25.01.2022 Become Your Own Therapist Live Online teachings with Ven Jamyang Streamed to Tara Meditation Centre Gompa Thursday, 18 June to 9 July at 7 pm. Bookings: https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=626451&. ... We have the illusion that we're free when in reality we're not. We project expectations into the world that aren't in accord with reality. Looking more closely at our minds, we understand these expectations come from our attachments causing many problems for ourselves and others. In this course, we will discuss the nature of mind and learn how to develop some control over our wayward emotions and tendencies. If you are unable to come into the centre, please get in touch for details about joining in from home. [email protected] or message via Facebook.

18.01.2022 During my retreat and practice there have been some good signs and some positive outcomes too, but I like to say that all of these are just hallucinations. Wha...tever good happens is no more than the blessing of His Holiness. I myself am no better than the poorest being among the rest. About two years ago, His Holiness advised me that whenever the opportunity comes, I should give teachings or any kind of service that I can deliver to those who are in need. But I know I have nothing to offer to others. To tell you honestly, in my mind I have a very strong belief that the essence of life is only to have the realization of bodhichitta and emptiness. Though it is difficult to gain, my primary wish is to achieve indestructible faith in these two before I die. If I cannot help people to generate these things, our meeting is just a waste of time. Other than that, I am the poorest by inner, outer and secret perspectives. The best side of me is only that I met the best Dharma, best practice and the best lamas. Khadro-la

12.01.2022 This is a short visit to Chitkul, the last village on the Old Tibet Road in 2019, when everything was as it should be. The time was summer, and we were just two... people wandering around in an old car. Very interesting people and a beautiful place. It is said that this place breathes the cleanest air on the planet. There is no phone signal except the government owned BSNL. I was not attempting a Vlog but this might qualify as one. Music is Crane song by Tenzin Choegyal thank you. Share if you like. See more

11.01.2022 We also need to understand something that quantum physics points out that things don’t exist as they appear. Simple investigation of physical things reveals t...hat they consist of particles. There is no independent entity to be found. Negative emotions are based on the appearance that things exist independently from their own side. Positive emotions like compassion are developed on the basis of reason. See more

08.01.2022 You Need to Know Your Own Suffering, and Happiness and Suffering Depend on Your Interpretation Lama Zopa Rinpoche continues his video teachings from Kopan Monas...tery in Nepal during the coronavirus pandemic. Here is a summary of the most recent teaching: This video begins with part two of Khen Rinpoche Geshe Thubten Chonyi’s life story as well as a continuation of a brief history of Kopan Monastery. Lama Zopa Rinpoche begins this teaching by asking us: Since anger is the cause of hell, why don’t we put a stop to it? We get so angry over small problems, which cause us eons of the heaviest suffering in samsara. So why don’t we avert it? Even the greatest suffering in the human realm is nothing compared to the suffering of hell. As an example, Rinpoche explains that if you step on a tiny thorn and it penetrates the flesh on your foot in the human realm, the equivalent in hell would be more severe than having 360 sharp spears going through your body. By understanding the suffering of others we can develop compassion and bodhichitta, qualifying us to liberate numberless beings from samsara and bring them to enlightenment. However, without knowing our own suffering, we cannot understand the suffering of others. Worldly concern, clinging to this life’s happiness, prevents us from renouncing samsara and causes us to continue following attachment, living life in an hallucination. Without bodhichitta, even if you develop a highly advanced practice, you cannot achieve enlightenment. As human beings, we cannot stand small problems and difficulties. These hardships are nothing compared to those experienced by animals. They cannot express themselves, so there is no one to help them. We have to develop compassion for animals and benefit them. There are many ways to do this. You can build holy objects that animals can circumambulate to collect merit. If they are small, for example ants or worms, you can take many at a time around holy objects. You can recite mantras for them, offer them blessed water, play sutras they can hearthere are many ways to benefit animals who will suffer not just this one lifetime, but for eons. Happiness and suffering depend on how you interpret things. If happiness and suffering came from the outside, then everyone would experience things in the same way. However, the same situation can happen to two different people, and their interpretation of it can be completely differentone person angry, the other person happy. This is because it comes from the mind. We want everyone to be happy toward us and like us. We don’t want anyone to harm us or be displeased with us. This is due to self-cherishing, attachment. Because of that, if someone does harm, insult, or criticize us, we get so upset because the self-cherishing mind doesn’t get what it wants. Instead of getting angry, when someone is unhappy with you, think: This person is the most kind to me because they are helping me destroy the I that I hold as real, the thought that my happiness is more important than anyone else’s. This self-cherishing and grasping at I has prevented you from achieving even one realization or liberating even one single sentient being and is your real enemy because all of the suffering of samsara from beginningless rebirths up until now is due to thinking in this way. The person who doesn’t like you is so kind and dear because they are helping you destroy the real enemy. We invite you to go deeper into the topics presented here, plus many others, by watching Rinpoche’s video and reading the full transcript of Rinpoche’s teaching.

05.01.2022 Happy Birthday Wishes for His Holiness the Dalai Lama! On July 6, His Holiness the Dalai Lama‘s 85th birthday is being celebrated around the world by Tibetans a...nd an international community of students of Tibetan Buddhism. FPMT International Offices joins in the rejoicing and offers prayers for His Holiness’s excellent health and very long life! Supporting the wishes of His Holiness is a primary aim of the FPMT organization as described in Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Vast Vision for FPMT. Rinpoche has explained that [I would like] for FPMT to offer service to His Holiness the Dalai Lama as much as possible and to be able to fulfill His Holiness’ wishes. This is the highest priority for the organization. Rinpoche has further said, This is the quickest and most vast way of benefiting sentient beings. Since its inception, FPMT has turned to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for inspiration and guidance and attempted to promote and actualize His Holiness’ vision as much as possible and to create the cause for His Holiness’ long life. This includes offering or being part of offering a long life puja to His Holiness when possible. Rinpoche has also given extensive advice on prayers and practices to be done on His Holiness’s birthday and recently arranged 1000 Buddhas to be offered to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on behalf of FPMT orgaziation. As the spiritual guide for six million Tibetans, as Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s guru, as a recipient of the Noble Peace Prize, and as a promoter of each individual’s universal responsibility toward humankind and the environment, His Holiness serves as a living symbol for world peace. At 85 years, His Holiness continues to be relevant and tuned into the needs of people around the world, engaging in discussions with young people and participating in dialogues on the environment, science and the mind, and interfaith understanding. During the coronavirus pandemic, His Holiness is offering live webcasts of teachings to continue to connect with students and bring the teachings of the Buddha to the world. His Holiness also participates in novel projects, such his new album Inner World, a collection of mantras and teachings set to music that is being releases on his birthday this year. (The tracks Compassion and One of My Favorite Prayers are available as videos.) The album was created by long-time students of His Holiness wishing to bring benefit to people. Proceeds from the album will be donated to projects carrying out His Holiness’s vision. For more on His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his beneficial activities, please visit DalaiLama.com.

02.01.2022 LIKE A BOAT WITHOUT A RUDDER The close Tibetan Buddhist community of Bendigo, Australia, is devastated by the recent decision to reject esteemed Abbot Geshe Rap...ten's visa.
