: The Greater Discourse to Mahavaccagotta!🤩

Teachings on Sutra | Lhabab Düchen 2024

Raktrul Rinpoche (Dotulku) Will Share Teachings on “The Secrets of the Tathagata”

84000 is pleased to announce that our next Teachings on Sūtra event will take place on November 22 to honor the auspicious occasion of Lhabab Düchen, which celebrates the Buddha’s return from the god realms. On this important day, Raktrul Rinpoche (Dotulku) will share insights on the topic of “The Secrets of the Tathagata.” His online talk will closely reference the sūtra, The Secrets of the Realized Ones (Toh 47), translated by 84000. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in Chinese, German, Portuguese, and Sharchop.

The Secrets of the Realized Ones offers a series of teachings by Vajrapāṇi on the mysteries, or secrets, of the body, speech and mind of bodhisattvas and the realized ones. In the second half of the sūtra, Vajrapāṇi describes several events in the Buddha’s life: his practice of severe asceticism, his approach to the seat of awakening, his defeat of Māra, his awakening, and his turning of the wheel of Dharma.

Dotulku is the resident lama and spiritual guide of the center. He was recognized by H.H. Sakya Trichen at the age of 17 as the reincarnation of the 5th Raktrul Rinpoche. His incarnation line goes back to the 1st Raktrul Rinpoche (17th century), a master of the Do Teng Monastery in East Tibet.

Soul Retrieval—Recalling Lost Fragments of the Soul and Averting Soul Loss
Weekend Seminar via Zoom, Saturday and Sunday with breaks,
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMkdOmprD0rEtR7vRyTpvm2dhewHTzW8UK0

times 16-20 CET Time zone Hungary

On occasion the soul may wander about detached from the physical body and thereby become vulnerable to attack by hostile spirits and even become lost in the Otherworld of the Spirits. The principle symptom of such soul loss is chronic depression and the loss of emotional vitality and interest in life. In the Tibetan tradition, there exist various methods for retrieving lost fragments of the soul from the Otherworld and realizing its reintegration and wholeness. Our seminar will consider some of these methods.

Dear Dharma brothers and sisters,

If you live in and nearby to Köln, you are welcome to join our first ever program in the ancient city of Köln.

These three sessions aim to bring the participants to the wisdom of the Buddha through the joy of compassion, meditation, and just being natural. In a way, it is also an introduction to our true self through deep contemplation of our realities. Realities, is plural, it is not a flat thing, and not merely limited to our mundane experiences. About twenty years ago, I read an article about our teacher, Manjushri Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, in which he coined this term, “The wealth of being natural”.

A person who is confident in one’s own being and nature of themselves, has much to offer to one’s own life and other’s. Such a person is a joy to be with as they tend to have less insecurities and are able to live unfettered.

This is also offered online too for those who live too far or just cannot attend in person.
We also thank Rama and her beautiful space shunia Zentrum Köln for letting us be there and helping with many other things.

Hope to see you soon,

Dotulku and team.

Yoga Exercises from the Nam Chö Tsa Lung or Sky Dharma Tradition
The Namchö Tsa Lung Gegsel exercises, which have been passed down in unbroken lineage from Tertön (treasure finder) Tulku Mingyur Dorje (1645-1667) to Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche, combine dynamic movements with the visualization of specific seed syllables and the use of controlled breathing.

These powerful exercises address subtle areas where blockages are often found. They help us to let go of stress and built-up emotions (especially in the upper body and shoulder area) and thus stimulate a deep healing process.

Namchak Pudri Trekchod Retreat
with Tulku Thadral Rinpoche


December 28, 2024 to January 5, 2025



Registration is open



Event Format

In person and online

Recordings will not be available. Teachings must be recieved in real time.



Location

Pema Osel Ling Retreat Center

2013 Eureka Canyon Road

Watsonville, CA 95076



Retreat Description:

Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will give step-by-step meditation instructions on Dudjom Rinpoche’s Vajrakilaya Namchak Putri Trekchod commentary.


These instructions, together with the requisite meditation practice, provide an unparallelled opportunity for students to gain stability in their meditation under the guidance of a genuine and experienced meditation master.



“Namchak Putri is actually the king of all the collections of Vajrakilaya tantras from Tibet as it is a complete treasure cycle from ngöndro to the Togal clear light teachings," said Lama Sonam Rinpoche. "To receive this kind of teaching requires many positive circumstances and conditions coming together and therefore it is very precious."



Prerequisite: This retreat is restricted to practitioners who have completed their ngondro practice. However, if you believe an exception should be made, contact the office.

Buddhist View and Conduct for Today’s Challenges
By Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

In a world where chaos and uncertainty seem to prevail, we will have the opportunity to question our mental habit (once again, perhaps) and, guided by Rinpoche, adopt a radically different view. Not just as a reflection, but as a call to transform our point of view and behaviour in this world, using the tools that confront the root of today’s problems. Ready for a mental shake-up?

Dear Sangha,
In order to receive the transmission of Yeshe Lama (Supreme Wisdom), Rinpoche asks us to complete each of the Longchen Nyingtik (Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse) preliminary practice 10 000 times.
The Longchen Nyingtik is a vast cycle of teachings and practices in the Nyingma tradition that was discovered as a Mind Treasure by Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798), at the age of twenty eight.
Jigme Lingpa is considered to be one of the most important figures of the Nyingma tradition. He was a big scholar and visionary. He discovered the Longchen Nyingtik cycle through a series of visions of Longchenpa, the big master of the 14th century.
The Longchen Nyingtik cycle is comprised of numerous sections containing the preliminary practices, main practices of kyerim and dzogrim and what is more important, the practices of Ati yoga or Dzogchen, thus constituting a complete path to Awakening.
The Dzogchen teachings of this cycle are divided into four categories: the Tantras (rgyud), the Instructions or Āgamas (lung), the Precepts (man ngag), and the Complementary teachings (rgyab chos).
The Yeshe Lama, a landmark text of Longchen Nyingtik, belongs to the unsurpassable secret cycle of the category of the precepts, it expresses the essence of the Dzogchen tantras and presents the practical instructions on the khorde rushen, trekchö, thögyal, and also the instructions for the liberation in the bardos.
It is therefore an immense chance, as rare as the stars in broad day-light, to be able to receive this precious transmission. Khenpo Karma Wangyal is going to give the instructions concerning the preliminary practices for this purpose on 9-10 and 16-17 November 2024.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that The words of my perfect teacher from Patrul Rinpoche is a commentary that deals specifically with the Longchen Nyingtik preliminaries.

Yuthok Nyingthik Ngondro Retreat
Sunday 1st - Saturday 7th December - online via Zoom

The sessions will be live twice a day and recordings will be available for those who are unable to join the live. Sessions go for about an hour.

They will be 6.30am and 7.30pm each day - AEDT/UTC+10

The last session of the last day will be a little longer as we will conclude the weeks practice with Gana Puja and tsog offering.

The seven days consists of two sessions per day and of course do what you need to in your daily life, but I encourage you to stay home if possible, only go out if necessary, and where you can stay off social media. I have made this kind of retreat many times and it can still be a very good experience for the ngondro.

All are welcome to join — there are no prerequisites.

There is no charge for this event but you will need to register.

If you would like to make a donation to help with the running costs, that option will also be available to you.

After registration you will receive some information about retreat suggestions, setting up a small shrine and some practical information about some things in the practice.

The practice and Zoom link will be sent closer to the event.

This retreat is facilitated by Karen Stone, the lineage holder for this practice is Dr Nida Chenagtsang.

The Yuthok Nyingthig is the unique spiritual tradition of Tibetan Medicine, a complete cycle of Vajrayana Buddhist practice containing essential meditations, transformative inner yogas, practices to cultivate healing abilities, and benefitting rituals. Created by Yuthok Yonten Gonpo, the father of Tibetan Medicine, it is known for its concise, accessible methods and its nonsectarian approach — it is perfect for modern, busy people. Practicing the Yuthok Nyingthig improves health and longevity, enhances compassion and wisdom, and ultimately brings spiritual liberation.

Ngöndro means preliminary practice or preparation. The term ‘preliminary’ refers to something very basic yet very profound and of great importance - like a tree’s roots. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Ngöndro practices are often very demanding with regards to time and effort. Strong dedication is needed to accomplish hundreds of thousands of prostrations, recitations of refuge and bodhicitta, Mandala offerings, etc. The Ngondro purifies the body, energy, and mind and lays the foundation for all further practices.However, the Yuthok Nyingthig (Uncommon) Ngöndro takes only seven days, thus sustaining Yuthok’s special blessing as to speedy completion.

*Making Friends with Death: Finding Peace and Perspective in this Ultimate Transition*
For most of our culture, death often presents an anxious situation ridden with fear, loss, hopelessness and grief. Explore a more expansive view of this natural transition and how
it is possible to face death with peace, dignity and no regrets. Discussion and meditation included along with practical applications for caregivers. Open to all levels of students with a particular interest in death and dying, hospice work, and all caregivers.

*About the teacher*
Venerable Amy J. Miller (Ven. Lobsang Choedren) first encountered Buddhism in 1987 at Kopan Monastery in Nepal and has been ordained since 2000. She has spent a great deal of time engaged in meditation retreats, study, teaching, and Buddhist center management. Prior to studying Buddhism, Ven Amy was a political fundraiser in Washington, DC and also worked for Mother Jones Magazine in San Francisco, California. She also trained as a hospice counselor during the peak of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco and offers courses and retreats on death and dying and end-of-life care. Ven Amy also leads pilgrimages to Buddhist sites.
Amy’s teaching style helps people connect with meditation and mindfulness in an effort to gain a refreshing perspective on normally stressful living.
She is also the co-author of FPMT’s Buddhism in a Nutshell. Ven Amy currently resides in Philadelphia in the United States.

Open to all, beginners and experienced students alike! You do not need any background in Buddhism to join. No registration required.

*The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path: The Oral Instructions of Lord Gampopa*🪷
Online Teachings with Venerable Geshe Lhakdor
Sundays, November 3, 10, 17 & 24 - 8 pm IST

Registration required: https://shantidevanyc.org/lhakdor-nov24/

“The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path is, in general, a condensation of the complete key points of all levels of Buddhist training. More particularly, it contains oral instructions that can reach our very hearts and reveal our hidden faults.” —Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path is an essential guide to Buddhist practice, covering the main ideas of Buddhist training from the fundamental tenets to the most subtle points. Crafted by the renowned 12th-century master Gampopa, a disciple of the legendary Milarepa, these oral instructions weave together explanations of Buddhist sutras with the profound meditation instructions of Mahamudra.

True to the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, it is structured as a set of 28 memorable lists. Those who contemplate their meaning will uncover valuable truths about their own spiritual journeys, including:

Ten Things to Persevere In
Ten Things to Inspire Yourself
Ten Ways to Destroy Yourself
Delve into the deeper meanings of this beautiful composition with Geshe Lhakdor and experience the teachings in their original lineage, just as they were intended.

This program is co-hosted by:

Shantideva Center, New York
Jamyang Buddhist Centre, London
Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre, Delhi
Tushita Meditation Centre, Dharamsala

Important Note
This is an online-only event that is administered using Zoom. Registration is required to attend the teachings.

About the Teacher
Venerable Geshe Lhakdor, the director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, is renowned not only for his knowledge and warmth, but also for his very practical and humorous teaching style.
Geshe Lhakdor was born in Yakra, Western Tibet in 1956 and left Tibet in 1962 following the communist Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959. Geshe received his novice monk ordination in 1964, attended the Central School for Tibetans, in Dalhousie, India from 1972 to 1976 and studied specialized Buddhist Philosophy in the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India until 1986.

From December, 1986 to May, 1989 he served as translator and research assistant in Tibet House, the Cultural Centre of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in New Delhi. In August 1989, Geshe joined the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama where he has served as Religious Assistant and Translator and has accompanied His Holiness the Dalai Lama to over thirty countries in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.

Beside the Master of Prajnaparamita in 1982, he also received the Master of Madhyamika in 1989 and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) from the University of Delhi. In 1995 he received the Geshe Degree from Drepung Loseling Monastic University in South India. In 2008, he was also conferred Honorary Professorship by the University of Delhi, Department of Psychology.

Since 2005 he has been the director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, after serving as His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s official translator for 16 years (still occasionally travels with H.H. as translator).

Geshe Lhakdor has also co-translated and co-produced several books by His Holiness, including The Way to Freedom, The Joy of Living and Dying in Peace, Awakening the Mind and Lightening the Heart, and Stages of Meditation, among others.

Geshe Lhakdor is a trustee of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility, established by His Holiness, Director of the Central Archive of His Holiness, a member of the Advisory Board of the Institute of Tibetan Classics in Montreal, Canada, and Honorary Professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada.

For the Tibetans, the wilds of nature are filled with the energies of the nature spirits, who are under the rule and control of the mighty Yul-lha, or mountain gods, of their land. These nature spirits can impinge upon and influence our own personal energy fields and affect the practical concerns of one’s life. Buddhism, Bon, and Shamanism communicate and deal directly with these spirits of wild nature in order to realize a harmonious balance between our worlds. In our seminar we will look into some of the ritual and meditation practices used to accomplish this.
