The Great Tantra of Vajrasattva is a Root Tantra of the Space Section first translated into Tibetan in the 8th Century by Vairochana Rakshita, a famous translator during the early period of Buddhism in Tibet. This tantra is one of a handful of the earliest translations of Ati Yoga teachings into the Tibetan language, where they were preserved long after the originals disappeared in India, possibly during the Islamic invasions. Vairochana did not attribute these Ati Yoga source texts to himself, but rather to Garab Dorje, who was revered as a full emanation of Vajrasattva in human form. Vairochana's translations stand on their own as jewels of Wisdom, the core teaching being always the same: the luminous, natural, non-dual mind of Great Perfection itself. Reading: excerpts from the full tantra. Compiled by Yeshe Donden (Roger Calverley) integrating various contemporary English translations.

After years of debate, the Dalai Lama has decided he will reincarnate. China, however, is determined that it, not Tibet's government-in-exile, will decide who his successor should be. Time is on Beijing's side. The country's rapid economic development, as well as its severe suppression of dissent, have won over significant numbers of Tibetans to its side. The Tibetan diaspora in India, meanwhile, is in decline, with numbers of young people chosing to make their future in the West.   https://theprint.in/opinion/security-code/dalai-lama-succession-china-tibet-control-future/2680567/

Kate Adie introduces stories from China, Kenya, Australia, Bolivia and the USA.Sichuan province in China is home to a long-standing Tibetan resistance movement. While Beijing views Tibet as an integral part of China – the allegiances of many Tibetans living in China lie with its exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama - voicing support for him can lead to arrest or prison. Laura Bicker visited the town of Aba, where she met monks practicing their faith under heavy surveillance.Youth led protests erupted again in Kenya this week, with many young Kenyans angry at the lack of good job opportunities in the country - more than 30 people died in the demonstrations, and over 500 were arrested. Anne Soy has been following the story in Nairobi.The small Australian town of Morwell will be returning to some form of normality this week, following the conclusion of the trial of Erin Patterson who was found guilty of murdering three of her relatives and attempting to kill another after serving them Beef Wellington laced with toxic death cap mushrooms. Katy Watson reflects on how the town was transformed by the visiting media circus.Bolivia was once seen as an economic miracle, thanks to its huge natural gas reserves. But the energy exports on which the country once thrived have fallen sharply in recent years, pushing many people into poverty. Carolyn Lamboley reveals how the country's economic woes are now affecting people from all walks of life.And finally, we're in the Zion National Park in Utah where Stephen Moss tells the story of the conservation campaign that helped bring the Californian Condor back from the brink of extinction.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Ian Green first met the Dalai Lama in the late 1970s, when he shared with the Tibetan spiritual leader an idea to build a Buddhist monastery in Australia. Now, the Chairman of The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, located in the outskirts of the regional town of Bendigo, Green recalls his first encounter with the Lama vividly. SBS Nepali spoke to Green about his decades-long connection with the Dalai Lama and his thoughts on the ongoing question of who the Dalai Lama's successor might be on the occasion of the Lama's 90th birthday on Sunday, July 6. - तिब्बती धर्मगुरु दलाई लामाले आइतवार, ६ जुलाई २०२५ मा आफ्नो ९०औँ जन्मोत्सव मनाएका छन्। योसँगै उनका उत्तराधिकारी को हुन्छन् भन्ने प्रश्न पनि धेरैको रहेको छ। मेलबर्नबाट करिब दुई घण्टाको दुरीमा रहेको भिक्टोरियाको रिजनल शहर बेन्डिगोभन्दा केही पर रहेको ‘द ग्रेट स्तूपा अफ युनिभर्सल कम्प्यासन'का प्रमुखका साथै, दलाई लामा इन अस्ट्रेलियाका पूर्व प्रमुख पनि रहेका इयन ग्रिनसँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

Vulture and New York Magazine film critic Bilge Ebiri returns to discuss Bernardo Bertolucci's stunning mood piece Little Buddha, a rich and evocative story of an American family who travel to Bhutan after learning their son may be the reincarnation of the spiritual leader of a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks. The film also chronicles chapters in the life of Siddartha (played by Keanu Reeves) who rejects his life of sheltered privilege after learning of human suffering in order to seek a path of spiritual enlightenment. Exhibiting Berolucci's customary visual richness - emboldened by breathtaking images from Academy Award-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro - and an otherworldly emotional frankness, Little Buddha conjures the sensation and grandeur of a personal spiritual awakening. We discuss the career of Bertolucci and his "Eastern Trilogy" beginning with 1987's Best Picture winner The Last Emperor, in which Bertolucci's fascination with the spiritual and cultural practices of the Asian continent became a personal endeavor into a deeper understanding of his own artistic ethos. Then we unpack the splendid uncannines of Little Buddha and how Bertolucci's directorial mastery allows for a film of constant settling and de-escalation to feel thrilling and proulsive through it's evocation of a preternatural emotionality. Finally, we discuss the west's fascination with the Tibetan independence movement in the 1990s and the American films it inspired during the decade.   Follow Bilge Ebiri on TwitterOrder Little Buddha on 4K or Blu-ray from Kino LorberGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, the question of who will succeed him is reigniting tensions between Tibet and China. We speak with Sherap Therchin of the Canada-Tibet Committee about why this could lead to two rival Dalai Lamas—and what that means for Tibetan identity, faith, and global politics.

Cultural Survival recently attended the Global Symposium on Cultural Sustainability at the University of Leeds, where we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Sona Wangmo. Dr. Wangmo is a respected scholar whose research interests include the transformation and urbanization of rural areas in China, as well as pastoral resettlement and tourism development in Eastern Tibet. Our conversation focused on the growing intersection between tradition and modernity, particularly the increasing technological engagement among Tibetan monks. Dr. Wangmo provided valuable insights into how monastic communities are adapting to digital advancements, not only as tools for communication and education but also as mediums to preserve and share their cultural and spiritual knowledge in a rapidly changing world.

The Dalai Lama has spent almost his entire adult life as a refugee from his homeland of Tibet. Fleeing Chinese persecution in the 1950s, he has built a nation in exile, striving to preserve Tibetan culture as not just the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, but as a global ambassador for his people's cause.But he knows a transition is coming. On his 90th birthday this week, the Dalai Lama announced plans for how his successor will be chosen after his death. Since that successor will be a child, that means years of power vacuum that China is almost certain to capitalize on, including attempting to name a rival Dalai Lama of their own.Mujib Mashal is the South Asia bureau chief with the New York Times. He explains what's at stake for the people of Tibet — and Asian geopolitics more broadly — in the coming power struggle when the Dalai Lama passes on.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The reincarnation of The Dalai Lama extends beyond it's spiritual significance; it has become a complex geopolitical conflict, with China eager to control the centuries-old process and the future of Tibet.Saransh Sehgal writes on social issues around the globe, cultures and travel in the Himalayan region and specifically Tibetan geopolitics. He's author of Dalai Lama at 90: The Succession Battle That Will Shape Tibet's Future

Chokgyur Dechen Zhikpo Lingpa (1829-1870) was born in Sangyel, at the base of the sacred mountain Namkhadzö in the province of Nangchen, Kham. He was a contemporary of and collaborator with the Dzogchen masters of the Rimé movement, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo and Jamgön Kongtrul. Chokgyur Lingpa was a tertön or "treasure revealer". Regarded as one of the major tertöns in Tibetan history, his termas are widely practiced by both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools. Chokgyur Lingpa was someone who the majority of masters accepted upon simply hearing his name and connecting with his teachings, without any dispute or effort of their own.

In this soul-deep conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Dr. Lori Joan Swick—author, spiritual scholar, and dream researcher—for an exploration of dreaming as a sacred and mindful practice. Lori shares insights from her book Dreaming—The Sacred Art, revealing how dreamwork can serve as a powerful spiritual discipline and tool for self-awareness, creativity, and healing. This episode delves into the intersection of ancient traditions, modern neuroscience, and personal experience to reframe dreaming not as random mental noise, but as profound inner guidance. About the Guest:Dr. Lori Joan Swick holds a Ph.D. in religion and philosophy and has dedicated her life to elevating women's spiritual voices. She is the bestselling author of The Sculptor and the Saint and Dreaming—The Sacred Art. A passionate advocate of sacred dreamwork, Lori blends academic rigor with intuitive wisdom to help others understand the transformative power of the dream world. She also hosts the video blog How Women Initiated the World's Religions. Key Takeaways: Dreams are not random; they are messages from the subconscious and soul. Mindful dreaming can be developed through intention, lucid awareness, and journaling. Eastern and Indigenous traditions view dreams as extensions of waking life—tools for healing and insight. Lucid dreaming, long explored in Tibetan practices and by Western scientists like Stephen LaBerge, bridges mysticism and neuroscience. Dream recall improves with focused attention and morning reflection. Patterns in dreams often point to emotional truths or guidance.

Authorities in Texas say -- they are not ready to give up hope. Three days after devastating flash floods, rescue workers are still digging through debris in a desperate attempt to find survivors. There are also questions about how the floods caught officials by surprise - and whether possible warning signs were missed. Also: Today is the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday. He is one of the world's most influential spiritual leaders - and a symbol of hope and freedom for Tibetans. We'll take you to Dharamshala, India - where the Dalai Lama lives in exile - to hear about the festivities, and simmering tensions over how his eventual successor will be selected. And: In the face of trade tensions with the U.S., some auto industry leaders in this country say it's time for Canada to steer our own destiny - by building cars entirely within Canada's borders. But some experts say that task is easier said than done.Plus: Colombia's rebel groups recruit teens through TikTok, Homes in Canada's biggest cities going unsold, and more

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: Masonic and satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, qualified Survival Instructor, Instructor for Hostile Environment Awareness Training, former alpine climber, Tibetan medicine practitioner, adventure sport instructor, outdoor lover, my new friend, and all around badass and inspiration, Lou Born on August 8 - or 8/8, a date symbolically significant in the esoteric circles that would shape her early life, Lou emerged into a world steeped in spiritual and occult influences. Her family's bloodline, tracing back to early British royalty, Danish ancestry, and historical figures like Odin and Freya, marked her as a target for exploitation by secret societies, including Masonic and military networks. Unbeknownst to her as a child, this lineage, combined with her innate psychic abilities, would thrust her into a hidden world of ritualistic abuse and mind control programming.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Raised in South London, Lou's home was a paradox of spiritual allure and dark undercurrents. Her mother, a spiritual channeler, practiced yoga, healing, and automatic writing, influenced by esoteric figures like Steven Jenkins, a Mongolian Buddhist and author, and Andrew Barti, a Grandmaster of the Knights of Malta - who was a frequent visitor to her home and one of her abusers - presenting himself as charitable while orchestrating ritualistic abuse of children behind the scenes. Her father - who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. This only added to the complicated family dynamics.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Her childhood was punctuated by fragmented memories of horrific rituals - being tied up, hung upside down, subjected to electric shocks, and submerged in a cold water tank with a dead body. These experiences, often conducted in underground tunnels and other conspicuous locations, were part of a sophisticated, governmental programming system linked to Masonic lodges and military bases.

Please join us for this healing session where we work to face, handle, and resolve unhealthy relationship patterns termed emotional entanglements.  There is a unique Tibetan term for these types of relationships called lenchak.  Lenchak translates into karmic debt and refers to the negative karmic pulls we have to certain relationships that can drain our energy.  These types of relationships may be between parents and children, siblings, spouses, partners, business associates, students and teachers.  Anytime we are in a deep connection with someone where we are feeling friction or drain is due to lenchak or karmic debt.Once we recognize this and allow the feelings, emotions, and thoughts to be allowed and not fought after them we can clear the karmic debt.  The relationship then enters a new level of harmony and balance.  In this Arcturian healing, we ask the Divine, Our Guides and Teachers, the Arcturians, Our Holy Guardian Angel, and Our Higher Self to be conscious of these type of relationships and then assist in dissolving the energetic, emotional, mental, and karmic seeds and patterns underlying these relationships.

Sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is just a moment set aside for quiet, breath, and reminding ourselves of who we really are.  In this gentle guided practice, Kimberly Brown uses simple repeated phrases to ground attention and offer a place to rest and reset.  Note that this practice includes longer pauses of complete silence for reflection and presence. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go.      Kimberly Brown is a meditation teacher and author. She leads classes and retreats that emphasize the power of compassion and kindness meditation to reconnect us to ourselves and others. She studies in both the Tibetan and Insight schools of Buddhism and is a certified mindfulness instructor. Her book Happy Relationships: 25 Buddhist Practices to Transform Your Connection with Your Partner, Family, and Friends, is published with Prometheus Books.

As the Dalai Lama nears his 90th birthday, Tibetan exiles in Australia are preparing cultural tributes that double as acts of defiance. While students here enjoy freedoms denied in Tibet, the future of spiritual leadership for Tibetan Buddhists remains uncertain. China insists the next Dalai Lama must be Chinese, but he says his successor will come from the free world, possibly even as a woman. - Приближается 90 летие Далай-ламы. Тибетские изгнанники в Австралии готовят культурные подношения, которые одновременно представляют собой акты неповиновения. Пока студенты здесь наслаждаются свободами, которых лишены в Тибете, будущее духовного лидерства тибетских буддистов остается неопределенным. Китай настаивает, что следующим Далай-ламой должен быть китаец, но сам Далай-лама говорит, что его преемником станет выходец из свободного мира, возможно, даже женщина.

The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is turning 90 and has confirmed - after years of uncertainty - that he will have a successor after his death and will not chose to end the line.  In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Dalai Lama is reincarnated after they die. Monks search, select, and school a successor – usually a child. The current Dalai Lama was recognised at the age of two. He and an estimated 150,000 Tibetans now live in exile in India, and other countries, after China annexed Tibet decades ago.  And that makes who the next Dalai Lama is, a concern of China's.  Joining Matt Barbett is Professor Robert Barnett, who founded the Modern Tibetan Studies Program at Columbia University and is now at University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He has also met the Dalai Lama several times. Producers: Soila Apparicio and Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Wendy Parker 

Ahead of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama has finally put an end to years of speculation over what will happen after his death. The head of Tibetan Buddhism confirmed that he will have a successor, who will be chosen by a board he has set up. But the Chinese government says that only they have the authority to appoint the next Dalai Lama. So who will decide how the next Dalai Lama is chosen - and why is the position so significant?Shawn Yuan from the BBC's Global China Unit explains how the process of finding the next Dalai Lama has changed over the years and talks us through the strained relations between the Chinese government and the spiritual leader. And the BBC's China Correspondent, Laura Bicker, tells us about her recent visit to a monastery in China's south-western Sichuan province, which has been at the heart of Tibetan resistance for decades.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Iqra Farooq Producers: Chelsea Coates and Josh Jenkins Editor: Julia Ross-Roy

Our guest argues that looking back on those who came before us can help us understand who we are and why we do the things we do. Plus, a very special request from Dan. Spring Washam is a well-known teacher, author, and visionary leader based in Oakland, California. She is the author of A Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage and Wisdom in Any Moment and her newest book, The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground. Spring is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities. She is one of the founding teachers at the East Bay Meditation Center, located in downtown Oakland, CA and has practiced and studied Buddhist philosophy in both the Theravada and Tibetan schools of Buddhism since 1999. In this episode we talk about: How Spring came to write about Harriet Tubman's life Her work with plant medicine and the shamanic tradition The dream and the “conversations” Spring had with Tubman Why we are all so interested in ancestry How we can deepen our relationship with our ancestors Family Constellation Therapy as a modality for doing ancestry work Spring's own family history Why she is still processing the experience of writing her book about Harriet Tubman What she means by the “inner underground railroad” and how it is alive today And, how, in the inner underground railroad, freedom equates to nirvana  Content Warning: mentions of suicide This episode originally aired in February 2023, and we're re-airing it today for two reasons: first, because it's awesome; and second, because Spring needs help.  A few months ago, Spring was hit by a delivery truck while crossing the street in Atlanta. She suffered extensive injuries and has been largely unable to work since then. As a result, she's been experiencing some financial distress between her mounting medical bills and her inability to be fully employed.  We've teamed up with the meditation teachers Jack Kornfield and Trudy Goodman to start a GoFundMe page to help Spring raise a little bit of money. Jack, Trudy and Dan have all contributed. If you can make a contribution, please do. No amount is too small.  You can find the GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-spring-washams-healing-journey   Related Episodes: The Dharma of Harriet Tubman | Spring Washam Spring Washam, ‘What Was Creating All This Suffering?'
