Fall 2019 Programs FALL 2019 PROGRAMS Meditation, Tibetan Yoga, and Well-being Nyingma Institute, 1815 Highland Place, Berkeley, CA 94709 A NOTE FROM THE DEANS August 8, 2019 Dear Friends, It is well known that the Buddha taught a universal love and compassion that had a profound effect on all who met him, but he was also modeling a revolutionary way of caring for our mind at the deepest level, in order to resolutely pursue and come to know reality. The path he opened did not lead to some other transcendent dimension free from suffering. Instead, he offers us the possibility of a journey straight into the heart of reality, into an unfailing operability of knowing, shining and pulsing within each present moment. September & Fall His proclamation of reality as the ultimate medicine of liberation remains as startling today as it was two and a half millennia ago. We stand, just like the Buddha’s first disciples, astonished at his invitation to en- 2019 Catalog ter reality as it is, and begin the ultimate journey that lies before all beings: to awaken from the dream of the self to a freedom that has no derivation, no point of reference in our limitations, and no reversibility. The “how” of how we get there has been taught by the Buddha as an exacting process of study, contemplation and meditation. Not merely cleansing and cultivating the intellect, this training aims TABLE OF CONTENTS at total embodiment of wisdom and compassion through a deep form of caring for the endlessly creative producers of experience — mind, body, speech, the sensory fields, and the subtle energies. We live in a culture and an age of self-improvement, where we are always trying to “fix” ourselves, September 4-week Classes . 4 - 5 and worship at the altar of the ever-elusive perfect version of ourselves. What would it mean to expand our imagination, to relinquish attachment to all “image”, and journey inward instead, into Fall 10-week Classes . 6 - 7 the depths of mind, where experience gets prepared, cooked, and consumed with the convincingly impenetrable feel of the “real”?

Lama Palzang and I, our faculty and our staff are here to support you, ready to share our own curiosity, joy, and experiences on the path as we hold the space for your own discovery. Please know that when you step into the Institute as a student, you enter a place that is connected to an authentic lineage of enlightenment. This lineage does not seek worldly power or many followers. It exists in order to keep alive the sublime pathways to the heart of what it means to be human. Its treasures are available today because its masters were passionate lovers of knowledge, tena- cious practitioners of merit, and deeply devoted servants of universal awakening. Together, we can follow in their footsteps. Together, we can do our best to cultivate the same passion, tenacity, and devotion on our own journey.

  • Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas
    Sean Feit Oakes, PhD | SeanFeitOakes.com | 2017 Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas Sean Feit Oakes, PhD One of the many ways Insight Meditation (IM) has evolved away from its roots in Southeast Asian Theravāda Buddhism is in its embrace of yoga as a valuable adjunct to the vipassanā that forms the heart of its practice system. The yoga most common in the West, known by some scholars as “Modern Postural Yoga” (MPY) to highlight both its physical emphasis and its recent provenance, is a substantial part of the practice regimen of many IM practitioners, but holds an ambiguous role in the formal system of IM practice.1 Yoga, most often in a gentle style of posture (āsana) practice, is offered both in classes and via dedicated space for practice, at many IM centers, but is rarely spoken of in dharma talks, included in the progression of instructions that forms the basis of retreat practice, or included in the collection of primarily Buddhist doctrines that are emphasized and repeated. The reasons for this ambiguity are historical and doctrinal, reflecting the cultural identity of modern practitioners as much as the imagined historical separation of the traditions. Materials from historically more distant traditions, after all, like poems from Rumi, Mary Oliver, or T.S. Eliot, bring Muslim and Christian influences into the room, but are commonly used. Another commonly used source, Japanese Zen, while seemingly related to Theravāda by its Buddhist-ness, is historically and in some ways doctrinally just as distant from Theravāda as most forms of modern Hinduism.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is almost exactly one hundred years since the popular and not merely academic dissemination of Buddhism in the West began. During this time a dialogue has grown up between Buddhism and the Western discipline of psychotherapy. It is the contention of this work that Buddhist philosophy and praxis have much to offer a contemporary psychotherapy. Firstly, in general, for its long history of the experiential exploration of mind and for the practices of cultivation based thereon, and secondly, more specifically, for the relevance and resonance of specific Buddhist doctrines to contemporary problematics. Thus, this work attempts, on the basis of a three-way conversation between Buddhism, psychotherapy and various themes from contemporary discourse, to suggest a psychotherapy that may be helpful and relevant to the current horizons of thought and contemporary psychopathologies which are substantially different from those prevalent at the time of psychotherapy's early years.

  • "Living Without Regret and Introduction to Kum Nye"
    "Living Without Regret and introduction to Kum Nye" with Arnaud Maitland - senior instructor of Kum Nye and direct student of Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku Human Experience in Light of Tibetan Buddhism. It is never too late to heal the past. We can own and transform even the most difficult life situations, including death and our own seemingly fatal mistakes. Sharing the painful decline and death of his mother held within the backdrop of timeless teachings, Arnaud Maitland shows us how to deal with life´s constantly recurring uncertainty and confusion. Living Without Regret brings ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism into the mainstream of Western culture, invites us to face with openness and confidence the inevitable challenges and losses in life. We can pursue our highest aspirations and live a life that now, and in retrospect, is worth living. Kum Nye (Tibetan Yoga) is a form of Tibetan healing system introduced into the West by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan lama and refugee. Tarthang Rinpoche specifically adapted this form of yoga to relieve the stress and tension of the modern lifestyle. Its postures and movements, meditation, as well as its self-massage and breathing practices relax the body, calm the breath and still the mind. Through Kum Nye, we are able to release blockages in our bodies where energy doesn't flow in certain places easily.

  • Nyingma Institute Publication Date: 1-15-2017
    School Catalog Nyingma Institute Publication Date: 1-15-2017 MISSION The mission of the Nyingma Institute is to promote, foster, encourage, teach, and disseminate the Tibetan Nyingma traditions of Buddhism and to make those teachings available to the West in forms appropriate to the contemporary world. The objective of the educational services of the Nyingma Institute is to provide non-degree academic programs in the following areas: Nyingma Meditation, Kum Nye (Tibetan Yoga), Nyingma Psychology, Nyingma Studies, and Buddhist Studies. The students for whom these services are intended are individuals who wish to obtain a thorough understanding of Tibetan Buddhist studies as well as those who wish to prepare themselves to participate more fully and effectively as members of the Nyingma community. The expected outcome for graduates of Nyingma programs is the deepening of understanding of Tibetan Buddhist teachings. In addition, some graduates may be prepared to participate more fully and effectively as members of the Nyingma community. SCHOOL HISTORY Over many centuries, Tibetan Nyingma masters have awakened the full potential of human consciousness through meditation, study, and work. In 1969, Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku brought the Nyingma tradition to the United States where it has become a catalyst for positive change. In 1972, Tarthang Tulku founded the Nyingma Institute to bring the unique Nyingma teachings and practices to life. Since that time, thousands of students have studied and learned to meditate here. APPROVAL TO OPERATE The Nyingma Institute is a private institution approved to operate by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. Approval to operate means that this institution is compliant with the minimum standards contained in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (as amended) and Division 7.5 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations.
