Not Biting the Hook
13/03/2017 Duración: 01h27minWorking with Shenpa. In English, shenpa is generally translated as "attachment." But, some words, such as "shenpa" convey many dimensions which cannot be covered by a single term. Rather, shenpa is a pervasive discomfort; it is the underlying sense of “I, me and mine” and all the wants, needs, aversions, hopes, and fears that come out of that. So, shenpa will be found in our attachments and aversions, our stupidity, pride and jealousies. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

Impermanence is good news
16/02/2017 Duración: 01h06minWe suffer because we want life to be different from what it is. We suffer because we try to make pleasurable what is painful, to make solid what is fluid, to make permanent what is always changing. We try to make ourselves into something real and unchanging when our fundamental state of being is unconditionally open and ungraspable.

New Year Retreat Part 4
04/01/2017 Duración: 37minThe whole point of meditation or prayer or whatever we are trying to do is to discover the fundamental principle of human nature, to go into this deep nature, to touch our mind, the fundamental principle of totality, nonduality. The moment we reach this experience there is no room for heavy concepts, heavy emotions or sentimentality. Just be! At the moment of this experience, there are no concepts labeled by the dualistic mind. At such a time there is no Buddha, no God, no heaven or hell. Just being—the great peace, the great satisfaction. -Lama Yeshe

New Year Retreat - Meditation On Selflessness
31/12/2016 Duración: 17minAll Buddhist traditions consider it important to understand the selflessness of the individual in order to gain liberation from suffering. The reason for this is that all suffering comes from believing the self is truly existent. This results in taking the self and everything that affects it very seriously, and we become fixated on pursuing happiness and avoiding suffering. But in fact, the self does not exist in a separate, solid, independent way. It is made up through the mental process of selfing, like the self that appears in a dream.

New Year Retreat - Deconstruction Of The I-Thought
31/12/2016 Duración: 22minIf we check within ourselves we will discover that all our misery comes from either attachment or hatred. These, in turn, come from an incorrect view of the self. Even at this moment we hold the “I” to be true. In the Madhyamakavatara, Chandrakirti stated that all emotional afflictions arise from ignorance—misapprehension of the nature of the self. This is the root. In order to get rid of all the branches of suffering and prevent them from ever arising again, we need to sever this root.

New Year Retreat Part 3
30/12/2016 Duración: 24minWe usually think of our mind as just thoughts and emotions, but according to the teachings of Buddha, these make up only one aspect of the mind. The teachings tell us that the mind has two aspects: the appearance of mind, and, more important, the essence or nature of mind. The appearances of mind are like the rays of light streaming from the sun, while the very nature of mind is like the sun itself in all its glory. The teachings tell us, rather than trying to understand each thought and emotion that arises in our mind, instead we should try to understand the nature of mind itself. When we understand the nature of mind, it is one-medicine for all ills. By knowing one thing we come to know all.

New Year Retreat Part 2
29/12/2016 Duración: 53minNo matter what kind of consciousness we might consider, the clear light of innermost awareness pervades it. Ice, even when it is solid and very hard, does not pass beyond the nature of water. In the same way, no matter how gross, tough, or coarse conceptions might be, the place from which they dawn and the place into which they vanish when we no longer think about them does not pass beyond innermost awareness. -His Holiness the Dalai Lama

New Year Retreat Part 1 - First Instructions
29/12/2016 Duración: 20minI have great interest in the statement by many wise persons in all the orders of Tibetan Buddhism that their systems come down to the same final principle, and I feel that this is what I should and must explain. Such an exploration may be controversial, but in any case, these great scholar–yogis say that all these systems come down to the same final basic insight, the same principle, because there is indeed a final basic experience on which they all alight. There is no way they would say this just to be polite. Once there must be such a place of coming together, what is it? His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Committing to our Anxiety
22/12/2016 Duración: 01h22minCommitting to our anxiety is the difficult work of training ourselves not to try to escape our anxious feelings. It even means to appreciate them, feel them, and see for ourselves whether they are as much of a problem as we think they will be. If anxiety is not a problem and if we understand that it's actually an essential part of our path of waking up, then we might want to practice this attitude of commitment. - Bruce Tift

Transforming Anxiety
07/12/2016 Duración: 01h27minAnxiety is a necessary part of our path. As we move in the direction of waking up, increasing our tolerance of more and more awareness or open mind, we will inevitably experience anxiety. At some point or another, anybody committed to the spiritual path may find it important to commit to the experience of anxiety as an approximation of an open state of mind. - Bruce Tift
