Kuntuzangpo Mönlam Eclipse Teaching

The Good Eon, 5 March 2022, Online - Part 1

This sutra was initiated by Shakyamuni Buddha, at the end of a retreat in Vaishali. Present were monks, bodhisattvas, ghosts, nagas and rakshas: an audience of many different types of beings. Among them was a bodhisattva called Supreme Joy, who posed 17 questions concerning how a bodhisattva can help all sentient beings. These questions lead us outside the limits of conventional thinking, to consider what it means to have genuine compassion for the multiplicity of sentient beings. This eon is good because more than 1,000 Buddhas and more than 84,000 ways of accessing the truth will appear.

The Good Eon, 5 March 2022, Online - Part 1

Nepal is a magical land with a very strong cultural connection to the Buddhadharma. Many stories are told about the activities of buddhas and bodhisattvas, and the landscape itself is highly symbolic: Kathmandu is said to be planned by Manjushri and its amazing crafts to be manifestations of his activity. Culture is so important, but all cultures hijack the Buddhadharma with their own interpretations of what is in essence so simple: awakening to the truth. We need to be mindful about culture, yet we need these symbols and legends to communicate about the Buddhadharma.

The Four Immeasurable Thoughts, May 13 - 14 2023, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Part 2

As modern people, our dukkha revolves around an overwhelming amount of freedom and choice, questions about the purpose of life, who am I, what am I, the insecurity of wanting to be recognized by others, alienation, disconnection, feeling trapped whilst at the same time wanting to belong, restlessness, over-stimulation... the list goes on.
Suffering from an identity crisis yet? Which identity, asks the Heart Sutra?

Prof. John Makransky's workshop was entitled : "We are Already Held in the Qualities We Seek: An Introduction to Innate Compassion Training."

Dr. Makransky will present the theory and practice of the Innate Compassion Training Model (ICT) that he has introduced to both Western Buddhists and to people in caring roles and professions. For Western Buddhists, these forms of practice can help energize and further inform their existing contemplative and ritual practices. Each session includes lecture, meditation exercises, and Q&A.

To generate inclusive and unconditional love and compassion and the wisdom that supports them, a secure base of trust and confidence in the source of those qualities is essential. In Buddhist traditions, such a base of trust is instilled in large part by devotional practices, where practitioners experience themselves and their world to be held by those who have actualized the same unconditioned compassion and wisdom that they themselves seek to realize, i.e., the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. This kind of practice comprises the “receptive mode” of ICT. This receptive mode of meditation can help strengthen the trust needed to settle more deeply into the source of compassion and wisdom found in the deep nature of our minds. Note that attendance at all four sessions is strongly encouraged, although participants may miss sessions if necessary.

John Makransky, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College, senior advisor for Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche’s Centre of Buddhist Studies at Rangjung Yeshe Institute, former president of the Society of Buddhist-Christian studies, and co-founder of the Foundation for Active Compassion and Courage of Care Coalition. For the past eleven years, in consultation with his Tibetan teachers, John has been teaching meditations of innate compassion and wisdom, adapted from Tibetan Buddhism for Western Dharma students and those in caring roles and professions. As part of this effort, John developed the Innate Compassion and Wisdom Training model (ICT) that he’ll explain in these lectures. He gave workshop to the students of RYI from 24 - 27th Sept. 2019

Prof. John Makransky - "We are Already Held in the Qualities We Seek" Day 1

Dedication “Protecting All Beings” (Toh 286) is a prayer of dedication that strongly resonates with the later Tibetan literature of mind training (blo sbyong). In addition to the classic element of dedication of merit to all beings, a substantial part of the text comprises a passage that enumerates the many faults, shortcomings, and afflictions that burden sentient beings, as well as the many possible attainments that they consequently may not have realized, and culminates in the wish that everything negative that would otherwise ripen for sentient beings may ripen instead for the reciter, so that all sentient beings would thus be liberated and purified.

This second episode in our Sūtras for Well-Being series focuses on two closely related, and recently published texts:
- The Dedication “Fulfilling All Aspirations” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh285.html) and 
- The Dedication “Protecting All Beings.” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh286.html)

And today, we are thrilled to share with you both Tibetan and English readings of these texts by two widely respected teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition: Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche (English) and Pema Wangyal Rinpoche (Tibetan).

Open the texts in our online Reading Room (https://84000.co/translations/reading-room/), and follow along with the audio in the station above!

Ep. 2.2 | Tibetan | "The Dedication: Protecting All Beings" recited by Pema Wangyal Rinpoche

Today we share with you a recording of Mayum Kunsang Dechen reciting the recently published, "Praise to Tārā with Twenty-One Verses of Homage," as well as one of Emily Avery Yoshiko Crow reading the text in English.  

For Tibetan Buddhists, "Praise to Tārā with Twenty-One Verses of Homage," [https://read.84000.co/translation/toh438.html] is undoubtedly the most popular prayer to the deity Tārā. It is recited on a daily basis by many monks, nuns, and lay practitioners.

As the pandemic continues, and environmental and social uncertainty rage around the world, we continue on with our Sūtras for Well-Being series to bring to you the texts traditionally recited for resilience and well-being in times of adversity, and the stories behind them.
