  • His Holiness the Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, to Visit University of Redlands in Rare U.S
    His Holiness the Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, to visit University of Redlands in rare U.S. tour March 18, 2015 The University of Redlands will welcome His Holiness the Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, to campus March 24, 2015, as the only Southern California stop on his third trip to the United States. Reigniting a years-long connection with the University and special bond with students, the Karmapa will interact with Redlands students, faculty, and alumni and accept an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree, presented by University President Ralph Kuncl. He will then offer a public lecture, "Living Interdependence," at 7 p.m. in Memorial Chapel. The Karmapa heads the 900-year-old Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism and guides millions of Buddhists around the world. At the age of 14, he made a dramatic escape from Tibet to India to be near His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his own lineage teachers. Currently 29 years old, the Karmapa is a leader of the new century. He created an eco- monastic movement with over 55 monasteries across the Himalayan region acting as centers of environmental activism. Leading on women's issues, he recently announced plans to establish full ordination for women, a step that will change the future of Tibetan Buddhism. His latest book, The Heart is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out, co-edited by University of Redlands Professor of Religious Studies and Virginia C. Hunsaker Distinguished Teaching Chair, Karen Derris, the Karmapa speaks to the younger generation on the major challenges facing society today, including gender issues, food justice, rampant consumerism and the environmental crisis.

  • Dharma Quotations
    Dharma Quotations 1. The Main Problem The three poisons are attachment, aggression, and ignorance. The chief of them is ignorance. The root of ignorance is the belief of an ego. --- Thrangu Rinpoche Commentary on the Chod Practice 2. Conduct Many people study and practice the dharma diligently, but they do not arrive at any positive result. Many lamas are unhappy that they have not been able to engender realization in their pupils; the pupils are also unhappy, thinking, “I haven’t been able to gain realization and experience hasn’t come in my mind.” The reason for this is that many lamas emphasize view and meditation but not conduct. The lamas hand this attitude on to their pupils, who also see view and meditation as important and conduct as not so important. There is the accumulation of wisdom and the accumulation of merit. The accumulation of wisdom is emphasized and given much attention while the accumulation of merit is regarded as insignificant. This is the reason why results are not achieved. We should keep the practice of physical good actions and good speech in mind from day to day and from month to month and not forget them throughout our life. We should practice good actions of the body, use good speech, and use our possessions in order to accumulate good actions. We should avoid negative actions with our body and speech and through our possessions. If we keep that in mind all the time and put it into practice, then we will gather the accumulation of merit. If it is possible to gather the accumulation of merit in this way, then it will be impossible not to achieve beneficial results arising from the accumulation of merit when it comes to meditation practice and learning about the view.

The meaning of the word tantra is “eternal stream of continuity”. According to tradition, the Kalachakra Tantra was taught by Buddha Shayamuni to King Suchandra of the mythical kingdom of Shambhala around 2,500 years ago, and its practice cultivated there ever since. Shambhala – also known as Shangrila – is a paradisiacal realm, a land of joy and purity, in which both worries and suffering are unknown. Some sources view Shambhala as a land existing purely in the dimension of energy. The Kalachakra Tantra reached India from Shambhala around 1,000 years ago, before being transmitted to Tibet, where it continues to be practiced today.

Back to Exhibition Index Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava (Image) Thangka, painting Cotton support with opaque mineral pigments in waterbased (collagen) binder exterior 27.5 x 49.75 inches interior 23.5 x 34.25 inches Ca. 19th century Folk tradition Museum #: 93.011 By Ariana P. Maki 2 June, 1998 Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, Padmakara, or Tsokey Dorje, was the guru predicted by the Buddha Shakyamuni to bring the Buddhist Dharma to Tibet. In the land of Uddiyana, King Indrabhuti had undergone many trials, including the loss of his young son and a widespread famine in his kingdom. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara felt compassion for the king, and entreated the Buddha Amitabha, pictured directly above Padmasambhava, to help him. From his tongue, Amitabha emanated a light ray into the lake of Kosha, and a lotus grew, upon which sat an eight year old boy. The boy was taken into the kingdom of Uddiyana as the son of King Indrabhuti and named Padmasambhava, or Lotus Born One. Padmasambhava grew up to make realizations about the unsatisfactory nature of existence, which led to his renunciation of both kingdom and family in order to teach the Dharma to those entangled in samsara. Over the years, as he taught, other names were bestowed upon him in specific circumstances to represent his realization of a particular aspect of Buddhism. This thangka depicts Padmasambhava, in a form also called Tsokey Dorje, as a great guru and Buddha in the land of Tibet.

  • The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts
    The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts By Ramin Etesami A thesis submitted to the graduate school in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the International Buddhist College, Thailand March, 20 Abstract The Tulku institution is a unique characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism with a central role in this tradition, to the extent that it is present in almost every aspect of Tibet’s culture and tradition. However, despite this central role and the scope and diversity of the socio-religious aspects of the institution, only a few studies have so far been conducted to shed light on it. On the other hand, an aura of sacredness; distorted pictures projected by the media and film industries;political propaganda and misinformation; and tendencies to follow a pattern of cult behavior; have made the Tulku institution a highly controversial topic for research; and consequently, an objective study of the institution based on a critical approach is difficult. The current research is an attempt to comprehensively examine different dimensions of the Tulku tradition with an emphasis on the issue of its orthodoxy with respect to the core doctrines of Buddhism and the social implications of the practice. In this research, extreme caution has been practiced to firstly, avoid any kind of bias rooted in faith and belief; and secondly, to follow a scientific methodology in reviewing evidence and scriptures related to the research topic. Through a comprehensive study of historical accounts, core Buddhist texts and hagiographic literature, this study has found that while the basic Buddhist doctrines allow the possibility for a Buddhist teacher or an advanced practitioner to “return back to accomplish his tasks, the lack of any historical precedence which can be viewed as a typical example of the practice in early Buddhism makes the issue of its orthodoxy equivocal and relative.

In the Nyingma terma tradition, she is considered as one of the many forms of Padmasambhava, specifically a secret form of Guru Rinpoche manifested to avert spiritual obstacles and negativity. In the Sarma traditions she arises out of the Chakrasamvara cycle of tantras and belongs to the Highest Yoga Tantra 'wisdom' classification. The revelation of the root mantra for Lion-Faced Ḍākinī is also associated with the name of a famous translator and Sakya master, Bari Lotsawa (ba ri lo tsA) (aka Rinchen Drak (rin chen grags)) (1040-1111) — the second throne holder of Sakya school (Sakya Trizin). At the age of 63, he retained the seat of Sakya for a period of eight years (1102-1110). The great Sakya and Nyingma master, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo wrote a history of the lineage of Siṃhamukhā, which has been translated and published in English onlinei. According to that biography, Bari was shown how to reveal the mantra treasure directly by Lion-Faced Ḍākinī herself, in order to avert the black magic and sorcery of an Indian master.
