Tummo Practice Retreat with Choekhortshang Rinpoche Orte (VT) Italy, November 1 to 4, 2018 Tummo Practice Retreat with Choekhortshang Rinpoche Orte (VT) Italy, November 1 to 4, 2018 Lungtok Ling Association (www.lungtokling.org) organizes a residential retreat on the Practice of Tummo with Choekhortshang Rinpoche, to complete the cycle of teachings from the Bon Mother Tantra that Rinpoche has transmitted in Italy over the last few years. The meaning of Tummo is “inner fire” or “wisdom fire”. This practice involves generating and directing heat or warmth within the body by applying key points on Tsa (channels), Lung (wind or breathing) and Tigles (light drops of consciousness). The warmth burns physical impurities and destroys afflictions and conceptual thoughts transforming them into joyful bliss that enhances swift arising of co-emergent wisdom to be in the highest level of consciousness. Tummo in Bon Buddhism is a teaching from the Mother Tantra and it is also linked to the completion phases of Dzogchen practice. Dzogchen meditation is considered the highest and most profound practice in Bon tradition. Rinpoche teaches Tummo from the commentary text called Kusum Rangshar (Spontaneous Arising of the Three Kayas), written by Shardza Rinpoche, a Bön master who achieved the body of light or rainbow body. During this four days retreat Rinpoche will guide the three actual techniques of the Tummo practice followed by preliminary visualizations. The three techniques are Soft Breathing/Gentle Prana, Medium Breathing/intermediate Prana and Fierce Breathing/Wrathful Prana. These practices involve body posture, breathing techniques and visualisations. As for the breathing techniques, there are four main points that will be guided: inhaling, filling, pressing and exhaling. Through the practice of Tummo one can achieve three main benefits; in the outer way it can heal and cure physical illnesses, in the secret way it averts obstacles by spirits and in the inner way it transforms all the negative emotions into wisdoms. The whole Teaching will be transmitted (not one of two parts) On Rinpoche’s request, it will be possible to attend only to the whole retreat, a shorter participation will not be allowed. The retreat is not recommended to absolute beginners. The retreat will take place in a Farm Stay in Central Italy, near Orte (VT) “La Vecchia Fattoria” http://www.lavecchiafattoria.info/ , located in the rolling green hills between Lazio and Umbria. The Farm offers accommodation in rooms and apartments with full board, to allow us to enjoy a true residential retreat, with exclusive use of the whole structure. The Farm Stay is easily reachable from the A1 highway and from Orte Railway Station by taxi. The retreat will start at 3.pm on Thursday November 1st and will end on Sunday 4th with Lunch. Cost of the Retreat: 120 euros (including the subscription quota to Association Lungtok Ling) Cost of Accommodation: 60 euros per person per day in double/triple room, including all vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks during the breaks, drinks). Single occupancy of double room: 80 euros per day.

He was born in Dolpo, a high mountain region of north- western Nepal bordering Tibet, in 1976, to an important local family. He is the head lama of Tashi Namgyal monastery in Dolpo. According to tradition, when he was 8 years old his father and grandfather took him to India, to be raised and educated at Menri monastery, in the village of Dolanji in Himachal Pradesh.

  • The Main Path of the Victors
    THE MAIN PATH OF THE VICTORS A ROOT TEXT FOR THE PRECIOUS GELUG/KAGYU TRADITION OF MAHAMUDRA PANCHEN LOSANG CHÖKYI GYELTSEN (1567-1662) Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra Here, in explaining the instructions on Mahamudra from the tradition of the holy beings who are scholars and adepts, there are three outlines: 1) activities for entering into the composition, 2) actual explanation of the composed instructions and 3) dedication of virtue arisen through having composed the instructions. 1. Activities for entering into the composition NAMO MAHAMUDRAYA I respectfully bow at the feet of my peerless guru, master of adepts, who directly exposed the great seal of Mahamudra, the all-pervasive nature of everything, the indivisible, inexpressible and indestructible sphere of the mind. I shall now write down instructions on Mahamudra coming from the Gelug/Kagyu tradition of the supreme adept Dharmavajra and his spiritual sons, a tradition of excellent instructions having gathered the essence of the ocean of sutras, tantras and oral instructions. 2. Actual explanation of the composed instructions Regarding this, there are three outlines: 1) preliminaries, 2) actual practice and 3) conclusion. 2A. Preliminaries In order to have a doorway for entering into the Dharma and a central pillar for the Mahayana, sincerely go for refuge and generate bodhicitta, without these being merely words from your mouth. In general, as a preliminary to giving any profound instructions or engaging in meditation, all the holy beings of the different traditions in Tibet concord in doing what is called "The Four Guiding Instructions": 1) Going for refuge and generating bodhicitta, 2) Vajrasattva meditation, 3) Mandala offering and 4) Guru yoga.

  • Three Teachings
    ThreeThree TTeachingseachings Talks by Ven. Tenzin Palmo HAN DD ET U 'S B B O RY eOK LIBRA E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.buddhanet.net Buddha Dharma Education Association Inc. Content Introduction 3 The First Teaching — Retreat 5 Questions & Answers 23 The Second Teaching — Mahamudra Practice 38 The Third Teaching — Mindfulness 76 Questions & Answers 80 2 Introduction These three talks were delivered in Singapore during May 1999 at various Dharma centres. The audiences were mainly comprised of Chinese middle class pro- fessionals who, within their highly pressured and stressful lives, are searching — in ever increasing num- bers — for a viable means to counteract the relentless strain of the daily round and bring some peace and clarity into their lives. They are reaching out to fi nd a spiritual dimension to their otherwise empty, though materially prosperous, existence. When I face an audience my main intention is how to say something that will be of use and benefi t. Not just words that will be intellectually challenging or emotionally satisfying, but instruction that can be used and that will encourage people to try to help them- selves — and others. The audience is usually not made up mainly of monks, nuns and hermits as it would have been in the past! It is an audience of ordinary people with families, professions and normal social obligations. Therefore it is appropriate to talk as though they are people who have outwardly renounced the world and have nothing to do all day but formal Dharma practice. 3 The fact is that these often sincere and dedicated Dharma followers who have very little time for formal practice.

Hurd & K. Bulkeley (Eds.) Lucid dreaming: New perspectives on consciousness in sleep. Volume 2: Religion, creativity, and culture. Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger, 2014, pp 1-22. Tibetan Buddhist Dream Yoga and the Limits of Western Psychology Eleanor Rosch Department of Psychology University of California, Berkeley “Look to your experience in sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake.”1 The Buddha has been called both The Awakened One and The Enlightened One, and both of these qualities are evoked by the word lucid in the way that we now use it to refer to lucid dreaming. However, the uses to which lucidity in dreams has been put by the West is limited and relatively superficial compared to lucidity in dreams, dreamless sleep, daily life, and even death in the practices of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. As the Tibetan teacher Tendzin Wangyal puts it, “Dream practice is not just for personal growth or to generate interesting experiences. It is part of the spiritual path and its results should affect all aspects of life by changing the practitioner’s identity, and the relationship between the practitioner and the world.”2 What does that mean? How can it be accomplished? And what implications might these practices have for our psychology and for Western science more generally? In this chapter I will address such questions, first by discussing the Buddhist material, and then by examining the ways in which the effects of lucidity in Tibetan Buddhist practitioners challenge basic assumptions about bodies and minds in Western science.
