Ainda adolescente, Dzongsar construiu um pequeno centro de retiro em Ghezing em Sikkim e logo começou a viajar e ensinar pelo mundo.Em 1989, Dzongsar fundou a Siddhartha's Intent, uma associação budista internacional de centros sem fins lucrativos, a maioria das quais são sociedades e instituições de caridade, com a intenção principal de preservar os ensinamentos budistas, bem como aumentar a conscientização e a compreensão dos muitos aspectos do ensinamento budista além dos limites das culturas e tradições.Como cineasta, Dzongsar estudou com o italiano Bernardo Bertolucci; e seus dois filmes principais são “A Copa” (1999) e “Traveller e Magicians” (2003).Dzongsar Rinpoche é famoso pela liberdade descontraída com que se move entre culturas e povos e por sua dedicação incansável em trazer a filosofia e o caminho da iluminação para qualquer pessoa com um coração aberto.

Seus ensinamentos incluíam a importância da meditação, a compreensão da mente e a coragem de enfrentar a realidade como ela é. Ele também introduziu conceitos como “louca sabedoria”, desafiando convenções para despertar insights profundos.

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har temat Förändring. Idag med Lama Khadrön Pamo. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Inom Buddhismen så pratar vi om form och tomhet och form föds och dör, stiger upp som en våg och försvinner sedan ner i havet igen. Vår person finns i stunden men förändras och är inte solid, permanent, definierad, och beständig. Det vi kallar vårt ”jag” är bara ett sätt att vara, en vana och beteende som förändras.Om vi ser på sinnet som om det var ett hav med vågor av tankar och känslor så skulle vi kunna säga att havet kan aldrig förklaras genom att beskriva vågorna som oändligt svallar på havets yta. Man skulle kunna studera vågor för evigt utan att komma närmare en definition av hav. Allt man kan säga är att vågor förekommer i havet och att de är oändliga i sina former och ständigt i förändring. Så snart vi slutar försöka beskriva havet enligt dess vågor – inser vi att vågor och hav är oskiljaktiga. Havet behöver ingen definition – ändå pryder vågorna ständigt havet med sina tillfälliga och föränderliga former.Om Lama Khadrön PamoLama Khadrön Pamo är en ordinerad naljorma inom den vita sanghan, även kallad för gö kar chang lo' dé ( gos dKar lCang lo'i sDe / གོས་དཀར་ལྕང་ལོའི་སྡེ་། ) inom Nyingma-traditionen av Buddhism från Himalaya. Den vita sanghan är icke-monastisk och har löften baserat på vajrayana, i kontrast till den röda sanghan av nunnor och munkar.Text:Shock Amazement, the four naljors and four ting-ngé'dzin from the Dzogchen series of the nature of Mind.Musik:Instrumental Guru Padmasambhava Prayer med RaphaelProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se
Longchenpa's Explanation of the Three Statements That Strike the Vital Point (by Garab Dorje). 1. Be introduced to your own nature. 2. Decide upon one thing. 3. Gain confidence in liberation. This commentary is drawn from Longchenpa's Profound Quintessence. The original translation is included in Great Perfection: Separation and Breakthrough, translated by Cortland Dahl. Longchenpa, also known as Longchen Rabjam , ‘Infinite, Vast Expanse of Space', or Drimé Özer (1308-1364), was one of the most brilliant teachers of the Nyingma lineage. He systematized the Nyingma teachings in his ‘Seven Treasures' and wrote extensively on Dzogchen.
In this episode, we talk to Tina Rasmussen, Ph.D., meditation teacher, Buddhist practitioner, and author of Practising the Jhānas. Tina shares her remarkable path of awakening, which began at the age of 13 and unfolded through profound solo retreats, including a transformative year-long retreat in 2003. She discusses her experiences as the first Western woman to complete the detailed jhāna path in the Burmese lineage under the guidance of meditation master Ven. Pa Auk Sayadaw, who later authorized her to teach. Tina also shares her journey of taking refuge with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, a Tibetan Dzogchen teacher, and her initiation into the Nyingma lineage. This conversation explores Tina's work integrating spiritual awakening into everyday life, her transition from being drawn to monasticism to embracing the dynamism of modern life, and the challenges of weaving awakening into daily relationships. Topics include non-attachment, the transformative potential of practices like jhāna and somatic inquiry, and the embodiment of spiritual realizations.There some audio quality imperfections in this episode, but we hope the insights shared more than make up for it. Tina Rasmussen's Luminous Mind Sangha fosters awakening and its embodiment in worldly life through the application of authentic, rigorous Buddhist and modern practices.Discover more meditations, teachings, and resources at tantrailluminated.org.

Poemas selecionados de Mipham Rinpoche. Jamgön Ju Mipham, ou Ju Mipham Jamyang Namgyal Gyamtso (1846 - 1912), foi um grande mestre e estudioso do Budismo Tibetano, tornando-se um influente filósofo da escola Nyingma. Nascido no Tibete Oriental em uma família aristocrática, desde cedo Mipham foi reconhecido como uma criança excepcional. Aos doze anos, ele ingressou na vida monástica como um monge comum. Aos quinze, empreendeu dezoito meses de retiro intensivo em Manjushri. Mais tarde, confidenciou a alguns de seus alunos que a partir de então sempre foi capaz de compreender qualquer texto que lia. Ao longo de sua vida, diz-se que Mipam leu toda a coleção das palavras traduzidas do Buda, em 108 volumes, sete vezes. Mipham Rinpoche também recebeu e dominou inúmeros ensinamentos e transmissões de Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo e Jamgön Kongtrul, bem como de mestres de todas as tradições em todo o Tibete. Ele sempre levou a sério o famoso conselho de Je Tsongkhapa de que os ensinamentos deveriam ser considerados, antes de mais nada, como uma orientação prática para a vida, e não apenas como especulações intelectuais. Os ensinamentos de Mipham Rinpoche resumem a vasta amplitude da filosofia budista, integrando insights profundos das tradições Mahayana e Vajrayana. Enfatizando a importância da sabedoria e da compaixão, ele elucidou conceitos como a vacuidade, a interdependência e a natureza da mente. Através de seus numerosos escritos, comentários e instruções orais, ele ofereceu orientação prática sobre técnicas de meditação e cultivo de qualidades altruístas. Um de seus ensinamentos centrais girava em torno da união inseparável de sabedoria e de meios hábeis, enfatizando o poder transformador de integrar a compreensão espiritual na vida diária.
Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche unfolds the key to living, especially valuable in today's modern, chaotic, fast paced world. Erric begins by asking Rinpoche, “What is the most important thing to know?” Rinpoche leads us through a pithy, vital explanation that anyone, struggling to thrive in modern life, will want to hear. About Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche is a world-renowned teacher and meditation master in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in Tibet in 1951 as the oldest son of his mother Kunsang Dechen, a devoted Buddhist practitioner, and his father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, an accomplished master of Buddhist meditation. As a young child, Chökyi Nyima—“Sun of the Dharma”—was recognized as the 7th incarnation of the Tibetan meditation master Gar Drubchen. In 1959 Rinpoche's family fled to India where Rinpoche spent his youth studying under some of Tibetan Buddhism's most illustrious masters, such as His Holiness the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, and his father, Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. In 1974, Rinpoche left India to join his parents in Kathmandu, Nepal, where he assisted them in establishing Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery. Upon its completion in 1976, H.H. the Karmapa enthroned Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche as the monastery's abbot. To this day, Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling remains the heart of Rinpoche's ever-growing mandala of activity.

Ep. 137 (Dialogue 1, Part 1 of 2) | In this rich and engaging conversation, the first episode of the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali gives us a beautiful overview of the Diamond Approach, which is a brilliant integration of teachings and a path of awakening born out of his own direct experience and informed by his deep understanding of the world's great spiritual traditions and modern psychology. Here, Hameed details the many facets of the Diamond Approach that make it unique among spiritual paths, which leads down several intriguing avenues of exploration: What is the Diamond Approach's understanding of the soul? How does spiritual guidance work? What are the four turnings that give context and structure to students on this spiritual path? Hameed delves, too, into the importance of inquiry on our road to discovering our true nature, love's role in allowing us to trust reality, and the importance of realizing that the ultimate lives within each individual.Hameed also shares personal aspects of his journey: how he was guided from the precise field of physics to the field of psychology, how he came to the revelation of the human soul, and what he attributes to why he has been so receptive to spiritual openings and realizations throughout his life. The Diamond Approach is not only about discovering the nature of absolute reality—it is also about realizing ultimate consciousness in ordinary life, to experience the beauty and richness of a life lived in simple freedom and enjoyment. As Hameed says, “Know, by engaging the path, it is possible to be free.” Recorded June 13, 2024.“Regardless of how transcendent or vast, nondual or whatever, is the ultimate nature, the important thing is how it lives as an individual human being living an ordinary human life and enjoying this life the way it can be enjoyed—to the fullest of its possibilities.”(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing the A.

“All phenomenal experiences are not truly there—they are unreal. We need to bring this recognition of appearance-emptiness into our ongoing experience. Longchenpa teaches us how to rest at ease in illusion, in order to recognize unborn luminosity continually during the daytime and nighttime.” -Khenpo Sherab Sangpo Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), taught a retreat on "Finding Rest in Illusion" by Longchenpa on March 16, 2024. He used the root text, "A Wish-Fulfilling Gem: Guidance on the Meaning of Being at Ease with Illusion, A Dzogchen Teaching,” in which Longchen Rabjam Drimé Özer shares oral instructions from his Dzogchen lineage that are the essential meaning of the Buddhist sūtras and tantras. This text explains how to meditate upon the eight similes of dream, illusion, hallucination, mirage, moon in water, echo, castles in the clouds, and apparition. Khenpo Sherab Sangpo focused his retreat teachings on explaining three stages of meditation instructions shared by Longchenpa: 1) the preliminary practice of guru yoga, 2) the main practice of recognizing mind and appearances as illusory, and 3) accomplishing meditative concentration (samādhi)—the ability to rest at ease without distraction in the ongoing experience of unborn luminosity (ösel). The retreat text and study resources for Longchenpa can be found on our website.

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo focused his retreat teachings on explaining three stages of meditation instructions shared by Longchenpa: 1) the preliminary practice of guru yoga, 2) the main practice of recognizing mind and appearances as illusory, and 3) accomplishing meditative concentration (samādhi)—the ability to rest at ease without distraction in the ongoing experience of unborn luminosity (ösel). The retreat text and study resources for Longchenpa can be found on our website.
“All phenomenal experiences are not truly there—they are unreal. We need to bring this recognition of appearance-emptiness into our ongoing experience. Longchenpa teaches us how to rest at ease in illusion, in order to recognize unborn luminosity continually during the daytime and nighttime.” -Khenpo Sherab Sangpo Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), taught a retreat on "Finding Rest in Illusion" by Longchenpa on March 16, 2024.

Selection of verses from Longchenpa's heartfelt parting advice to his students, exhorting them to vigorously engage the path to liberation while they are still able. It is said these are Longchenpa's final words prior to his death. Translated by Herbert V. Guenther. Longchenpa (1308-1364) stands at the center of the Nyingma tradition. Acknowledged by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism as one of Tibet's greatest masters, he wrote works that cover every aspect of the Buddhist path. His writings, in clear and luminous language, have the power to awaken our innermost knowing and inspire us to act on the knowledge we already have.
Bea and Uranio interviewed Trent Thornley, a Self-Preservation Six, to find out what helped him in his growth journey and to learn about how he experiences his Enneagram type and subtype. He talks about how he came to the Enneagram. He discussed how the Enneagram gave him Ah ha moments as well as uh oh moments. Trent discussed that all nine types have needs, it's just that there is an over-functioning or over-dependency on the needs of each Enneagram type. He shared there is a false sense of security in the act of doubting. There is an unconscious idea that constant doubting will bring the Self-Preservation Six to a conclusion that will bring the truth of the matter and more importantly, security. How does he work through this false idea? This is a powerful interview with many insights for those who are Self-Preservation Six subtypes or have Self-Preservation Six subtypes in their lives. Trent served as President of the International Enneagram Association in 2022 and 2023. He is the Executive Director and Director of Clinical Pastoral Education at the San Francisco Night Ministry and an ordained Buddhist Dharma Leader in the Nyingma lineage. Trent is also an ordained minister in the Metropolitan Community Churches, a progressive Christian denomination with an outreach to the LGBTQ+ community.

In this interview I am joined by Buddhist teacher and doctor of Tibetan Medicine Dr Nida Chenagtsang and author and Buddhist teacher Justin Von Bujdoss. Dr Nida and Justin discuss the esoteric Dzogchen practices of trekchö and tögal, and comment on their application to inner emotional disturbance and to times of external conflict and war. Dr Nida and Justin extensively discuss the mysterious practice of dark retreat, in which the retreatant seals himself in complete darkness for days or weeks at a time, triggering powerful hallucinations which can be worked with using special techniques for spiritual advancement. Dr Nida and Justin discuss the history of dark retreat, compares the differences in the various schools of its practice, warns of its dangers in terms of psychosis, and considers the potential it offers for attaining Buddhist enlightenment. Dr Nida and Justin also explore themes of fixation, nationalism, translation, and spiritual trauma. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep228-dzogchen-dark-retreat-dr-nida-chenagtsang-and-justin-von-bujdoss Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Geomantic energy of Bhutan 03:55 - The Dzogchen practice of trekchö 05:02 - Cutting through hardness 07:53 - The importance of using Sanskrit and Tibetan words 08:18 - The hardness of conceptual thinking 08:47 - Translating trekchö 09:45 - Dr Nida's new approach to translation 11:54 - Dharma as medicine 12:27 - Freeing difficult emotions 14:24 - Palestine and political polarisation 17:29 - The pressure to take sides 21:10 - Meditation as medicine 21:33 - Bringing dharma experience to politics 25:09 - The value of softness and passivity 26:10 - Nationalism and fixation 28:09 - The price of enlightened politics 30:27 - Ashoka's dharma reign 32:47 - Dr Nida's new book about Yuthok's Mahāmudrā 35:00 - Varieties of Dzogchen tögal practice 37:42 - The history of dark retreat 45:01 - Nyingma vs Kālachakra dark retreat versions 47:35 - Transforming energy and perception 49:57 - Yuthok and other dark retreat yogis 52:40 - Special characteristics of dark retreat 53:51 - The actual practice 55:07 - Dr Nida's remarkable dark retreat teacher 01:00:29 - How Dr Nida's teacher introduced him to the nature of mind 01:09:18 - The signs of success in practice 01:09:42 - The mystical story of Dr Nida and Justin's karmic connection 01:17:21 - Mahasiddha way vs the educational path 01:20:19 - Side-effects of meditation and dark retreat 01:28:04 - Fun vs beneficial 01:29:48 - Requirements for a dark retreat location 01:30:47 - Dark retreat psychosis 01:35:01 - The need for financial support 01:36:43 - When to break your retreat 01:38:07 - Looking for experiences 01:42:43 - Dr Nida's recent lucid dream 01:44:23 - Hallucinations and visions 01:47:59 - How to get involved 01:49:51 - Multi-cultural enlightenment 01:52:51 - How did Dr Nida assess Justin's readiness for dark retreat 01:55:34 - Dark retreat progression 02:03:54 - The power of ngondro 02:04:34 - ‘Spiritual not religious' 02:13:48 - Spiritual trauma 02:16:14 - Why Dr Nida wrote his book in Tibetan 02:19:07 - Questions for the practitioner 02:21:42 - Bad spiritual pedagogy … Previous episodes with Dr Nida Chenagtsang: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=nida Previous episode with Justin Von Bujdoss: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=justin … To find our more about Justin Von Bujdoss, visit: - https://justinvonbujdoss.com/ - https://www.yangtiyoga.com/ To find out more about Dr Nida Chenagtsang, visit: - https://www.facebook.com/DoctorNida/ - http://www.skypressbooks.com/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
Do not try to savethe whole worldor do anything grandiose.Instead, createa clearingin the dense forestof your lifeand wait therepatiently,until the songthat is your lifefalls into your own cupped handsand you recognize and greet it.Only then will you knowhow to give yourself to this worldso worthy of rescue.- Martha Postlethwaite, “The Clearing”Journalling was my first formal practice. At the age of seven, I opened a spiral notebook with a sunflower painted on the cover (I adored that notebook) and thereafter wrote into the headwinds of my growing years with inexplicable regularity. I smudged the creases along the pinkie line of my left hand through dozens of notebooks. Many of my most formative experiences spilled out over the page, and those that didn't felt passed by like landscapes framed through the window of a moving train.In retrospect, I see how writing was a kind of communion for me — a small clearing in the thicket of daily life where I could tend to my heart in private while cultivating the beginnings of the spiritual practice of paying attention. It taught me about ritual and rhythm, and also about vulnerability and meeting our creative edges with fortitude.My writing practice went dormant at the threshold of adulthood. At the time, if you'd asked, I would have pointed to a kind of transmigration from the written word to yoga and meditation as primary vehicles for inner inquiry. I still believe to every practice there is a season, but over the years I've also questioned if, subconsciously, I put my pencil down to distance myself from the unabashed loops and sweeps of my puerile penmanship.Elif Batuman recently published an essay entitled “I'm Done Worrying About Self-Plagiarism” in which she explores the concept of diachronic writing (as in, writing wherein the growth that is intrinsic to the process is actually reflected in the form rather than edited out): “what if we don't try to erase, from a given text, the fact that a writer was changed by/during the act of writing?” By understanding former iterations of our practice, our work, ourselves, as layers over time, we can recognize the presence of a trajectory, an evolution — and we can also study how those layers relate to each other (hello Internal Family Systems). Which is all to say: where are all your journals tucked away?Michelangelo was once asked how he would carve an elephant: “I would take a large piece of stone and take away everything that was not the elephant.” Perhaps this is the work of any practice (or sadhana, from the Sanskrit root meaning “to sit with truth”). We stay with our subject. We commit our attention and learn the craft of our practice — and, in time, a natural chiseling away of what isn't essential begins to occur as well as the emergence of what is.[For your consideration: Michelangelo began apprenticing at the age of 13. He carved David out of a piece of discarded marble. He was known to work tirelessly, often for 18 hours a day. He also said “faith in oneself is the best and safest course.” These details seem not insignificant.]Keeping company with a large stone is daunting, no doubt. Barack Obama said “nothing is more terrifying than the blank page” (likely a hyperbolic statement given his access to the nuclear codes, but nevertheless…). If we are choosing to expand as humans, our return to any creative edge will almost certainly stir the classical hindrances of insecurity, self-criticism, and doubt. I am not Michelangelo, we may state the obvious. What if I can't find my elephant?We are not the only ones. Here's Errol Morris, a 58-year-old giant of contemporary documentary filmmaking, as recently quoted by David Marchese in the New York Times:“I think my whole life has been dominated by feeling like I'm a fraud of some kind… How is my work different than painting by numbers? Is it that different? Thinking you're a fraud may be similar to thinking that you don't know what you're doing. I don't know, really, what I'm doing.”Working with self-doubt demands sincere courage. First, we have to grow very tired of avoidance as an alternative. We have to remember that the source of our perceived inadequacy is not our ostensible failures, nor is the solution in striving for perfection. Fear doesn't necessarily dissolve with time, but it can be recast. It can sharpen our sense of focus as we lean into and develop trust in our practice over time.Anne C. Klein, a professor and lama in the Nyingma tradition, frames the invitation like this: “To recognize all practices and experiences as backlit by the sun of their own great completeness is to find a horizon that never narrows.”I found myself not long ago unpacking a box of old journals on the floor of a new house. Holding them in my hands again, I was reminded of the significance of my earliest practice — the dignified instinct to create a clearing in the dense forest of my growing years. Blushing and messy as they were, and are, those entries contain small moments of coherence, of song, of light.The Guest House is a reader-supported publication.

Subconscious Realms Episode 229 - Tantric Pantheon PT9 - The Fierce Demon-Destroying/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandika/Chandi & Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha. Ladies & Gentlemen, on this Episode of Subconscious Realms we welcome back The Host & Creator of - Threshold Saints Podcast- Jin The Ninja for PT9 of The Tantric Pantheon... Brace yourself & it shall be indeed Wise for you to at very least keep handy spare Underwear or even invest in Adult Diapers, you will most likely Shit your pants after listenin to such Mind-Melting, World Changing Information. "Fierce Demon-Destroying - Chandika/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandi"; (Sanskrit: “The Fierce”) demon-destroying form of the Hindu goddess Shakti, particularly popular in eastern India. She is known by various names, such as Mahamaya (“Great Magic”) or Abhaya (“She Who Is Without Fear”). Her representation is similar to that of Durga, another form of Shakti. She is shown with either 8 or 10 arms, seated on a lion vehicle. Hundreds of folktales and songs tell of her exploits. She is the central figure of an extensive medieval Bengali literature known as Chandi-mangal, the most famous of which is that of Mukundarama Chakravarti (c. 16th century). The form that Goddess Durga took to annihilate demons Chanda and Munda is unimaginable and it is beyond the capacity of human beings. The net result is that sculptures, idol makers and writers wanted to better what was imagined by the previous generation. Thus we have numerous forms of Goddess Chandika. Symbolically the Goddess Chandika form is that of the Violent Mother Nature, who annihilates her sons, who have strayed from the path of Dharma. It must be noted here that the form that Goddess Durga took to kill Chanda and Munda is also known as Goddess Chamunda. "Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha"; Simhamukha is a supreme dakini in Tibetan Buddhism, who combines anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features. She is an wrathful emanation of Guhya Jnana Dakini (Tib. Sangwa Yeshe Khandroma) and is revered in the Nyingma school as one of Padmasambhava's main teachers. Simhamukha is associated with exorcist rituals that prevent black magic and eliminate harmful effects. The ritual practice includes the use of a kapala and a metal mirror on which dharmodaya (“the source of reality”, symbolically depicted in the shape of a tetrahedron) is painted with red powder, in the center of which is written HUNG, the bija mantra of the wrathful goddesses. The mantra of Simhamukha, AH KA SA MA RA TSA SHA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT, is known as “the fierce mantra of fourteen letters that averts all magical attacks” (ngag drag log yige chuzhipa). It can be pronounced in a reverse way during extremely wrathful rituals, and it can also be written on the human body to create the so-called “vajra armor” (dorje gotrab) of the subtle body....
In this interview I am joined by Lama Lhanang, a spiritual teacher of the Nyingma Longchen Nyingthig lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and an expert in meditation, anuyoga, geomancy, art, cultural and historical studies, and Tibetan medicine. Lama Lhanang describes his upbringing in a nomad family in Golok, Tibet, and how an encounter with a wrathful mahasiddha changed his childhood for ever. Lama Lhanang details his education in religion, ritual, and meditation as well as the disciplines of astrology and Tibetan medicine; and recounts stories of his teachers' miraculous powers and spiritual realisations. Lama Lhanang also reveals his initial struggles upon arriving in America, highlights the distinctive qualities of American disciples, and shares his perspective on today's turbulent events such as war in Europe and the Middle East and political division in the USA. … Link in comments.

Our guest today has a unique window into the vast creative potential contained in the world of dreams. Della Burford has recorded her dreams as “dream mandalas” for the past 40 years! Della Burford is an award-winning painter and best selling author of 7 books, she is based on Vancouver Island, Canada. She studied the Mische Technique of painting in Vienna and showed in many of the Society of Art of Imagination shows in Montreal, Ottawa, New York, London, and Peru. She won a prize as the best Graphic Art in an Art Show in Moscow and spoke on Art and Dreams. Her artistic stories have been performed in New York at the Museum of Natural History, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Citycorp, in Washington at the Smithsonian Institute, Korea, Guatemala, and Bali. Her play, Magical Earth Secrets has been performed for seven years in Japan, and Miracle Galaxy is now being performed. Her book “Journey to Dodoland” was turned into an e-zine and a website that was sponsored by Switfshire and has had more than 22 million views worldwide. Della was mentored by a shaman who studied with Carl Jung and also studied dreams with Robert Moss and Dream Yoga with Tenzin Wagyal Rinpoche. She started painting her dream wheels in 1975, creating one complete wheel for every year. The dream wheels have 3 rings: the center ring is for important everyday events following the seasons; the outer ring is dreams that are creative, inspirational and wise dreams (you can write a title for the dream); and the middle is small drawings which are symbols and like the title reminds you of the dream and is a portal to return. Her work is for the World, Humanity, and Spirit.

“How we live is how we die” -- The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners The Tibetan Book of the Dead is the English translation of the Tibetan text known as Bardo Thodol. It serves as a guide for the soul of the deceased after it has left the body and before it is reborn. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine co-authored a recently published book, The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, which provides enduring and accessible advice for living with wisdom and compassion, and meeting the end of life with courage and peace. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche was born in northeastern Tibet. At the age of 8 he was chosen and invited into the monastery by a great Buddhist master. He studied there until he completed his training as a monastic. He has received teachings from a large number of teachers from the different lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, including from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche is from the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the founder and director of Jigme Lingpa Center, a non-profit organization with centers in the US, Canada and Mexico.

A reading for meditation of Garab Dorje's primary teaching, "The Spaciousness of Vajrasattva" (Dorje Sempa Namkha Che) - translated by Yeshe Donden (Roger Calverley). With thanks to Roger for permission to read from this newly published work: "The Gospel of Garab Dorje." Garab Dorje (c. 665) was the first human to receive the complete direct transmission teachings of Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen from Vajrasattva. Garab Dorje then became the teacher of Dzogchen ("Great Perfection", also called Ati Yoga) teachings according to Tibetan Buddhist and Nyingma school traditions. According to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, Garab Dorje transmitted the complete empowerments of Dzogchen to Manjushrimitra, who was regarded as his chief disciple. Padmasambhava is also known to have received the transmission of the Dzogchen tantras directly from Garab Dorje.
These clear and direct pointers by Patrul Rinpoche have been condensed and formatted for the purposes of a Guided Meditation. They are extracted from the full teaching, "Self Liberating -Meditation." Dza Patrul Rinpoche (1808-1887) — an enlightened master, who, though he lived the life of a vagabond, was one of the most illustrious spiritual teachers of the nineteenth century. Hailing from the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, his principal teacher was Jikmé Gyalwé Nyugu, a great master who was one of the foremost students of Jikmé Lingpa.
The Root Verses on the Six Bardos are some of the most famous sections of The Great Liberation Through Hearing in the Bardo (Bardo Tödrol Chenmo), a treasure text revealed by the fourteenth century tertön Karma Lingpa. This text offers instructions on each of the six intermediate states (bardo) and helps us to live a better life while preparing for death and beyond. The Bardo Thodol , is a text from a larger corpus of teachings, the Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones. It is the best-known work of Nyingma literature, known in the West as the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Translated by Adam Pearcey
Loch and Tibetan Buddhist teacher Anam Thubten share a deep dialogue about the ways they each bring a modern approach to ancient teaching to support the awakening of all beings. They explore their appreciation for the simplicity and elegance of the nondual Dzogchen ”Great Completion” teachings, which reveal the already awake consciousness and embodied natural compassion. After the talk, Loch offers a guided micro-meditation to “unhook” awareness from the small mind to drop into the heart mind. Anam Thubten grew up in Tibet and, at an early age, began to practice the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the founder and spiritual advisor of Dharmata Foundation, located in Richmond, California, which serves as a container for spiritual community following the pathless path through the essential teachings of Buddha and the lineage of great Buddhist masters – uniting individuals who have a genuine desire to discover inner freedom and peace through realizing the true nature of all things. Anam Thubten is also the author of various books, which include: Choosing Compassion, No Self No Problem, Into the Haunted Ground, and The Citadel of Awareness. Through the essential wisdom of Buddhism and his personal experience on the spiritual path, Anam Thubten brings alive timeless teachings. He invites everyone to participate in his events and retreats in the U.S. and abroad. https://www.dharmata.org/events-calendar/ Anam's website can be found at https://www.dharmata.org/.
