Meet Our Guests: H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche was born in the Spiti valley, in India, in 1984. At the age of two, Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche II (1984 – present) pointed to the photo of the recently deceased Assistant Tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama and said, “That's me!” When he was about three years old he was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Kyabje Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche (1914-1983), who was one of the seven master debate partners to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Rinpoche began his Buddhist studies and training at Ganden Jangtse Monastery in South India. After deciding to continue his work for the Dharma as a lay person, he completed his education at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala. On the advice of the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche completed three years of intensive study of English in Canada. Rinpoche teaches at Dharma Centers around the world, combining his experience of the study and practice of Buddhism with his acquaintance with the Western world. His fascinating teachings are full of wisdom, grace, and humor. Rinpoche feels privileged to continue the responsibilities of Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche to teach and benefit people as much as he can. Atisha Mathur, Ph.D. Dr. Atisha Mathur was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Language and Literature of South Asia, with a focus on Tibetan studies, at the esteemed Orientale in Naples, Italy. His scholarly pursuits led him to the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Sarnath, India, where he was first immersed in the traditional approach to Buddhist studies.  Atisha then completed a rigorous 10-year study program at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala which emphasizes logic, debate, and the major Indian and Tibetan treatises. In 2024, he earned his doctoral degree in Buddhist Studies at L’Orientale in Naples, Italy.  Since 2019, Atisha has generously shared his expertise in logic and debate with groups of students from all over the world.

Fully ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1982, he lived in India from 1987 to 1993, where he learned Tibetan under the guidance of great first-generation masters such as Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche, Ribur Rinpoche, Denma Locho Rinpoche and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. For eight years, he lived permanently with Kyabje Ribur Rinpoche, one of the great lamas of Tibet, serving as his translator and secretary. At the request of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, he then served at the Lama Tsong Khapa Institute as a Tibetan-to-English translator for the Master’s Program. For many years he has been the official Italian translator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He is the founder and president of the Manjushri Lotsawa Association and the Sarva Yoga Citta Academy—Yoga of the Mind. Author of the program “Thought Education and Emotional Hygiene,” he teaches at numerous Buddhist centers and master’s programs in Italy.

Early in his life, the Buddha discovered that he can categorize his mental states into two baskets: wholesome and unwholesome. he saw that wholesome mind states led to his welfare and happiness and the welfare and happiness of others, and he became resolute to prevent and abandon the type of mind states that led to his suffering and the suffering of those around him.

Liane opens up about her deeply personal journey after being diagnosed with MS in her early 40s. What began as a dark season of feeling stuck in limiting patterns, repeating cycles, and losing hope became the catalyst for profound inner work. Through the process of clearing karma, she broke free from what she calls “karmic entanglement,” shifted her reality, and stepped into a life of greater freedom, vitality, and alignment with her soul's purpose — what she now calls living as “Walking-Karma.” In this conversation, Liane shares how clearing unresolved karma and multigenerational patterns can release us from cycles of limitation, raise our vibration, and allow us to step fully into our dharma — our highest path and contribution. She offers a refreshing perspective on taking radical responsibility for our energy, thoughts, and beliefs as the pathway to true transformation and living in greater alignment with who we're meant to be. Whether you're navigating health challenges, feeling stuck in repeating patterns, or seeking deeper meaning and freedom in your life, this episode will invite you to reflect on what may be holding you back and inspire you to take courageous steps toward healing and expansion. Key themes include:Turning a health crisis into a spiritual awakeningThe power of clearing karma to break free from limiting cyclesStepping into your dharma and highest potentialRaising your vibration and reclaiming personal powerMoving from victimhood to conscious co-creationIf you've ever felt weighed down by old patterns or wondered how to truly break free and live with more purpose and lightness, this conversation will give you both hope and practical spiritual insight.

We know what love is. We know what happiness means. We know how life works. Then life happens. Marriage. Children. Loss. Success. Failure. Friendship. Aging. And slowly we discover that reality is far more complicated...and far more beautiful...than our theories about it.In this talk, we'll explore how wisdom is less about knowing the answersand more about learning to hold our answers lightly.

    SHINDOKU – The Sacred Sound of the Dharma examines how Buddhist teachings moved from the oral recitation traditions of India into the scriptural and chanting culture of Tang Dynasty China, and how these traditions were preserved and transmitted into Japan.Together we will explore the meaning of Shindoku—the traditional Japanese reading of Buddhist scriptures—and Shōmyō, the sacred art of Buddhist chant. The lecture will also clarify the historical role of Grand Master Dengyō Daishi (Saichō), who did not introduce Shindoku itself to Japan but transmitted Tang Dynasty liturgical and recitation traditions that deeply shaped Japanese Tendai Buddhism.From there, we will examine how Nichiren Shōnin inherited this world of scripture, chant, and devotion and revealed the heart of the Lotus Sutra through the practice of Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō.This lecture invites participants to see chanting not simply as reading words, but as entering a living lineage of sacred sound—a tradition carried through generations and still embodied in practice today.

    — "Understanding our essential human struggles, the compassionate heart naturally wants to help—not quiet—our thinking. It does so through the emanation of care and connection, soothing the wanting and non-wanting and making the present pleasant and nourishing to be in. Feeling the support, our thoughts will often be happy to rest, and our heart-minds can finally relax and enjoy the moment. This joy then further stabilizes the mind and opens us to deeper concentration and insight.

    "Buddhism Still Ruins Everything" is a Dharma talk about misconceptions, curiosity, and personal responsibility. A starting place perhaps for someone considering a Dharma practice. Raised Catholic, disillusioned by religion, and spending years searching for something that felt true, I eventually discovered the Dharma in a book about mindful eating. What I found wasn't a new belief system. It was a practical path for understanding suffering, identifying its causes, and learning how to live with a little more wisdom and a little less confusion. In this talk we cover some of the most common misunderstandings people have about Buddhism, whether it conflicts with other religions, why meditation isn't about stopping your thoughts, why the Buddha wasn't asking for worship, and why I jokingly say that Buddhism ruins everything. Because once you start seeing things clearly, you can't go back to not knowing. And that turns out to be sometimes inconvenient and always beautiful. Enjoy!

He studied and practiced for many years with great masters in the nondual wisdom traditions of Zen, Dzogchen-Mahamudra, and Advaita Vedanta, and in 2001 he received Dharma transmission (authorization to teach) from Adyashanti.

They move through trauma and trust, the limits of mindfulness, the role of intimate relationship as spiritual path, and how nondual realization speaks — or fails to speak — to the metacrisis we're all living through.

    Thisweek on Khandaan, we're covering a little bit of everything. Amrita returns from her accidental social media detox with glowing skin, better sleep, and a newfound appreciation for blissful ignorance. Then it's on to the movies. We discuss Chand Mera Dil and why its young-love-meets-adult-responsibility story left us feeling older than ever. We talk Ananya Panday's performance, the strange online discourse around the film's dance sequence, and whether Lakshya can successfully pivot from action star to romantic lead. Sujoy reports back from Drishyam 3, exploring how the latest chapter shifts from thriller to character study and asks what life looks like after Georgekutty gets away with everything. Asim recommends Dacoit: A Love Story, a Telugu romantic thriller starring Mrunal Thakur, and wonders why Bollywood still seems unsure what to do with one of its most compelling actresses. And finally, we dive into Zombeeid (or Zombie Eid), Pakistan's first zombie movie. Despite the online backlash, we found a surprisingly entertaining genre film packed with zombie mayhem, steroid-fuelled horror, Pakistani humour, and some genuinely impressive gore on a modest budget. Plus: A varied episode, but exactly the kind of film-and-pop-culture catch-up we love doing.

    (Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) Learning to understand that the Dharma path unfolds in an organic, natural way helps to lessen the tendency to make Dharma practice another self-help project. Seeing the conditioned nature of suffering and the conditioned nature of happiness allows the self to get out of the way and let wisdom and discernment guide us along the path.

    Held in the shadow of Mary's husband's illness, this talk is a simple reflection on life's realities and the sentiment, "Very sad, no problem," as a path of equanimity. Sadness, joy and everything else does not need to be a problem. Instead, it's simply reality and we can choose how to show up.Recorded May 30, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

    Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – 5/31/26 – Mundane truth, enlightened truth, from the beginning are all together one. But there are snags that grab us, some of them repeatedly. Hongzhi describes our original mind this way: “from the beginning it is fundamentally all together complete, undefiled, clear down to the bottom.” In this Dharma Encounter with the sangha, Shugen Roshi asks: how do each of us use our difficulty, troubles, heartache and anger to relieve our suffering? How do we heal? The sangha shares the many ways we turn, rather than heaping on destruction, and practice reality with a heart of wisdom and compassion.

    The Vedic tradition lays out dharma with remarkable precision — the duties of a wife, a husband, a parent, a child, a citizen. The gopīs of Vrindavan take it deeper. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the idea that authority is derived from the author of all existence. All the dharmas of this world, all the figures of authority in our lives, gain their legitimacy from the supreme source. And when the soul recognizes that source directly, then dharma goes beyond piety, to unveiling the purest nature of the self.
