ONE SUNDAY EVERY MONTH FROM 9:00-11:30 AM

Fall Teachings with Lama Yeshe

One of the great contemporary Tibetan Buddhist yogis, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, died this past spring. Khenpo was a frequent teacher at KSC in the early 2000s and left all of us a legacy of teaching songs, as well as strong support for the building of the KSC center. I would like to honor Khenpo’s life and legacy this year, in a series of Sunday teachings.

After the meditation on Calm Abiding Sundays, I will tell a part of Khenpo’s life story. And since so many of Khenpo’s teaching songs were based on the dohas (songs of realization) of Milarepa, Tibet’s great yogi, I will also share a portion of Milarepa’s life story. 

We will then learn one of the songs that Khenpo and his translators brought to KSC, and take time to explore the meaning of the instruction and insight that they offer to us as students of meditation. 

Please join me in honoring, and learning from, this funny, outrageous, serious and wise leader of our lineage.

Lama Yeshe

Calm Abiding Meditation

This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.

“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.”  From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche
