17.01.2022 Friday, 24th of July is Chokhur Dchen, one of the four major Buddhist events, which commemorates the First Turning of the Wheel of Dharma - Buddha Sakyamunis ...first sermon. It is said, that on this day all actions, positive or negative, are multiplied many million times. This first sermon, given forty-nine days after Buddhas realization, was a fundamental teaching summarized into the Four Noble Truths. It contains the entire essence of all subsequent teaching, becoming the common ground for all Buddhist traditions. The Four Noble Truths are: The Truth of Suffering, which is to be understood; The Truth of the Cause of Suffering, which is to be abandoned; The Truth of the End of Suffering, which is to be actualized; The Truth of the Path leading to the End of Suffering, which is to be relied upon. ((Please note that "suffering" is an inadequate translation of the word "Dukkha", but it is the one most commonly found, lacking a better word in English. "Dukkha" means "intolerable", "unsustainable", "difficult to endure", and can also mean "imperfect", "unsatisfying", or "incapable of providing perfect happiness".)) Suffering - Life always involves suffering, in obvious and subtle forms. Even when things seem good, we always feel an undercurrent of anxiety and uncertainty inside. The Cause of Suffering - The cause of suffering is craving and fundamental ignorance. We suffer because of our mistaken belief that we are a separate, independent, solid I. The painful and futile struggle to maintain this delusion of ego is known as samsara, or cyclic existence. The End of Suffering - The good news is that our obscuration are temporary. They are like passing clouds that obscure the sun of our enlightened nature, which is always present. Therefore, suffering can end because our obscuration can be purified and awakened mind is always available to us. The Path - By living ethically, practicing meditation, and developing wisdom, we can take exactly the same journey to enlightenment and freedom from suffering that the Buddhas do. We too can wake up.

17.01.2022 A great opportunity to better understand love Thank you Genla See you tomorrow

16.01.2022 Today we encountered some technical issues when Venerable was giving a live teaching on healing disturbing emotions. Venerable taught nowadays we can easil...y be irritable when the technology goes wrong, because we have expectations and rely on it so much. Although we didnt expect this teaching to turn into actual practice so quickly, the network broke in the middle of the teaching the image frozen, the session ended with Venerables manifested irritable face! We are sorry about the network, we will improve it. However using this situation, it reminds us to check how could we face the unexpected situation? maybe not with a irritable face Its a very good reminder to all of us. May all of us remember this precious moment whenever you encounter difficulties in your life. ------- This live teaching is part of the Healing Disturbing Emotions online certificate course, the enrolment period is closed, however due to Venerables compassion, we have decided that everyone can join the live teaching, we will make an announcement here. please stay tuned ! The complete video & audio recordings are available to the members of the Online Sangha on the Recent Teaching page. After 3 months, it will move to the public teaching library.

15.01.2022 final teaching of HDE and 37 practices tomorrow through www.venerable-namgyel-online-sangha.com at 5pm Brisbane time.

14.01.2022 Sentient beings are limitless. Therefore if we cultivate bodhicitta by relying on the understanding that there are limitless sentient beings, our cultivation of... bodhicitta becomes limitless too. The authentic cultivation of limitless bodhicitta is accomplished that way. Then if our cultivation of bodhicitta is limitless, it goes without saying that the benefits would be limitless too. But the problem is that we do not fully understand that sentient beings really are limitless. We may talk about "all old-mother-like sentient beings who are equal to space", but nobody seems to fully understand just how vast the universe actually is. And no one seems to know that it is pervaded by sentient beings. Some scientists even say that there are no inhabited worlds except planet earth. But such a perspective is too narrow! It is like only seeing the eye of a needle! ~ Yangthang Rinpoche

02.01.2022 NOW is the time to MEDITATE!

02.01.2022 On the coming Friday it is the anniversary of the day Shakyamuni Buddha gave the first teaching. His motivation was to liberate all sentient beings in the same... way he liberated himself. Imagine if Lord Buddha had not taught his wisdom, we would still be in the ignorance and darkness of suffering. That's why we celebrate in the 24th July. It's an auspicious day when all actions are multiplied by one hundred million. Online Sangha has sponsored a monastery in Nepal to do Medicine Buddha Puja and long life mantra on this day, for all of you, our international students and volunteers. We also invited Venerable Namgyel to make light offering and pray for us on that day, *if you would like to join, please kindly go to here* (only $1 AUD per lamp) : https://www.venerable-namgyel-online-sangha.com/light-offer May we actualize the meaning of Buddha's teachings in order to benefit countless sentient beings.

01.01.2022 Without understanding how your inner nature evolves, how can you possibly discover eternal happiness? Where is eternal happiness? Its not in the sky or in the jungle; you wont find it in the air or under the ground. Everlasting happiness is within you, within your psyche, your consciousness, your mind. Thats why its important that you investigate the nature of your own mind. Lama Thubten Yeshe
