Logo após a morte do pai, aos nove anos de idade, Dzigar Kongtrul foi reconhecido, por Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, como a reencarnação do grande Jamgön Kongtrul, reconhecimento este confirmado pelo 16º Karmapa.Criado num ambiente monástico, Dzigar recebeu extenso treinamento em todos os aspectos da doutrina budista. Seu professor raiz foi Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, mas Dzigar também estudou sob a orientação de grandes mestres como Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche e Khenpo Rinchen.Em 1989, Dzigar se mudou para os Estados Unidos com sua família e de 1990 a 1995 foi professor de filosofia budista na Universidade Naropa. Pouco depois de sua chegada nos Estados Unidos, fundou Mangala Shri Bhuti, uma organização criada para promover o estudo do Budadharma no Ocidente.Dzigar destaca-se por seu elevado conhecimento, sua habilidade de comunicar o significado sutil, e sua capacidade de torná-los acessíveis e úteis para os seus ouvintes.Tecendo sua antiga herança espiritual com os muitos fios da nossa cultura moderna, Kongtrul Rinpoche é conhecido pela sua integridade intransigente , sua determinação inabalável, uma profunda convicção no altruísmo e uma rigorosa insistência de que todos os seres, independentemente da sua origem, possam despertar para a sua própria natureza iluminada.
Welcome to Zen Commuter and day four of Tricycle Week! Today, we're diving into a topic that challenges the way we see productivity and rest—laziness. Is laziness a real obstacle, or is it simply a rejection of society's constant push to always be moving? We'll explore the three aspects of laziness and question whether what we call “being lazy” is actually an intentional choice to be rather than do. Plus, we'll feature a reading from Working on Laziness by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, offering a deeper perspective on how mindfulness helps us navigate our relationship with effort and ease. Let's reframe laziness and uncover what it really means to live with purpose. Topics Covered: ✅ Definitions of the three types of laziness ✅ The understanding that laziness might be a response to societal expectations ✅ How to evaluate if laziness is real or imagined in your body.

Rinpoche grew up in a monastic environment. He was trained in the Longchen Nyingtik lineage of the Nyingma school as well as the Khyen-Kong Chok-Sum lineages. He moved to the United States in 1989 with his family and began a five-year tenure as a professor of Buddhist philosophy at Naropa University (then Institute) in 1990. Not long after arriving in the United States, Rinpoche founded Mangala Shri Bhuti, an organization established to further the practice of the Longchen Nyingtik and Khyen-Kong Chok-sum lineages. He established a mountain retreat center, Longchen Jigme Samten Ling, in southern Colorado, where he spends much of his time in retreat and guides students in long-term retreat practice. When not in retreat, Rinpoche travels widely throughout the world teaching and furthering his own education. Keep up with Rinpoche's happenings HERE.Pick up your own copy of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche's book, Diligence: The Joyful Endeavor of the Buddhist Path.“We need to succeed in our field to be able to meet our intention with action, to have concrete outcomes. Whether that is in the spiritual path, sports, business, or creating a balanced life with health and well-being for oneself and one's family, in all of this, the effort is essential. Effort in a way that is not sporadic, but consistent effort.“ – Dzigar Kongtrul RinpocheSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Suffering happens, sometimes in heaps. It takes a great deal of strength to overcome the internal darkness of neurotic emotions. While forced positivity can be just a bypass of a difficult experience in life, we're still responsible for our own minds. So what to do? Lojong verse 21, “Always maintain a joyful attitude,” reminds us to deepen our understanding within the experiences of both suffering and happiness. music by Matt Quentin
The proliferation of opinions is endless, and many of them are misinformed. How do we come to trust the direct perception of our own mind over the assumptions of others? Through contemplation and practice, we can learn to find genuine confidence in our own experience. In this episode, Jampal Norbu examines the 20th verse of Lojong, “Of the two witnesses, rely on the main one.” Theme music by Matt Quentin
