Podcasts about thought transformation

Lama Zopa Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of first becoming clear about the extremely subtle dependent arising view that things exist merely in name (the Middle Way view). If this view is clear in your mind, then the rest becomes easy. If not, then you may get confused or fall into nihilism.Rinpoche gives instructions on how to meditate on this view. He explains the meaning of “form is empty” and “emptiness is form.” He shows how these lines present the Middle Way view: “form is empty” eliminates the extreme of eternalism; “emptiness is form” eliminates the extreme of nihilism.Rinpoche also describes how to remove obstacles by meditating on emptiness. Whatever problems you have—sickness, relationship problems, business difficulties—look at them as empty. He mentions Kunkyen Jamyang Shepa, who wrote a text about removing obstacles to travel by understanding how these obstacles are dependently arisen. Meditating on the emptiness of the obstacles dispels them, as it purifies the cause of the problem. Thus, meditating on emptiness is very powerful; it is the best protection.For those who missed the morning session, Rinpoche gives the lung of Lama Chöpa. He also gives the oral transmissions of the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation, the Maitreya Buddha mantra, the auspicious prayer, and his name mantra.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/

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.

From Deceitful Limiting Beliefs to Breakthrough and Embracing Kingdom Living “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman The essence of the words by Harriet Tubman provide an illustration that initially brought to mind countless times, in a over decade of coaching, women have come to me not realizing the extent of the limiting beliefs or standards they were holding and how much it was hindering their greatest potential… They came to me for weight loss, they discovered a much more powerful transformation in mind, body and Spirit once they could see and work to undo the programming of limiting beliefs that was unknowingly limiting them… And then it quickly prompted me to reflect on my own stories of personal limitations I've accepted and broken free from over the years. . In this Spirit Led episode we dive into the truth about our need to consistently question or doubts and build beliefs that align with God's word. Jesus came to give us life and give it to us in abundance. You are called for higher, you are called for even more and YET we must discover what hinders us. We must discover where our belief has been limited and chose to intentional work to build thoughts that empower us for our next iteration of God's unique and greater purpose in our personal spaces and our Kingdom impact businesses.

In this session, John Bruna, the spiritual director of the Way of Compassion Dharma Center, offers a helpful modern perspective on the Eight Verses of Mind Training as presented in the Tibetan Buddhist lineages.  He specifically speaks about how recognizing other sentient beings as precious is essential for our journey to spiritual awakening.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche continued his video teachings on thought  transformation from Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore in August.  Here is a summary Thought Transformation video #132, offered on August  14, 2022: Make your suffering into the best happiness, Rinpoche urges us. All of  the pain we face in life came from our mind—our self-cherishing thought  with attachment, anger, and ignorance harmed others and now we  experience the evolution of that. We can use our pain as a cause to  achieve enlightenment, not only for ourselves like taking drugs for our  benefit alone, but for all sentient beings. This is so important to  write down and remember every day. When something undesirable  happens, remember this. Whether physical or mental pain—we can make  it into the best happiness by enjoying it. Every single suffering of all  sentient beings we take onto the path of enlightenment. This makes life so  happy. Whenever we see a suffering sentient being we can do this, we can  practice tonglen, by sincerely taking on other sentient beings'  suffering and giving our happiness to them in return. Each time we do  tonglen, we collect more merit than the sky and become closer and closer to enlightenment, and more and more distant from samsara.  The goal is to experience the suffering of sentient beings so that they  become enlightened, free from samsara. While there is pain, death,  relationship problems, etc., we experience it for all sentient beings,  for them to be free from suffering and achieve enlightenment.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche continues his video teachings on thought transformation. Here is a summary of a teaching given on June 26 from Kopan Monastery, Nepal, at the request of Telo Tulku Rinpoche, Ganden Tendar Ling FPMT Buddhist Center, Aryadeva FPMT Study Group, and the Save Tibet Foundation in Russia.  The first kindness of sentient beings is that they are the source of all past, present, and future happiness including enlightenment, Lama Zopa Rinpoche reminds us. They are from whom we receive Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha and in whom we take refuge. A buddha comes from a bodhisattva. A bodhisattva comes from bodhichitta, and bodhichitta comes from great compassion. Great compassion comes from all those sentient beings whose minds are obscured and suffering including every hell being, every hungry ghost, every animal, every human being, every sura, and every asura being. Before you practice thought transformation, you have to understand that sentient beings are so precious and we must stop harming others. If we remember the kindness of sentient beings, naturally we will respect them and the mind will be less depressed. Rinpoche discusses “the second kindness,” the kindness of sentient being when they were our human mother (55:30), offering commentary on several points related to this. The “third kindness” is that our shelter, food, and clothing came from the kindness of sentient beings (1:13:47). Sentient beings are like a guru, Rinpoche explains. They are wish-granting jewels more precious than gold, diamonds, or sapphires. Cherishing even one sentient being brings us to enlightenment. In fact, the happiness of all sentient beings is in our hands.

Here is a summary of a teaching given on June 25 from Kopan Monastery, Nepal, at the request of Telo Tulku Rinpoche, Ganden Tendar Ling FPMT Buddhist Center, Aryadeva FPMT Study Group, and the Save Tibet Foundation in Russia. The foundation of thought transformation is to stop harming others, Rinpoche explains. When anything undesirable happens to us, we believe it came from outside, we never relate it to our own mind. If we didn't harm others in the past, nobody could harm us in the present time. If we are harmed by people or animals, anger arises and we want to harm them back, we view them as an enemy. If we really want to stop experiencing harm, we have to learn and understand karma, we have to stop harming others. When we practice Dharma, we take care of the world. If we think in a positive way, there is peace for oneself and peace for others - we can bring peace to the world and in our family by practicing Dharma. Practicing Dharma means taking care of the mind and benefiting others. Happiness follows a good heart and suffering follows a bad heart. With a good heart, when we speak to someone or undertake any activity - it becomes virtue, the result is only happiness. This is why it is very important, in any action of body, speech, and mind in daily life, before we start, generate a good heart, a Dharma mind. Then every action becomes Dharma.

[YouTube Video Version: https://youtu.be/2NqU4qBQseY] China has let people from the BBC in to interview students of their "Thought Transformation" Camps, this is just another way to say re-education camps. In fact, if this is physically being carried out by some sort of state-sponsored entity, you can guarantee, to some degree, that a form of 'thought transformation' is occurring on a larger scale. At the time of recording this weeks episode, President Donald Trump held a Social Media Summit (not like we did, earlier this year in Texas) where he didn't include traditional media, and instead gathered online personalities - We'll talk more as this develops. How does this tie into thought transformation? Well, while the whole of society has been whipped into a fervor courtesy of a runaway media radicalizing the populous, the real people in control have been slowly siphoning off their sustenance from us. Jefferey Epstein was recently re-arrested for trafficking in minors, and now information is coming out about his possible involvement with intelligence agencies; As if that makes the trafficking of children acceptable. This, and more, are the current talking points of our society. As the wickedness that has sustained America for so long surfaces, we address the necessary actions required from each individual to keep it in check, and to build a more prosperous future. As I've been saying for almost a year now, "Evil is evolving, and righteousness must rise to meet it.", and that statement still stands true today. From Climate Change to Space Travel, our collective futures will be arduous but rewarding.

The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation is an important text from Tibetan spiritual writings known as lojong (mind training). The root text was written by the eleventh-century meditator Langri Tangpa Dorje Senghe. These verses explain how we can see life through the eyes of compassion, and not through our self-cherishing ego. The more we meditate on thought transformation, the more compassionate we become. You meditate on these verses by reciting each verse and then pausing to contemplate its meaning. Then try to apply it to situations in your life. This will help you to truly transform your way of thinking and acting. Remember, these verses are to be practiced, not just recited. This is the final part of a two part series.

The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation by Langri Tangpo, beautifully illustrate the reality that in the Buddhist literature, mind and heart are not separate; rather a sacred complex of one mind/heart. This interactive sound artwork provides a threshold through which we can each enter into the sacred heart of the Bodhisattva. Seating oneself firmly in the sacredness of mind/heart allows full extension of the Bodhisattvic commitment to develop Bodhicitta, the altruistic intention to attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. The Eight Verses form a practical manual for developing the Bodhisattvic principles expressed by the Ten Paramis: generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, enthusiasm, patience, truthfulness, determination, lovingkindness, equanimity/compassion.

• Phobias Formed (Blame our ancestors) - Science points to direct experiences in forming phobias that can be found further down the genetic line. Raghu rattles off some of the more interesting fears in the modern age - does ignorance play a role in many of these irrational fears? • Mindfulness vs. Therapy (Head to Head) - Spiritual circles sometimes frown upon psychoanalysis, citing its potential to perpetuate thought patterns. We have to keep in mind that meditation alone can’t always provide the healing one might need. Some of the deeper wounds and unconscious fears can linger beyond meditations reach. Raghu agrees, and offers some of his own personal experience with therapy, advising to find someone who isn’t attached to any one school of thought. Dave highlights the unique brand of modern neuroses, which may require a multifaceted approach • Wounds (Deep Cuts) - Dave highlights the unique brand of modern neuroses, which may require a multifaceted approach. Can meditation and therapy adapt to the ever-evolving market of suffering? • Embrace, Explore and Understand - Working with your shadow is a difficult task, regardless of how you approach it. It requires a deep commitment to be honest and loving with yourself • Prolonging Mourning Meditation - At times, your practice may be preventing you from fully addressing your suffering. Try to avoid the spiritual bypass of pushing these issues away • Emancipatory Meditation (Choiceless Awareness?) - “Involves intimacy with oneself as an extraordinary and vital activity in which one attends to whatever one is experiencing without any preconceived conclusions, and without trying to get rid if it” - Don’t encourage, but be aware, without judgment • Ogre as Guru - Dave comments on one of the ‘Eight Verses of Thought Transformation’ by Kadampa Geshe Langri Tangpa. Through practice we learn to transform what we detest - The teachings are everywhere and everyone. But, how do we actually apply this to real life horror, and when is it appropriate to act? Dave points to the current terror of ISIS, and draws on the teachings of the Dalai Lama in sorting this mess out • Taking Up Arms (With Brothers in Arms) - How can we remain mindful when using force, and play out our roles without attachment.

His Holiness’s ”Commentary On The Verses Of Thought Transformation” is our podcast 79 stimulus, where we explore the dangers of self-cherishing, the wisdom of the witness, the cunning of the ego-mind, the temptation of anger addiction, the glory of loving awareness, ending in a sublime George Harrison song. We - Raghu & David & Rachael & Noah & Nathan (the team) - love this podcast, possibly at the risk of subtle self-cherishing!
