Phowa Practice from Atri Dzogchen Retreat with Choekhortshang Rinpoche Orte (Italy) November 1 to 3, 2019 Phowa Practice From Atri Dzogchen Retreat with Choekhortshang Rinpoche Orte (Italy) November 1 to 3, 2019 Lungtok Ling Association (www.lungtokling.org) organizes a three days residential retreat with the Bonpo Master Nyima Woser Choekhortshang Rinpoche on Phowa Practice. This is a meditation practice belonging to the Tibetan Bon and Buddhist traditions, consisting in the transfer of the individual consciousness at the moment of one’s death. Obtaining knowledge on the process of dying and regular Phowa practice serve to prepare us for the process of passing away. A good practitioner may have no fear of death since one knows what is going to happen and is well-prepared for that. The practice of Phowa allows us to consciously manage the mind at the moment of one’s own death which helps us to make the best out of this process and achieve spiritual realization. In this retreat, Choekhortshang Rinpoche, will transmit the teaching of Phowa according to the Atri Dzogchen tradition, which is one of the most important spiritual lineages of Bon, a complete system designed to guide the practitioner to the realization of A (symbolizing the primordial state) in fifteen sessions of practice. The text of the fifteenth session of Atri includes instructions on consciousness transference to be practiced at the time of death. The instructions say that if the practitioner fails to achieve Buddhahood in this life using the instructions of the fourteen sessions of the Atri system, then one can use the instructions of the fifteenth session to reach enlightenment during the dying process. The retreat is open to both advanced practitioners and beginners. It is not consented to attend only part of the retreat. During the retreat, Choekhortshang Rinpoche will alternate theoretical explanations with frequent practice sessions. Choekhortshang Rinpoche is a Lama of the Bon tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. 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. This is the main site of the Bon tradition, where its spiritual head resides, His Holiness Menri Trizin. There he received a basic and modern education at school. In 1992, when he was 16, he took his monastic vows and started studying the traditional subjects such as philosophy, astronomy, astrology, Tibetan history and literature, Tibetan traditional Medicine, healing rituals and meditations. After 16 years, in 2008, he has obtained his Geshe degree, and since then he has been engaged in intense academic activities, both at the monasteries and at prestigious European Universities as Leiden, Oxford and Charles. Since 2009 he resides in Prague and teaches Tibetan Language and Culture at Charles University. Over the years, he has been teaching the spiritual practices of Bon in many European countries such as; Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania. In 2015, he was officially enthroned at Menri monastery and entitled Rinpoche by HH Menri Trizin 33rd. In 2017 he completed his PhD at Charles. ************************************************************************************* *********************** The retreat will take place at 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.

  • Bioregional Approach to Integrating Transport Networks and Natural Areas in the Lazio Region Coastal Area, Italy
    Coastal Cities and their Sustainable Future III 95 BIOREGIONAL APPROACH TO INTEGRATING TRANSPORT NETWORKS AND NATURAL AREAS IN THE LAZIO REGION COASTAL AREA, ITALY ALBERTO BUDONI & VALERIO MAZZESCHI La Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ABSTRACT “Bioregion”, a term coined by Peter Berg in 1977, was improved by Alberto Magnaghi, who defined it as the space for developing new relationships of coexistence between the inhabitants–producers and the territory of a region. Therefore, bioregion is a tool for rethinking regional planning, no longer as the sum of different sectorial planning exercises, but as a “transdisciplinary planning” approach that considers all of a territory’s aspects. This approach is related to EU policies for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and the protection of maritime and coastal areas. This paper presents a case study on the coastal areas of the Lazio region of Italy which have a great many natural areas but which is also one of the most anthropized areas in the region. Indeed, due to the rising population, many interventions in the coastal areas resulted in the transformation of natural zones into urban areas. One effect has been urban sprawl and the related lack of capillarity of the public transport network. The result was that many ecosystems and natural areas were fragmented, losing their biodiversity. With a view to reconnecting these fragmented areas, this paper discusses a new regional scenario based on enhancing the linkages between land transport networks and the maritime gateway. In this scenario, railway corridors would stimulate a new organisation for the region’s settlements by representing not only the network connecting the bioregion’s cities and towns but also the cornerstones for the environmental regeneration of the coastal areas.

  • Transport Megaprojects in Italy. a Comparative Analysis of Economic Feasibility Studies Into Eias

A comparative analysis of economic feasibility studies into EIAs. Paolo Beria 1∗ 1 Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy Abstract The paper presents a survey conducted on the environmental impact assessments and the feasibility studies for fifteen selected infrastructural transport projects all over the Italian territory and approved under the so called “Objective Law”. The survey collects data concerning the demand forecasts, the definition of alternatives and the cost benefit analysis, with their level of detail. The aim of such work is to derive some general considerations about the quality, the transparency and the contents of the assessment, in the context of the Italian normative framework. For the analysed projects, it is possible to recognise a lack of contemplation to the definition and in the construction of the demand forecast model, the use of extremely standardised schemes of comparison, the presence of double counting and some theoretical errors concerning costs evaluation. Moreover, the parallel analysis of different projects on the same study-area shows, in some cases, the absence of any co- ordination among projects, as well as different outputs from the transport demand forecast model; this creates problems in validating and comparing the results of each analysis. After an introduction to the normative framework, the adopted methodology is presented. After that, the paper – reflecting study objectives – includes first, an analysis of alternatives definition and tools used for the decision support system; second, the discussion and comparison of the demand forecasts quality; third, the approach used for the quantitative economic assessment.
