Lama Zopa Rinpoche begins with a reminder about the previous session's discussion of how beneficial it is to recite the Buddha's past bodhisattva life stories. He also talks about Lupa Rinpoche, a Nepalese lama who inspired many people to do nyung-näs and made a Dharma law that people could not kill animals in his past life.Regarding the Buddha's past bodhisattva life stories, Lama Zopa Rinpoche suggests that they need good chanting. In that way, it would appear in the public's view like singing a song and become even more inspiring. Rinpoche also suggests reading The King of Prayers and The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation for those occasions (birthdays, weddings, etc.). It's also good to set up extensive offerings, with many light offerings.Rinpoche briefly discusses the six preparatory practices and then gives a detailed description of the preciousness of this human life, with eight freedoms and ten richnesses. He states that this perfect human rebirth is more precious than mountains of gold.The first of these eight freedoms—the very beginning of the path to enlightenment—is freedom to practice Dharma by not being born in the hells. He explains the sufferings in each of the hell realms and highlights that freedom from these realms relies on two solutions: purifying past negative karma and vowing not to commit negative karma again. If you only practice purification without taking vows, then the purification practice becomes endless. With these two solutions, you can avoid the suffering of the lower realms and solve the difficulties of this life.Rinpoche advises that right now, with this freedom to practice Dharma by not being born in a hell realm, you can achieve any happiness you want. If you wish to achieve liberation from samsara and full enlightenment for sentient beings, you can obtain that. Rinpoche says this freedom is more precious than mountains of gold because it allows you to achieve the happiness of future lives. However, it doesn't last long; it can stop at any time; so, there's no time for meaningless activities —there's only time to practice Dharma.Rinpoche explains that there are many ways to practice Dharma. However, what makes life most meaningful is bodhicitta, which depends on guru devotion. Continuously practicing bodhicitta transforms your life, like transforming iron into gold.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

This session begins with the Guru Puja offering practice, prayers, and mantras. During the recitation of the tong-len prayer, Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises us to pause and go over the outline of the bodhicitta techniques (either the seven-point cause and effect method or equalizing and exchanging the self with others). Rinpoche says that since bodhicitta is the most precious wish-fulfilling thought for oneself and others, it's important to briefly meditate on bodhicitta in this way.Rinpoche also recommends reciting the Buddha's past bodhisattva life stories after doing the Guru Shakyamuni Buddha mantra and meditation. Rinpoche then elaborates on how these life stories can be recited at birthdays, weddings, and New Year celebrations. He says that it can be very inspiring for others, including non-Buddhists. There's no contradiction for Christians or those of other faiths, as the stories are basically about compassion, benefiting others, and sacrificing your life for others. This is in harmony with Christianity; it's not an opposing philosophy. So, everyone can recite it together, in the family or in a public place where there are all kinds of different faiths. In this way, people can hear the heart of Mahayana Buddhism.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia.

Dr Cathy OPke (pictured) was at TEDx Bendigo talking about our Cities: Our Climate Change Antiheroes' and challenging us to reimagine cities as robust climate solutions rather than just sources of emissions. She explained that while national governments debate, cities are becoming command centers for climate action - a role so crucial that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is preparing its first-ever special report focused on cities. Through examples from Bendigo to Singapore, Cathy Oke shows how 13,000 local governments worldwide are already leading bold climate initiatives, often outpacing national action. The future of our climate will be decided in our cities, she argues, and every citizen has a role in this transformation. Dr Cathy Oke OAM is a leading voice in urban sustainability and city leadership, combining 25 years of practical and academic expertise. She serves as Associate Professor in Informed Cities in the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning and Director of the Melbourne Centre for Cities at the University of Melbourne, while advising the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy on research and innovation.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche defines each of the three capacities of lamrim practitioners: lower, middling, and upper capacity beings. He advises that if we are only seeking happiness for this life, then we haven't even reached the first capacity. Rinpoche stresses that such a person is not different from animals. Even animals are expert at seeking the happiness of this life by killing or cheating to get food. So, now, in this very lifetime, we must attempt to be in this group of capable lamrim practitioners.Rinpoche reminds us that this doesn't happen without causes and conditions. It depends on actualizing the path, which removes the gross and subtle defilements. He further illustrates that this path must be a complete path, from beginning to end. We cannot achieve enlightenment by only meditating on some part of the path. We have to learn and practice the whole path to enlightenment, which needs to be actualized step by step. Therefore, we need to follow the steps on the path to enlightenment as Lama Atisha presented. This lamrim teaching contains all the essence of the 84,000 teachings of the Buddha without anything missing. It is set up for graduated practice for one person to achieve enlightenment.Rinpoche goes through the lamrim outlines and explains how correctly relying on the virtuous friend and the actual training are of equal value. He cites Kyabje Choden Rinpoche who said it is like the two saddle bags you put on a horse; the weight needs to be equal. Lama Zopa Rinpoche says that people normally mistakenly think that the second outline (training the mind) is more important than the first outline (devoting to the virtuous friend), but they are equally important.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains the Guru Puja prayers and offerings. He begins by reminding us to cultivate the special bodhicitta motivation and visualize offering all the extensive offerings in front of us as well as those in all the FPMT center gompas worldwide. By offering these on behalf of every sentient being to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, it becomes a very powerful puja for all sentient beings.Rinpoche also explains that if a family member has passed away (or is in the process of dying), it's very good to make offerings on their behalf. He describes how Tibetans commonly do so many things when a family member dies, including making extensive light offerings in holy places. However, more education is needed in the West about the many things that can be done when somebody dies. It's also very important for the centers to do whatever they can when a family member or student passes away by doing pujas, making extensive offerings, chanting the Chenrezig mantra together, and doing the Thirty-Five Buddha practice. He emphasizes that there are so many good things that can be done.Rinpoche discusses why the chanting should be done in Tibetan rather than English. One benefit is that it keeps the secrecy of the Guru Puja practice when it's done in public. If others don't understand the meaning, there's no danger of bad thoughts arising. Another benefit is that when chanted slowly, it gives you time to meditate. Also, the chanting came from enlightened beings, so it carries a blessing. Moreover, if the chanting is done well, it moves the mind; it helps to transform the mind more easily. However, Rinpoche adds that for sections of the prayer where there are no verses, where it's not chantable, it is not necessary to read in Tibetan.The session concludes with the bodhisattva and tantric vows, Samayavajra visualization, and food offerings. Rinpoche explains the benefits of taking vows, which he describes as the most powerful, most important, fundamental practice.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

As the much loved footy Season looms with the excitement of packed stadiums team scarves and hot meat pies it's the players the teams that thrill us the most !So we're excited to welcome a major footy legend to the Pod winning countless awards includingthe Brownlow Medal, Norm Smith Medal, Carji Greeves Medal and Leigh Matthews Trophy ·An exceptionally skilled footballer, now director of football at Carlton Diesel Greg Williams - Greg would later become one of the highest-paid player in the AFL. However, as a child in suburban Melbourne, any future sporting career looked impossible. At two-and-a-half years old, Williams' parents, Brenda and Leigh, sought medical opinion on his severely knocked knees. As a result, he wore full-length callipers on both legs until he started school.The intervention worked, and it was only a short time before he began showing significant sporting promise. His football prowess came to the fore when the family moved to Bendigo, and he developed his game with the Golden Square Football Club. As part of the VFL's country zoning scheme, Bendigo belonged to Carlton, and after training with the club in the pre-season of 1982, he returned home with an official letter stating that hDeborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

In explaining the general confession, Lama Zopa Rinpoche says that there are two types of regret. One type is useless because it only brings suffering; the other is positive as it leads to happiness. For example, if you feel regret after having done a virtuous action, it decreases the merit. Conversely, if you feel regret about a non-virtuous action, it weakens the negative karma. So, one way to purify negative karma is by regretting negative actions. Another method of purification is to look at the emptiness of each negative karma. These negative karmas do exist, but not in the way they appear to our hallucinated mind. They are merely labelled by the mind. Rinpoche expresses that this is like throwing an atomic bomb at the negative karma.Rinpoche instructs that the way to generate regret is by reflecting on the resultant four types of suffering (the result of the complete negative karma, the possessed result to do with the place, the result similar to the cause, and creating the result similar to the cause). By understanding karma, you will feel that any negative karma—even a small one—is unbearable. Rinpoche goes on to explain each of the negative actions. He cites those related to our parents as very heavy negative karma due to the power of the object. Because it's so heavy, you start to experience the result in this life. He also mentions that disrespect towards your abbot or vajra master is the heaviest one, because the object is more powerful than the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Similarly, disrespect towards spiritual friends and vajra kin is very heavy. Rinpoche leads the confession and purification of these and other misdeeds by focusing on regret and emptiness. He advises that whenever we do a purification practice, we should end by meditating on emptiness.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains that any happiness—temporary or up to enlightenment—depends on merit. Therefore, merit is incredibly precious. Rinpoche urges us to rejoice and feel happiness in our heart by recollecting all our past, present, and future merits. Each time we rejoice, the merit doubles. We should also rejoice in others' merit. If we rejoice in the merits of a being whose mind is lower than ours, we collect double the merit that they collected. However, if the being's mind is higher than ours, we collect half of their merit. Rinpoche gives the example of rejoicing in a bodhisattva's one day of merit, in collecting half of that merit, we collect the equivalent of 13,000 years of merit in just one second.Then, by dedicating our merit to achieving enlightenment for all sentient beings, it becomes the cause to achieve this. Otherwise, it would only become the cause of happiness in our future lives and liberation from samsara.Rinpoche emphasizes that this merit must be collected yourself; it doesn't come from outside. It depends on your own positive mental attitude. Rinpoche explains that ordinary people believe happiness and suffering come from outside, but this is totally mistaken. Even though there are external conditions, these are not the main cause. The main cause of happiness and suffering is our own mind.In explaining the concept of merit making, Rinpoche delves into a side story about the Maitreya Buddha project in Kushinagar. He describes how His Holiness the Dalai Lama did a divination to determine the place and type of statue. He also details his trip to the holy mountain of Sipri in Tibet, where he accepted the task of reviving the hermitages and building another Maitreya statue.Rinpoche contrasts the happiness of people in remote villages in Tibet to the sorrow of millionaires in the West. He explains that the villagers have a rich inner life and experience so much peace and happiness in their minds, whereas many millionaires have no satisfaction. To get satisfaction, one must let go of the chronic disease of the mind: the painful mind of grasping to this life. Rinpoche reminds us that this life is very short and has very small pleasures compared to the happiness of all future lives. So, by practicing Dharma and letting go of clinging to this life, you have peace in your heart. Like the sun shining happiness in your life, you have freedom from the prison of attachment.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche discusses the extensive offerings that are being made at FPMT centers around the world and explains how to make charity by offering these on behalf of all sentient beings. In this way, every single offering becomes an offering from every single sentient being and they all gain merit. So, this becomes a great puja for the happiness of all sentient beings.Rinpoche says that each offering has ten benefits, but depending on which offering is made, the result is slightly different. He gives the example of incense, which has the particular result of pure morality.Rinpoche highlights that the purpose of offering is for the benefit of all beings. When making offerings to the Guru Puja merit field, the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and all the holy objects of the ten directions, we should meditate that their essence is the root virtuous friend. Even though there are so many deities in the merit field, the essence is the guru, the root virtuous friend. Rinpoche goes into detail about the holy objects of Tibet, including the Shakyamuni Buddha statue in Lhasa, the Hayagriva statue in Sera Monastery, the Maitreya Buddha statue in Drepung Monastery, and the Sangdu Jampel Dorje statue in Reting. He also elaborates on the holy places of Nepal: Swayambhunath and Baudhanath stupas.To conclude the offering, Rinpoche advises us to offer the oceans of nectar food to every hell being, hungry ghost, animal, human being, sura being, asura being, and intermediate stage being. They fully enjoy the offerings, become liberated from all sufferings and its causes, and become enlightened.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains the Lama Chöpa prayers, visualizations, and offerings. He mentions that this sort of explanation is not common within the Tibetan tradition, but for Westerners, he wants to provide some detail. Rinpoche says that the essential point is faith. If the prayers are recited with deep devotion, they become powerful. In this way, any mantra or prayer contains the complete path to enlightenment, and we receive all the blessings and realizations. Rinpoche gives the example of the refuge prayer. He says that when it is recited with devotion, it contains the 84,000 teachings of the Buddha. Otherwise, it's just like a parrot or a tape recorder; there's no meaning.Rinpoche explains how to make The Four Immeasurable Thoughts more powerful by relating them to tong-len and generating each one within oneself and all sentient beings. He also notes that when we recite the word “happiness”, we should think of “enlightenment”, not just ordinary pleasure.Rinpoche describes how to generate special bodhicitta by first thinking of the suffering of one hell being and then extending this to realize that there are numberless hell beings. Therefore, we generate the thought to free them from the unbearable sufferings of the hell realm and general suffering and bring them to enlightenment. In the same way, we think of a preta being, animal, human being, sura being, asura being, and intermediate stage being. Rinpoche urges us to use this reasoning to feel the sentient beings in our heart and think of them like a mother who has a beloved child. This becomes our motivation for actualizing the profound path, the yoga of the guru-deity.Rinpoche goes on to explain the visualization of the refuge merit field and how to make offerings. He mentions that there are three aspects of offering: making the offering, the yoga of eating, and charity to sentient beings. He describes how the Mahayana way of eating is by making charity to the sentient beings living in your body. He further explores the Vajrayana method of making tsog offerings. By practicing the yoga of eating, we make an unbelievable purification, and each mouthful becomes a quick path to achieve enlightenment. Rinpoche concludes the session with a reminder to dedicate the merit while recalling emptiness. This makes the merit inexhaustible and protects it from being destroyed by heresy or anger.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia.

We love getting to meet new friends through this podcast and this week we have another to introduce to our listeners- Denise Renzi. Denise is originally from the beautiful city of Modena in Italy and is now based in Bendigo where she is pursuing her dream of becoming a professional boxer. Currently she is an amateur boxer and competes in the Victorian Amateur Boxing League. It was so interesting to hear her story of becoming a boxer, as well as her story of how she came to live in Australia. We also discussed boxing as a sport and how it is strong in the Italian culture. Denise has a big fight coming up this weekend and we wish her all the best. We look forward to catching up with Denise again for another episode in the future. To see more about Denise you can follow her on Instagram via the link below:

Lama Zopa Rinpoche takes us through a meditation on emptiness. He explains how everything appears inherently existent but is merely labelled by the mind and doesn't have even an atom of true existence from its own side. Using various examples (the self, the five aggregates, actions, objects, phenomena, forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, colors, samsara, nirvana, lower realms, upper realms), he explains how they are all merely imputed by the mind. Nothing exists inherently. In emptiness, even emptiness itself doesn't exist. Even the mind that is imputing the phenomena is also merely imputed by the thought. From beginningless rebirth we have been believing all these appearances as reality, so we have been following the wrong concept. We have been living life in hallucination, which is why we haven't achieved liberation from samsara.Rinpoche urges us to put the teachings on emptiness that we've heard into our daily life view, our view of the sense of the eye, ear, nose, tongue. In this way, it becomes a meditation for twenty-four hours. The point is not only meditating during the sitting meditation but also connecting it to our daily life. Rinpoche says that extensive studies and meditation on emptiness are insufficient; we need something to transform the rest of our daily life, so we need to meditate on emptiness while working during our busy life.The minute you allow your mind to believe that the objects around you are true, it becomes the basis for attachment, anger, and all other delusions to arise. This creates the cause of samsara. The minute you practice mindfulness that these are hallucinations, you liberate yourself from the oceans of samsaric suffering, delusion, and karma.Rinpoche advises that practicing mindfulness of emptiness is essential, especially during this retreat. He likens the retreat to army training, except here you are training to defeat your delusions, which have been harming, controlling, and torturing you from time without beginning. So, if we practice mindfulness of emptiness during the session, break time, going out, in the room, outside, walking, eating, then that becomes a real retreat, a very powerful retreat.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

Denise vive a Bendigo, nel Victoria, dove continua a inseguire il suo obiettivo con tenacia. Ci ha raccontato la sua storia.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche outlines how the Gyalwa Gyatso initiation integrates the stages of the graduated path for beings of lower, middling, and greater capacity. Rinpoche shows the parallels between each initiation and the path to enlightenment. For example, he explains how achieving the second initiation (the secret initiation) helps to achieve the illusory body, and the third initiation (the wisdom initiation) makes it possible to achieve the clear light.Rinpoche highlights that all stages of the path to enlightenment rely on the root of the path: correctly devoting to the virtuous friend. This means to see the teacher as the Buddha. Rinpoche admits that it can be difficult to talk about guru devotion when giving a Dharma teaching; however, it needs to be done out of compassion to prevent people from making grave mistakes. If people are left completely ignorant about this subject, then they would make so many mistakes, all the way through, no matter how much Dharma they learn.To show that correctly devoting to the guru depends on the disciple's side, Rinpoche gives an example from the Buddha's life story. The Buddha's attendant could only perceive faults in the Buddha. When he heard the Buddha tell a woman that she would become enlightened due to the karma of offering him a handful of grain, the attendant thought the Buddha was just flattering the woman. He failed to see any of Buddha's qualities because he hadn't trained his mind. Conversely, Milarepa had unshakeable devotion. Even when his teacher gave him a hard time for many years, all he saw was the Buddha.Rinpoche sums up how all the teachings of sutra and tantra support each other without contradiction. All the teachings of the Buddha are for one person to achieve enlightenment. Rinpoche says that having received the initiation, like the continuous flow of the river, we should continuously practice the profound yoga of the two stages based on keeping the samaya vows.Rinpoche concludes the session by emphasizing that taking this time to do the Gyalwa Gyatso initiation has become a very important preparation for death. It will give freedom to use death as a path to achieve enlightenment. He reminds us that this retreat is not just for quietening the mind, it's also for learning various ways to benefit sentient beings because we have to help them in many different ways.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia.
