PROGRAMM NOVEMBER 2018 – APRIL 2019 www.kamalashila.de Liebe Freunde, liebe Förderer, liebe „Wir können nicht untätig dasitzen und bloß darauf warten, dass die Zeit unser Leben umkrempelt. Wir müssen in uns selbst hineinschauen und Gäste des Kamalashila Instituts, die Veränderungen finden, die wir sehen wollen. Dann sind wir es, die diese Veränderungen herbeirufen und Verantwortung dafür übernehmen viele von uns empfinden die gegenwärtige Situation in der Welt als müssen, uns zu verwandeln. Was ist es hauptsächlich, was sich ändern eine Zeit, in der Sicherheit gebende Gemeinschaften schwächer muss? Es ist unsere Art zu denken und unsere Motivation. Wenn wir werden, alte Bündnisse auseinanderbrechen und neue Bündnisse beides verändern können, dann werden wir unserem Leben einen großen zunehmend von egoistischen Interessen bestimmt sind. Angesichts Ruck geben können.” der immer schärferen Töne einer immer schneller und aufgeregter S.H. der XVII. Karmapa werdenden Kommunikation erscheint die Praxis respektvoller Ver- ständigung und Diplomatie inzwischen fast schon als unzeitgemäß. Stattdessen werden Konfrontation und Abgrenzung als scheinbar ein- fache Antworten auf immer komplexer werdende Fragen angeboten. Doch etwas hat sich nicht geändert und wird sich wohl nie ändern: Allen Wesen ist gemeinsam, dass sie sich wünschen glücklich zu sein und Leid zu vermeiden. Und: Wir alle sind Teil des Weltgeschehens; wir sind aufgrund des Mechanismus von Ursache und Wirkung un- trennbar mit anderen verbunden. Deshalb brauchen und sollten wir unsere Fähigkeit, den Lauf der Dinge positiv zu beeinflussen, nicht unterschätzen. Der Gedanke des Mitgefühls als buddhistische Grundhaltung be- stimmt seit jeher die Programmgestaltung des Kamalashila Instituts, doch in unsicheren und tumultreichen Zeiten erhält er nochmals eine besondere Dringlichkeit. Unsere laufenden Kursreihen zu Acht- samkeit und (Selbst-) Mitgefühl sprechen da für sich. Das erfolgreich angelaufene Intensivstudium befasst sich ausführlich mit Werken wie Gampopas Juwelenschmuck der Befreiung, in dem der stufen- weise mitfühlende Pfad der Bodhisattvas bis hin zur Buddhaschaft beschrieben wird. Langjährige Kursreihen unserer Resident-Lamas, etwa Shantidevas Bodhicaryavatara (Seite 33), werden im nächsten Jahr durch Zusatzangebote zur Mahayanapraxis, wie Tonglen (Seite 17) und den sechs Paramitas (Seite 40), ergänzt. Ganz außerordentlich freuen wir uns, dass wir im kommenden Früh- ling sowohl I.E. Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche (Seite 23) als auch S.E. Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche bei uns begrüßen dürfen, der zwei Wochen am Kamalashila Institut lehren wird (Seite 26 und 27)! Nicht zuletzt werden auch neue Gesichter im Team des Kamalashila Instituts zu sehen sein, während bekannte Gesichter sich von uns verabschieden: So hat uns unsere geschätzte Hausübersetzerin Dr. Judith Debbeler im August 2018 verlassen, um eine Lehrtätigkeit am Rangjung Yeshe Institute an der Kathmandu Universität anzunehmen. Wir wünschen ihr alles Gute auf ihrem neuen Weg und danken ihr von ganzem Herzen für ihr großes Engagement in den letzten Jahren! Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen im Kamalashila Institut! Euer Kamalashila Team Unsere Kurse sind folgenden Themenbereichen zugeordnet und entsprechend in diesem Heft aufgeführt: BUDDHISTISCHE PRAXIS (ab Seite 13) Dieser Rubrik sind alle Kurse mit einem Schwerpunkt auf die buddhis- tische Praxis zugeordnet. Das sind in erster Linie die verschiedenen Formen der Meditation wie Shamatha, Vipashyana, Mahamudra und Dzogchen, aber auch traditionelle Meditationsrituale des Tibetischen Buddhismus (wie das Ngöndro oder Pujas, bei denen es u. a. um den genauen Ablauf der Rituale und die Handhabung von Ritualgegen- ständen und Musikinstrumenten geht). BUDDHISTISCHE PHILOSOPHIE (ab Seite 33) Bei Kursen dieser Rubrik liegt der Schwerpunkt auf buddhistischer Philosophie und Sichtweisen (den sogenannten Sutras und Tantras). Hier findet man sowohl Grundlagenkurse (beispielsweise zu den Vorstellungen von Leerheit, Karma etc.) als auch vertiefende, modulare Studienprogramme zu tibetisch-buddhistischen Lehren. LEBEN UND STERBEN (ab Seite 35) Angebote der Rubrik Leben und Sterben geben konkrete Hilfestellungen und Einsichten für das Leben im Alltag – in der Familie, in der Gemein- schaft, im Beruf und in der Gesellschaft. Sie geben Antworten auf Fragen rund um die eigene Sterblichkeit, das Sterben und den Tod von Freunden und Angehörigen, zu Sterbebegleitung / Spiritual Care. ACHTSAMKEIT UND (SELBST-) MITGEFÜHL (ab S. 45) Achtsamkeit und Selbstmitgefühl sind weit mehr als moderne Methoden für den Umgang mit Stress, Überforderung und Krisenerfahrungen. Sie sind Kernbestandteil aller buddhistischen Formen der Meditation. Kurse dieser Rubrik bieten – neben Angeboten zur Stressbewältigung und zur Schulung von Achtsamkeit und (Selbst-) Mitgefühl – den voll- ständigen Praxispfad zur Freiheit des Geistes wie ihn schon Buddha lehrte, in einer verständlichen, lebensnahen und modernen Form. GESUNDHEIT UND HEILUNG (ab Seite 49) Kurse dieser Rubrik befassen sich mit unterschiedlichsten Aspekten körperlicher, seelischer und emotionaler Gesundheit und Heilung: zum Beispiel durch Angebote zu Buddhismus und Psychologie, Burn- outprophylaxe, Entspannung, dem Umgang mit körperlicher und seelischer Krankheit, zur Traditionellen Tibetischen Medizin, asiatischer Kampfkunst und tibetischem oder klassischem indischen Yoga. GEMEINSCHAFT (ab Seite 57) Die Sonderkategorie Gemeinschaft besteht aus allen Kursen und Aktivitäten, die sich direkt an die Kamalashila-Sangha bzw. die Freunde des Kamalashila Instituts wenden. Sie sind eine Plattform für Wachs- tum, Netzwerk-Bildung und Austausch der Sangha untereinander. Das Lotussymbol kennzeichnet Kurse, die auch für Neu- einsteiger ohne jegliche Vorkenntnisse in buddhistischer Praxis geeignet sind. 4 | PROGRAMM KAMALASHILA INSTITUT NOVEMBER 2018 BIS APRIL 2019 PROGRAMM KAMALASHILA INSTITUT NOVEMBER 2018 BIS APRIL 2019 | 5 VERANSTALTUNGSÜBERSICHT | NOVEMBER 2018 BIS APRIL 2019 VERANSTALTUNGSÜBERSICHT | NOVEMBER 2018 BIS APRIL 2019 NOVEMBER 2018 27.12. – 12.3 NEUJAHRSRETREAT 16 01.01.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/70g9147s ISBN 9781440829475 Author ROSCH, E Publication Date 2014 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California In R. 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.

    The Biographies of Rechungpa: the Evolution of a Tibetan Hagiography/ Peter Alan Roberts, P

    THE BIOGRAPHIES OF RECHUNGPA This book traces the lifestory of Rechungpa (1084–1161)—the student of the famous teacher Milarepa—using rare and little-known manuscripts, and discovers how the image of both Milarepa and Rechungpa underwent fundamental transformations over a period of over three centuries. The author compares significant episodes in the life of Rechungpa as portrayed in a succession of texts and thus demonstrates the evolution of Rechungpa’s biography. This is the first survey of the surviving literature which includes a detailed analysis of their dates, authorship and interrelationships. It shows how Rechungpa was increasingly portrayed as a rebellious, volatile and difficult pupil, as a lineage from a fellow-pupil prospered to become dominant in Tibet. Peter Alan Roberts is a writer, translator and interpreter. He was born in South Wales, received his doctorate in Tibetan Studies at the University of Oxford, and worked as a Tibetan translator at Samye Ling Centre in Scotland. He presently lives in Hollywood, California. ROUTLEDGE CRITICAL STUDIES IN BUDDHISM General Editors Charles S.Prebish and Damien Keown Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism is a comprehensive study of the Buddhist tradition. The series explores this complex and extensive tradition from a variety of perspectives, using a range of different methodologies. The Series is diverse in its focus, including historical studies, textual translations and commentaries, sociological investigations, bibliographic studies, and considerations of religious practice as an expression of Buddhism’s integral religiosity. It also presents materials on modern intellectual historical studies, including the role of Buddhist thought and scholarship in a contemporary, critical context and in the light of current social issues.

In all the six philosophies, four Vedas, one hundred and eight Upanishads, eighteen Puranas and two epics, nowhere is it written that a female cannot wear the sacred thread.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati Bhakti Yoga Sagar, p. 25 “Women, by and large, have more viveka or discrimination than men, not only in India but also in the West and everywhere in the world. They can discriminate between right and wrong, true and false, between dharma and adharma . It is due to their influence that dharma is still in existence.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati Yoga, May 1999, p.

    Tibetan and Zen Buddhism in Britain

    TIBETAN AND ZEN BUDDHISM IN BRITAIN This book analyses the transplantation, development and adaptation of the two largest Tibetan and Zen Buddhist organisations currently active on the British religious landscape: the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) and the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives (OBC). The key contributions of recent scholarship are evaluated and organised thematically to provide a framework for analysis, and the history and current landscape of contemporary Tibetan and Zen Buddhist practice in Britain are also mapped out. A number of patterns and processes identified elsewhere are exemplified, although certain assumptions made about the nature of ‘British Buddhism’ are subjected to critical scrutiny and challenged. David N. Kay has lectured on and conducted doctoral research into the devel- opment and adaptation of Tibetan and Zen forms of Buddhism in Britain at St Martin’s College, Lancaster.

    "Stanzas of Dzyan" Indeed Come from the Mahatmas, but I Also Think That Investigation with No Prejudices Is Good

    Comment by Ferran Sanz Orriols on September 21, 2010 at 6:20am I think that the "Stanzas of Dzyan" indeed come from the Mahatmas, but I also think that investigation with no prejudices is good. In Alice A. Bailey's books some of these Stanzas can also be found. (I think that Alice A. Bailey's work was the next step of Mahatma's teaching to the modern world.) Best wishes to all investigators!!! Comment by Alistair Coombs on September 21, 2010 at 9:52am It's the oldest book in the world - and HPB wrote it. Comment by Joe Fulton on September 21, 2010 at 1:17pm Excellent! I'm curious if the Stanzas were published anywhere without Comment ary? Paul and I discussed sending plain vanilla copies of the Stanzas out to various religious scholars to see what texts the writings correspond to, if any. The example that you just gave, Paul, is a good example of the type of thing that we're looking for. Joe Comment by Joe Fulton on September 21, 2010 at 3:18pm What traditions do you think we should be pinging on this? Comment by Joe Fulton on September 21, 2010 at 11:42pm I have attached the Stanzas of Dzyan, without Comment ary, in a discussion HERE. The download is at the bottom of the box. There is no Comment available on the discussion. There is a link which leads back to this blog posting.

    A Classical Introduction The Three Major Phases of the Buddha’s Teaching Immediately after attaining enlightenment, Buddha Sakyamuni did not rush to tell people about it but kept silent, in meditation. This was in itself a great teaching, showing that he had realised something far too deep and extensive for mere words to express. He remained in silence until the deva i requested him to teach and thereby launch the world into a major cycle of truth and awakening. According to the Buddha,ii this cycle will last for some five thousand years. At present, we find ourselves living at a truly pivotal time for the planet, just over halfway through this period, in the sixth of its ten 500-year phases. Despite the effort it takes to maintain pure ethics in this age, it is still possible to follow the Buddha's teachings and to realise for oneself what he had realised. By first remaining silent, the Buddha also established an ethic. A Buddhist should not proselytise but only respond, as a friend, when requested for help and advice. This is not only an ethical position but also sound sense, since even the wisest of counsel is only of benefit when it falls on ears that want to hear. When the listener’s mind is ripe and ready, receptive and respectful, he or she will relate to the teaching not as something imposed from the outside but as something really sought for, from within, at that particular time. The Buddha went on to teach for some forty-five years, addressing a remarkable variety of audiences.
