The Good Eon, 5 March 2022, Online

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.

Teachings given on March 8, 2013 by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen, a founding teacher, at Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute in Eugene, Oregon, USA on the subject "The Six Bardo's - The Intermediate States of Existence" 

“Bardo” is a Tibetan word meaning literally “between two,” which in Buddhism refers to the idea that within Samsara all states of existence are not static, but are actually continuous, successive, ordered facets of beginningless transition.  What we usually refer to as “life and death” are only two among the six bardos that are traditionally enumerated. 

Each Bardo has its own form of expression and development, and each presents beings with unique opportunities for the realization of enlightenment, or for advancement toward enlightenment, or conversely for decline into greater suffering.  Bardo teachings such as these are an important key to knowing where we are, which way to go, and  how to proceed.

Buddha Dharma: An Indian Heritage

Among all the contributions of Indian culture, the Buddha Dharma shines very brightly. This very important part of Indian heritage has been influencing the world for more than 2,000 years and must be preserved. What is the Buddha Dharma: a religion, a spiritual path, a philosophy or a scientific method? It is all and none of these. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche introduces three key components of the Buddhist view of life and the world: impermanence, suffering and emptiness, giving practical instructions for meditating on the nature of the self and the mind. Perhaps the simplest explanation of the Buddha Dharma is that it is a path to becoming your own master.

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?

Identity Crisis, 15 January 2024, Tokyo [日本語訳付き]

As long as we have consciousness and interact with the world around us, we act out of “trust” or “belief”. We have a notion of an objective reality but the way we see the world is highly subjective: even science is a belief. This Mahayana sutra provides a thorough explanation and detailed analysis of the meaning, development and characteristics of the “trust” which we, aspiring bodhisattvas, need to develop.

Based on the sutra Cultivating Trust in the Great Vehicle.

Cultivating Trust On The Bodhisattva Path, 8 May 2022, Online

Lying flat or tangping is a recent Chinese cultural phenomenon among young people which implies a rejection of societal pressures and competition, and a desire to live a simple life. It may be the closest thing in Chinese society to the hippy movement and its counter-culture values. It may also be related to the Japanese phenomenon hikikomori, or extreme social withdrawal by young people. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche analyses tangping and how it relates to a meaningful life in the ancient Chinese and Indian wisdom traditions.

It is said that storytelling is what separates humans from animals. In this masterclass, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche discusses the power of storytelling and how the notion of a universal theme and the temptation to always achieve a beautiful shot can get in the way of a good story.
