24.01.2022 Conclusion of Weekend Teachings with Khenpo- la and face masks.

24.01.2022 Q: The teacher/student relationship is fundamental in Tibetan Buddhism. In reality, in the West, only a few can be so lucky to have a traditional guru/student r...elationship. So, often it happens to a practitioner that after some years there is less enthusiasm and interest. What can you advise to those in such a situation? JTP: The important thing is to realize that even in a traditional guru/student relationship, it’s not really so necessary to always be around the guru. Once one has made a connection, even if one doesn’t see the guru very often and the guru is very far away, still one can keep the inner heart connection. For example, in the Tibetan tradition, there are very beautiful prayers for calling on the guru from afar. And especially if these are set to a melody and one can sing them from the heartthey create that connection with the guru, because it’s a mind-to-mind connection. Sometimes, even if the lama is sitting in front of you, you can feel there’s a thousand miles between you; likewise, you can be a thousand miles away and feel that the guru is right there, sitting in your heart. At the same time, one has to realize that the ultimate guru is one’s own buddha nature: it’s the nature of the mind, and one has to cultivate being able to be centered within one’s own innate awareness and not depend so much on an external relationship. Because when one is in the nature of the mind, then one is indeed one with the guru. This is why when we do guru yoga we absorb the guru into ourselvesto realize that his/her mind and our own mind have become one. This is very important to realize. The ultimate guru is our own innate wisdom, and if we can access and cultivate that, then the enthusiasm for the Dharma just bubbles up endlessly. It doesn’t depend on external shots of inspiration from an actual person.

14.01.2022 Plum Village have released a statement saying that Thich Nhat Hanh has decided to stop eating. Please, check the official Plum Village updates. One today says "...his health remains stable". Of course, some days he eats some days not, but it's not new these last years. He will be 94 on 11th October. What a beautiful human being. What an incredible life! A Wonderful teacher, and an inspiration to millions. Contemplation on No Coming, No Going This body is not me. I am not limited by this body. I am life without boundaries. I have never been born, and I have never died. Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind. Since before time, I have been free. Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey. Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek. So laugh with me, hold my hand, let us say good-bye, say good-bye, to meet again soon. We meet today. We will meet again tomorrow. We will meet at the source every moment. We meet each other in all forms of life. Thich Nhat Hanh

05.01.2022 Day 5 of the Uluru Pilgrimage was both Guru Rinpoche Day and an opportunity to walk into the warm embrace of Kata Tjuta. Towering high above us, the massive fo...rms gave us both a sense of vast time and space, but also intimacy and warmth. I’m not sure if we were simply delerious from lack of sleep or giddy from the uplifting power of this place, but we were all in high spirits as we picnicked before Kata Tjuta at sunset: playing desert soccer....taking creative photos....laughing so much! Khenpo-la’s teaching today was based on the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva: mind training which guides us to reframe situations so that we respond in a useful way rather than in a way which causes harm to ourselves and others. When we suffer (through circumstances or at the hands of others) this is the exhaustion of one negative cause we created in our past. Khenpo-la taught today that one cause has one result. Once it is exhausted, we are free of that particular karma. At that point it is up to us: if someone takes advantage of us or gossips about us, how do we respond? Without mind training, we almost always respond negatively- getting angry, ‘getting back at’ that person... And in this way, we begin a new cause for our own future suffering. If we implement the mind training, however, we may be able to, at the very least, cause no further negative karma for ourselves or our assailant. At best, Khenpo-la explained, we can realise that they have given us a precious opportunity to deepen our practice of loving kindness, compassion and wisdom. No-one is completely devoid of positive qualities. Also, all beings in previous lives have been our mother or child. So we generate love for our assailant. No one seeks to harm others who is not already suffering themselves. So we have compassion for them. We are honest with ourselves about our own faults and our capacity to help (Is it better to act or to sit back from the situation and simply offer the person love and care quietly in our hearts?) In this way, we practise wisdom.
