  • Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Training in Tenderness Week One: “Accessing Our Innate Tender Heart” August 6, 2018
    Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Training in Tenderness Week One: “Accessing Our Innate Tender Heart” August 6, 2018 Good morning everybody. This video series is going to be on tsewa [tenderness of heart] and ​ ​ there will be four talks. This talk is about how we all have an innate tender heart and how we can access it. That tender heart is the source of all happiness in our human society. Even in the animal realm, animals are still joined together by their relations, by the structure of the animal family life. You can see this with elephants or any other species of animals. First, I wanted to give a little bit of background. All human beings wish to be happy and we are always trying to cultivate the means to be happy. We all wish to be free from suffering, and we are always trying to get rid of the conditions of suffering. That binds us all as one human race and makes our lives very much equal. In that sense, we all have a tenderness towards ourselves and our loved ones. There is a sense of something underneath or beyond all of the external conditions of who we are and how we are brought up—what culture we belong to, what race we are, whether we have the means of happiness and wealth, or any other status. Inside we are identical, and when we not only believe that but really feel it in our heart towards other living beings, that opens up our heart to others. However, there isn't always an aspiration in one's own mind to be happy and to cultivate the conditions of happiness.

  • Miscellaneous Great Quotes
    Miscellaneous Great Quotes: Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche used to say, "Samsara is mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections; nirvana is mind turned inwardly, recognizing its nature." "Any attempt to capture the direct experience of the nature of mind in words is impossible. The best that can be said is that it is immeasurably peaceful and, once stabilized through repeated experience, virtually unshakable. It's an experience of absolute well-being that radiates through all physical, emotional and mental states - even those that might ordinarily be labeled as unpleasant." Mingyur Rinpoche “Pain and pleasure go together; they are inseparable. They can be celebrated. They are ordinary. Birth is painful and delightful. Death is painful and delightful. Everything that ends is also the beginning of something else. Pain is not a punishment; pleasure is not a reward." -Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart We don’t need to look outside of the present moment to find inner peace and contentment; when experienced with awareness, everything becomes of a source of joy.” Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche Meditation is about learning to recognize our basic goodness in the immediacy of the present moment, and then nurturing this recognition until it seeps into the very core of our being.” — Mingyur Rinpoche The only source of every kind of benefit for others is awareness of our own condition. When we know how to help ourselves, and how to work with our own situation…our feelings of compassion arise spontaneously, without the need to hold ourselves to the rules of behavior of any religious doctrine. ------- Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche The more that we’re at ease, the more we’re willing to open up a bit.

  • Biography of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
    Dharma Dhrishti — Spring 2009 Biography of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche .E. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche was born in 1964 in Northern India as the son of the 3rd Neten Chokling Rinpoche, recognized as the emanation of Jamgon H Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, the great master and scholar who was very active in establishing the Rime movement. From early age, Rinpoche studied with his root guru H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Rinpoche was trained in the Longchen Nyingthig lineage as well as in the threefold lineage of Khyen Kong Chok sum (the lineages of Jamgon Kongtrul, Khyentse Wangpo and Chokgyur Lingpa). Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche also studied extensively under Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and the great scholar Khenpo Rinchen. In the year 1989, H.E. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche moved to the United States with his family and in 1990 he began a five‐year tenure as a professor of Buddhist philosophy at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. In the United States Rinpoche established the Mangala Shri Bhuti organization dedicated to further the practice of the Longchen Nyingthig and Khyen Kong Chok sum lineages. Rinpoche also established a mountain retreat center Longchen Jigme Samten Ling in Southern Colorado, where he spends much of his time in retreat. When not in retreat, Rinpoche travels widely throughout the world teaching and leading retreats. Rinpoche currently presides and oversees the activities of Mangala Shri Bhutiʹs three practice and study centres (Phuntsok Choling in Boulder, Colorado, Pema Osel Do Ngak Choling in Vershire, Vermont, and the Guna Institute in Bir, India), and two retreat centres (Longchen Jigme Samten Ling in Creston Colorado and Guna Norling in Salvador da Bahia in Brazil).

  • Belongingness—Finding Refuge Handout and Reflection
    Belongingness—Finding Refuge Handout and Reflection How can we take refuge and find a sense of complete and never-failing security and com- fort? For most people with trauma and attachment issues they’ve never had this sense of “never-failing security and comfort.” Part of the task of the Becoming Safely Embodied skills are to develop this felt sense of inner safety that allows us safe haven over the course of your life, through the ups and downs, giving us a way to put all things in perspective. To do this, though, we need to know our motivations for embarking on this journey and we need to know where we belong. In Buddhism we talk about “finding refuge in the Three Jewels:” in the Buddha (the teach- er who reached states of enlightenment), in the Dharma (teachings), and in the Sangha (community). The Buddhist teacher, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche tells us that “having the three jewels constantly with us in our mind means the mind is always at peace.” For our explora- tion in the BSE Course I will be using this as a template. Exemplars Who is a model of being that you trust? It could be a spiritual person, it could be a family member, it could be someone who holds the qualities of being in which you can feel safe. We call people like this “Exemplars.” They embody qualities and ways of being that pull forth those qualities out of you. Γ What spiritual people have you heard of or known that pull forth a greater sense of who you are? Γ Are there any historical figures that exemplify qualities that you would like to emulate? Γ Were there members of your family that knew instinctively how to live true to themselves? © Copyright 2012 Deirdre Fay.

  • Chokling Tersar Times Spring 2008 Issue #11 Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche Remembers the Early Days in America
    10th Anniversary of Gomde Issue Chokling Tersar Times Spring 2008 Issue #11 Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche Remembers the Early Days in America remember my father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche telling me it I would be very good to have a center in America. I had been to America once with him before, in 1981. By my next visit 14 years later in 1995, many people among our American sangha were already saying, “Let’s search for land.” That year and in 1997 I was mainly giving small teachings at private residences, like the home of Brigid Ryan’s sister Micki and her husband Geary Coats in Carmel. While I was there, we started looking through real estate ads, and went to check out a few places in the area of Big Sur. The problem was, the places we went to look at were so expensive—one was by the ocean, and its buildings even had copper roofs. Another place was actually at Lama Tsultrim Sangpo on the Sangha House deck, Summer 2007 a hot springs. Not only were they very pricy, they were also difficult to get to. So then we went back to the researching. Eventually, Scott and Onju Updegrave took charge of the search, looking every place they could: every real estate ad and bulletin board notice they saw. Gomde Turns Ten! On my trip to America in 1997, Onju showed me a stack of places we Like bubbles, like a dream, like a mirage, like a magician’s should consider. Among them was a printout of a description of the illusion—this is how the Buddha has taught us to view all place in Leggett.
