Karma, 18 July 2021, Los Angeles, USA - Part 1

Karma is a topic that has been widely discussed and widely misunderstood. On one level, the law of cause and effect seems very logical, but as we examine the complexities of causes and conditions, the concept of karma becomes really deep and vast. Karma is often characterised as good or bad: vague and subjective concepts. In fact, karma operates on a relative not an absolute level, and ultimately is an extremely powerful illusion. Our aim is not to collect good karma and avoid bad karma but to free ourselves and others from the illusion of karma altogether.

“In order to destroy these appearances that lack truth, we make use of an appearance that lacks grasping.” – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

In this teaching, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche explains how by using the five elements of tantric practice – substance, deity, meditative concentration, mantra, and mudra – gaining understanding of the magical apparitions of wisdom leads us to the realization of our ultimate nature. How the world appears, though seemingly real from the point of view of sentient beings, is not real from the point of view of omniscient wisdom. “In order to destroy these appearances that lack truth, we make use of an appearance that lacks grasping.”

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche teaches on the feminine principle in Vajrayana Buddhism with a focus on the Dakini, or Khandro. Rinpoche tells stories of extraordinary human Khandros, such as Yeshe Tsogyal, Dresi Khandro, who came from his father’s region in Amdo, Tromge Dawa Drolma (Chagdud Rinpoche's Ma-Yum), Sera Khandro, Shuksep Jetsun Rinpoche of Gangri Tokar, Machik Labdron, and others. Rinpoche also tells stories about practitioners who receive the blessings of Khandros such as Vajrayogini, and how meditating upon the Dakini brings swift blessings and the rapid attainment of siddhis.

Oral interpretation by Anne Klein, PhD (Lama Rigzin Drolma).

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche teaches on the practice of Guru Yoga and the Seven Line Prayer in the Vajrayana. Open Secret Bookstore, San Rafael, California, January 26, 2009. 

Rinpoche says, "The point of guru yoga is to train in merging our mind with our lama's wisdom mind and to have those qualities of wisdom and compassion that we glimpse within our lama's mind inhabit our own mind." In these Open Secret teachings, Rinpoche guides us in using guru yoga meditation on Guru Rinpoche to awaken the uncontrived, uncontaminated, primordial state of enlightenment that is our own natural, indwelling, primordial state of being.
