We all want to be healthy for as long as possible and have a life filled with energy, vitality and health. We will explore the roots of Traditional Tibetan Medicine and Kalachakra medicine and how this system of healing can assist in bringing the great balance of elements within our internal universe, assisting practitioners on the path to enlightenment. The Tibetan medicinal system focuses on balancing our diet, behaviors, and emotions. Balancing the inner energy of our bodies and connecting that with the cycles of the external universe, we create harmony with between the internal and external universes.ABOUT DR NIDA CHENAGSTANGDr. Nida was born in a yurt in Amdo, in Eastern Tibet. Interested in the traditional healing science of his people, he began his early medical studies at the local Sorig hospital. Later he gained scholarship entry to Lhasa Tibetan Medical University, where he completed his medical education in 1996. Dr. Nida completed his practical training at the Sorig hospitals in Lhasa and Lhoka. Alongside his medical education, Dr. Nida received complete Vajrayana Buddhist training in the Longchen Nyingthing and Dudjom Tersar traditions and trained in the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage, spiritual counterpart to Sorig, with his teachers Khenchen Troru Tsenam and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyaltsen.Dr Nida is the Co-Founder and Medical Director of SKẎ, Sorig Khang International.

Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in a variety of monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Due to his non-sectarian approach, he earned himself the title of Rimé (unbiased) Master and was identified as the reincarnation of the famous Kalachakra Master Ngawang Chözin Gyatso.

#TIBET:  Asking for peace.. Tencho Gyatso, president of the International Campaign for Tibet, @GordonGChang, Gatestone, Newsweek, The Hill https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/06/20/lawmakers-support-dalai-lama/ 1966 Red Guard in Tibet

In strong and shaky times, where everything is changing extremely rapidly, we recognise it's essential that we gain a greater understanding of the purpose and potential of our personal and collective evolution. There are very few singular spiritual paths or concepts able to bring a full spectrum wisdom and clarity to give us direction and confidence that everything is going to be OKAY and something totally extraordinary is unfolding. Imagine, that in ‘ reality' as uncomfortable as things may seem we are being prepared for a Golden Age. This is a huge thing, and is very real. So here is a question for you…What do you understand The Golden Age to actually be?This is an invitation to receive the blessing of blessings that will help you rest in Natural Great Peace from the exhausted mind beaten helplessly by karma and neurotic thoughts.Rinpoche as he is fondly known, is an adept on teaching the Kalachakra System in a really special vivid way that we can have a deeper understanding of the reality of Shambhala and how vast amounts of Beings attained Buddhahood and live in a perfected state that is in fact our primordial innate nature.About Rita HraizRita Hraiz, a grandmother from Glastonbury UK, has been a respected student and teacher of Ageless Wisdom, Solar Philosophy, Shamanism and Esoteric Psychology for the last 28 years.She has internationally held transformational Dharmakaya Retreats for the last 15 years carrying these ancient teachings to sacred lands. Her circles provide a clear sanctuary space, giving many an opportunity to really anchor into their own divinity. Rita Hraiz's ultimate core passion is to uplift and to serve humanity by holding a strong, clear sacred space to support a conscious shamanic journey home into the HEART so we can purify and rest.About Khentrul RinpocheKhentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden. Rinpoche spent the first 20 years of his life herding yak and chanting mantras on the plateaus of Tibet. Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in a variety of monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

This fireside chat between Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown occurred before the 2023 Kalachakra Empowerment in Boulder, Colorado. The renowned Kalachakra-tantra, the most detailed Vajrayana literature, speaks about the degenerate age and the coming Golden Age. The Shambhala teachings are said to be the hidden inner teachings of the Kalachakra, which envision an enlightened society imbued with harmony, compassion, and the diligence of a warrior spirit fighting for the good of all sentient beings. What are the Shambhala teachings of the Kalachakra, and how do they relate to the visions of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche?ABOUT JUDITH-SIMMER BROWNJudith Simmer-Brown, Ph.D., is Distinguished Professor of Contemplative and Religious Studies Emeritx at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, where she has taught since 1978. As a Buddhist practitioner since the early 1970s, she became a student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1974 and served as an acharya in Shambhala from 2000-2022. Her books are Dakini's Warm Breath (Shambhala 2001)and Meditation and the Classroom: Contemplative Pedagogy for Religious Studies (SUNY 2011). She and her husband, Richard, have two adult children and four grandchildren.ABOUT KHENTRUL RINPOCHEKhentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden.

John also explores the various classes of spirit including gyalpo spirits who manifest as authoritarianism and sectarianism, recounts experiences of spirit attacks, and explains the differences between the shaman, lama, and magician. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep221-exorcism-himalayan-shamanism-john-myrdhin-reynolds-3 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 01:02 - Lama Vajranatha's Dzogchen teaching 03:35 - Unique characteristics of Dzogchen 04:27 - Misunderstandings about Dzogchen 08:34 - The metaphor of the mirror 09:53 - The tantric context and the practices of deity yoga and tummo 12:12 - Entering Dzogchen through sadhana practice 13:52 - Mahāmudrā vs Dzogchen 16:26 - Sakya Pantida's criticisms of Gampopa's Mahāmudrā teachings 17:30 - Spontaneous Zen awakenings 19:51 - Dzogchen vs hypnotic trance induction 23:26 - Meeting Himalayan shamans 27:42 - Childhood visions of spirits 30:11 - Spirit possession and exorcism in Himalayan Buddhism 31:28 - Tribal shamans vs Tibetan Lamas 33:01 - Guardian pujas and the power of blood sacrifice 45:13- Buddhism vs shamanism 49:40 - Shamanic diagnosis, healing, and trance states 54:03 - Paying karmic debts to cure disease 57:00 - Banishing ghosts, poltergeists, and preta 01:00:02 - Exorcism rituals and la-hooking 01:05:07 - How to become a shaman 01:08:01 - Western shamans and Carlos Castaneda 01:09:47 - Magicians vs shamans 01:14:16 - Life balance and spirit encounters 01:16:58 - Personal communication with dakinis 01:17:49 - Gyalpo spirits of authoritarianism and sectarianism 01:18:56 - Dorje Shugden 01:23:17 - Dalai Lama's illness when practicing Dzogchen after Dorje Shugden empowerment 01:25:46 - Geshe Kelsang's Gyatso's Buddhist group 01:27:40 - Namkhai Norbu retreat attacked by a gyalpo spirit 01:29:49 - Dangers of receiving empowerments 01:31:56 - Leaving the USA under the direction of the dakinis 01:34:00 - Contacting Lama Vajranatha 01:36:27 - Importance of asking questions … Previous episodes with John Myrdhin Reynolds visit: - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep200-lama-vajranatha-professor-john-myrdhin-reynolds - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep211-magick-systems-of-the-west-east-john-myrdhin-reynolds-2 To find our more about John Myrdhin Reynolds visit: - https://vajranatha.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

In this second episode of the Dakini Conversations podcast it is a great delight and honour to welcome Prof. Janet Gyatso, the first and current Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies at the Divinity School of Harvard University. In the Buddhist Studies and Tibetology world, Prof. Gyatso really needs no introduction, and is a prime example of a woman who has reached the peak of the academy, while at the same time writing original and thought-provoking research about issues connected to women, feminism, gender, androcentrism and Buddhism. If anyone might be awarded the title ‘Queen' of the Buddhist Studies academy, Prof. Gyatso would surely be a prime contender! Her books include Being Human in a Buddhist World: An Intellectual History of Medicine in Early Modern Tibet; Apparitions of the Self: The Secret Autobiographies of a Tibetan Visionary; In the Mirror of Memory: Reflections on Mindfulness and Remembrance in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism; and Women of Tibet. Prof. Gyatso has also been writing on sex and gender in Buddhist monasticism, and on the current female ordination movement in Buddhism. Her current writing concerns the phenomenology of living well with animals and related ethical issues and practices. Gyatso was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science in 2018, was president of the International Association of Tibetan Studies from 2000 to 2006, and co-chair of the Buddhism Section of the American Academy of Religion from 2004 to 2010.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Bill McGrath, a historian of Tibetan Buddhism and medicine. He's one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on this subject, and we get deep into the weeds in an academic conversation about traditional Tibetan medicine, the category of Buddhist medicine, and Bill's perspectives on magic, religion, and science. We also reminisce about the time that Bill once used a Tibetan mantra to save the day when we ran out of gas driving home from a conference!

Avatar: A Lenda de Aang é uma animação criada por Bryan Konietzko e Michael Dante DiMartino com três temporadas que foram ao ar no canal Nickelodeon. Nos Estados Unidos, a série estreou em fevereiro de 2005 e foi concluída em julho de 2008. A Lenda de Aang é ambientada em um mundo baseado nas culturas dos povos asiáticos onde algumas pessoas podem manipular os quatro elementos com variantes telecinéticas das artes marciais chinesas, chamadas de "dominação" ou "dobras". A série é apresentada em um estilo que combina anime japonês com cartoons americanos e recorre ao visual das sociedades do sudeste asiático, dos inuítes e do Novo Mundo. A série acompanha os protagonistas, o garoto Aang de 12 anos e seus amigos, que precisam trazer a paz e a harmonia ao mundo acabando com a guerra da Nação do Fogo com o resto do mundo. Mais de um século antes dos eventos da série, a Nação do Fogo passou por uma rápida industrialização, com avanços tecnológicos e transições demográficas. O Senhor do Fogo Sozin, governante da Nação, planejou uma guerra mundial para expandir a riqueza, o território e a influência de seu país. Inicialmente, ele foi impedido de prosseguir pelo Avatar Roku, nascido na própria Nação do Fogo. Depois da morte de Roku, o Avatar foi reencarnado em um dominador de ar chamado Aang. Sabendo que o Avatar seria então apenas uma criança, Sozin aproveitou essa oportunidade para ir em frente com seus planos de conquista. Devido à ameaça bélica iminente de Sozin, Aang descobriu que era o Avatar aos 12 anos de idade, mais cedo do que o normal. Com medo de arcar com as suas novas responsabilidades e com a separação de seu mentor, Gyatso, Aang deixou seu lar em seu bisão voador, Appa. Contudo, ambos foram derrubados no oceano devido a uma tempestade; para salvar-se, Aang entrou no Estado de Avatar e formou um casulo de gelo, colocando ele e Appa em animação suspensa. Os dois ficaram presos no iceberg por cem anos, próximos ao Polo Sul. Sozin, sabendo que o ciclo de reencarnação do Avatar demandava que ele nascesse como um Nômade do Ar, provocou o genocídio dos dominadores de ar durante a passagem — ocorrida uma vez por século — de um cometa que aumenta o poder dos dominadores de fogo. Posteriormente, ele continuou sua conquista mundial. A série foi comercialmente bem-sucedida e foi aclamada pela audiência e pela crítica, que elogiou sua direção de arte, seu humor, suas referências culturais, seus personagens, e suas temáticas. Ela foi indicada para — e ganhou — os prêmios Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, Primetime Emmy Award, e um Peabody Award. O sucesso da primeira temporada resultou no pedido de uma segunda e de uma terceira pela Nickelodeon. O merchandising da série foi composto de figuras de ação, um jogo de cartas oficial, três jogos eletrônicos, pelúcias distribuídas no Paramount Parks, e dois conjuntos de Lego. Um livro de arte foi publicado em junho de 2010. A série completa foi lançada em Blu-ray em 2018, no 10º aniversário do episódio final da 3ª temporada.

Robert A.F. Thurman is joined in this episode by Non-Sectarian Vajrayana Master Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche for a dialog on everyday spirituality and the value of practicing and preserving the esoteric traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Opening with a recommendation of Khentrul Rinpoche's "The Realm of Shambhala A Complete Vision for Humanity's Perfection" Professor Thurman interviews the third incarnation of the Kalachakra adept Ngawang Chözin Gyatso about his personal experiences as a reincarnate Tulku teaching and leading the inspiring non-sectarian movement of Buddhism down under in exile in Australia. Podcast includes: a short overview of Kalachakra translations and practice, an introduction to the myth and symbolism of the Kingdrom of Shambhala, a discussion of Bodhichitta and the difficulty of translating Western materialist concepts of spirituality, religion and creator gods into Tibetan.

THOSE WHO ARE COMING UP. In deze aflevering praat ik met 2 jonge ondernemers in de dop, nog op school maar reeds met een duidelijke pad bepaald. Mallory Boston (Wiwiri) & Gyatso Davids (photographer) vertellen over wat ze hebben ervaren sinds de moord op George Floyd, in hun leven, op school, de realiteit en wat er allemaal veranderd is. Hoe het is om je zwaar ondervertegenwoordigd in een klas te bevinden en wat ze verwachten van hun toekomstige werk.

Today’s episode is about Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan monk. Join Max and Anuj as they discuss life with the most famous political prisoner in Tibet. Palden endured 33 years of torture by the Chinese. From the time he escaped to India to his death in 2018, Palden fought for Tibet’s independence and to make his story heard.

Happy 85th Birthday to Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, whose  dedication towards the environment has not dimmed in seven decades! *read with author's permission*

It's common for us to think that we're either a bad practitioner or a good practitioner. But, we should always be thinking in terms of: "How can I become a better practitioner?". So, where do we start? With aspiration.

Our adventure begins! Jordan gets immediate goosies as soon as the opening credits begin and Jessica has no idea what he is talking about, but makes a pass about the uncanny familiarity between the Avatar and Captain Planet - but who is heart? Our first official episode is a marathon of Chapters 1-3: The Boy in the Iceberg, The Avatar Returns, and The Southern Air Temple (poor Gyatso).Katie admits she is a Disney girl and Jessica tells us about some ungodly orange shag couch she had as a child and was probably property of Nickelodeon.Regardless, we can all agree that swooning occurred talking about Dante Basco.

Gyatso's Last Stand: Fate of The Southern Air Temple Discovered! Aang, Sokka, and Katara make their way to the Southern Air temple and find that things might have drastically changed over the last 100 years. Meanwhile, Zuko is confronted by the Fire Nation Commander Zhao over the chase of the Avatar leading to a fiery confrontation. The big news, however, is that the Avatar's awakening has been braodcast to the world; making things complicated for Aang and the gang.

Meditation isn't a state, but rather a method to get used to knowing what's going on. The point is to notice how our present mind is. When we begin to know our current mind—instead of focusing on a future, more peaceful mind—we can begin working with who we really are. Lama Padma explains.

In this episode, Lama Padma Gyatso goes step-by-step through a simple and concise meditation session.

This week finally brings us some information on the motivation of the Red Lotus! The four baddies attempt to capture Korra twice, and the airbenders struggle to adjust to their new lives! Check out the full shownotes below: Listener Answers Discussion of the following episodes from The Legend of Korra – Book 3: Change: -Original […]

W XX wieku buddyzm tybetański stał się popularny w Europie i obu Amerykach. Od kilkudziesięciu lat lamowie i nauczyciele buddyjscy podróżują po świecie wygłaszając wykłady, przekazując nauki i ucząc medytacji. W Bibliotece Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego swoje podejście do tradycji Bon w wykładzie „Z Himalajów na Zachód – tybetańska tradycja Bon we współczesnym świecie” wygłosił gość specjalny - Gesze Yungdrung Gyatso przy wsparciu Jacka Trzebuniaka z Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Gesze Yungdrung Gyatso urodził się w regionie Dolpo w Nepalu w 1980 r. W wieku 10 lat spotkał swojego nauczyciela Jego Eminencję Yongdzina Tenzina Namdaka i od tego czasu pod jego opieką pobierał nauki Sutry, Tantry i Dzogczen w klasztorze Triten Norbutse w Kathmandu. W 2008 r. otrzymał tytuł Gesze (najwyższy tytuł w edukacji monastycznej). Od 2015 r. na stałe mieszka w Polsce. Jako lama rezydent Ligminchy prowadzi wykłady i warsztaty na temat tradycji Bon w różnych miastach.

In 1933, Thupten Gyatso, the 13th Dalai Lama, died at the age of 57. According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the spirit of a departed Dalai Lama chooses the next body into which he will be reincarnated. So when a group of elders noticed that Gyatso's head had pivoted from facing south to facing northeast during the embalming process, they took it as an omen. A search party left Lhasa for the northeastern province of Amdo, where they found a 2-year-old boy named Lhamo Thondup.

In this teaching, Lama Padma Gyatso talks about diminishing hopes and fears through the four thoughts. By applying these principals in our own life, we can arrive at a place of feeling that we finally have what we’ve been longing for.

"He dared to be born right on the border with China." Regardless of whether you are a Buddhist or not, the story of Tenzin Gyatso is an interesting one that certainly provides drama that can draw you in. Born as the 14th reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Gyatso grew up as the leader of Tibet. China, however, had other plans and eventually took Tibet, leaving the Dalai Lama no choice but to flee China in 1959. Still hoping to return one day, the Dalai Lama's life story was one of interest to screenwriter Melissa Mathison who asked him if she could write about him. This eventually led to the biopic Kundun. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Melissa Mathison series with Martin Scorsese's 1997 film Kundun. We talk about why it works for Andy but why it doesn't work for Pete, and what could perhaps lead to that discrepancy. We chat about Mathison and how this fits in the films she wrote and what we've discussed in this series thus far, and how well it works in telling the story of a child in large, otherworldly situations. We talk about Scorsese and all the brilliant cinematic techniques he brings to the film, paired with his cinematographer Roger Deakins, production & costume designer Dante Ferretti, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and composer Philip Glass. We discuss the quality of performances from the Tibetan non-actors Scorsese cast in the film, yet how the story balancing across four youthful performances as the Dalai Lama hampers the film from becoming connectible for Pete. And we look at the incredibly difficult time this film has had with its release, primarily because China banned people involved from entering the country and nearly cut off all ties with Disney for distribution within its borders. It's a fascinating film that left us divided but which still is well worth watching and discussing, whether you're a Buddhist, a Scorsese fan, a Mathison fan, a fan of biopics or a fan of interesting films in general. It's tricky to find because of the issues Disney had with China, but it's worth seeking out (likely at your local public library). So check it out then tune in!

Just as one shoots an arrow at a target, when we are aware of our own flaws, we have a target to direct our spiritual practice towards.

This is my first ever Skype interview. I am happy with the sound quality. I contacte Lama Jigme Gyatso after I saw his interview on the Fallen State with Jesse Lee Peterson. I enjoyed our chat.

Janet Gyatso‘s new book is a masterfully researched, compellingly written, and gorgeously illustrated history of medicine in early modern Tibet that looks carefully at the relationships between medicine and religion in this context. Being Human in a Buddhist World: An Intellectual History of Medicine in Early Modern Tibet (Columbia University Press, 2015) looks carefully at the “double movements” of medicine and religion from the twelfth through seventeenth centuries: at the same time, medical learning in Tibet encouraged a critical approach to religious authority while also maturing within the context of Tibetan Buddhism. Gyatso finds a turn to “evidence of the empirical” in some aspects of Sowa Rikpa, a kind of mentality that shaped not just approaches to anatomy and pharmacy but also the writing of commentaries and the ethics of medical practice. The chapters of Being Human in a Buddhist World introduce readers to a wide variety of materials that include visual and verbal engagements in some fascinating debates over gendered bodies, the evidence of the senses, the possibility of having access to the word of the Buddha (and the stakes involved), and the relationships between Tibetan and other kinds of medical theory and practice, among much else. In addition to its obvious import for Tibetan and Buddhist studies, Gyatso’s book should be required reading for anyone working in the history of early modern science and medicine, especially those readers and writers who are interested in embracing a multi-sited, plural approach to the field.

Gyatso finds a turn to “evidence of the empirical” in some aspects of Sowa Rikpa, a kind of mentality that shaped not just approaches to anatomy and pharmacy but also the writing of commentaries and the ethics of medical practice. The chapters of Being Human in a Buddhist World introduce readers to a wide variety of materials that include visual and verbal engagements in some fascinating debates over gendered bodies, the evidence of the senses, the possibility of having access to the word of the Buddha (and the stakes involved), and the relationships between Tibetan and other kinds of medical theory and practice, among much else. In addition to its obvious import for Tibetan and Buddhist studies, Gyatso's book should be required reading for anyone working in the history of early modern science and medicine, especially those readers and writers who are interested in embracing a multi-sited, plural approach to the field.

Our quote for today is from Buddha. He said, "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." In this podcast, we are making our way through Garry R. Morgan's book, "Understanding World Religions in 15 Minutes a Day." Our Understanding World Religions topic for today is, "Tibetan Buddhism"  Tibetan Buddhism may be best known in the West because of the international popularity of its leader, Tenzin Gyatso, the current Dalai Lama. Tibetan Buddhist monks are called lamas, meaning "superior ones." There are two orders of lamas, which the West labels the Red Hats and the Yellow Hats. The Yellow Hats are the larger group and their leader is the Dalai Lama.  Buddhist missionaries entered Tibet from both India and China in the seventh century AD, at the Tibetan king's invitation. The new religion was quickly adopted and had government support. By the fourteenth century, the monks had become so powerful they took over rule and held it until the 1950 Chinese invasion. At this time, the current Dalai Lama and many followers escaped to India, where they currently live in exile. Unlike his predecessors, Tenzin Gyatso has traveled widely as a spokesman for human rights and international harmony. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace.  When a Dalai Lama dies, monks thoroughly search Tibet, checking all boys born within a certain date range to see which might have the traits of the deceased leader. Further tests and divination will be carried out to select which child is the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. Then he will be taken to a monastery and given years of special training to prepare him to take over leadership of the Tibetan community. The death of this Dalai Lama will produce a special challenge, since the Tibetan community is now scattered around the globe and a search of Tibet would be hindered or forbidden by the Chinese authorities. Also, the Chinese government has said China will choose the next Dalai Lama, which most Tibetans are sure to reject. Sadly, the effort to replace a Dalai Lama noted for peace efforts may be marred by violence.  ...
