Dza Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche som undervisat på vår förening många gånger, startar på måndag 18 maj en fri undervisning online.
“Dear friends near and far,
we hope you are well and healthy. We would like to extend our warmest spring greetings and invite you to join the upcoming online seminar, which is completely free of charge.
Following the Words of My Perfect Teacher
and Remarkably Attaining the Twofold Goal
Open to all, this seminar is a unique opportunity to study the foundations of the Buddhist view and practice through the “Words of my Perfect Teacher”, the ideal introduction to all aspects of the practice—perfectly suited for beginners as well as seasoned practitioner. This year the seminar will focus on the third chapter: “The Defects of Samsara.”
Greatly learned and experienced in meditation practices, Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche shares his knowledge and experience all around the world for more than twenty years. In 2007, he founded an international retreat and study center “Dharma City” in Belgium.
This seminar is part of a complete and graduated six-year study program, at the rate of one seminar per year. However due to the present extraordinary circumstances, there will be no exam this year. Rinpoche encourages the students of this and all other study cycles to review the main aspects of the path, especially the outer and inner preliminaries as they are outlined in the “Words of my Perfect Teacher”.”

Metta is a peaceful state of mind. It is the state of openness, of wishing the wellbeing of oneself and others. Mainly by changing negative thinking and emotions into kindness. Practicing metta slowly creates a mental attitude of wholesome intentions. Not only for ourselves. But also in relation to loved ones, to neutral persons, even those whom we dislike, and finally to those in all directions of the universe.
In this way, Metta means mental power, independency and joy.
When we express goodwill, it does not mean that we are going to be there for others all the time. We are wishing that all beings will wise up about how to find happiness.
Metta Meditation is development of friendliness towards all living beings. During metta meditation, people are amazed to find out that they have a capacity for loving kindness, both for themselves and for others. Meditation helps breaking the boundaries. Due to past experiences, many of us do not trust our capacity to kindness. But Metta meditation involves a tremendous opening and purifying of our intentions.
We will explore this philosophy of metta. And we will practice intensive metta meditations.
Metta is the armour of the bodhisattva. It is bodhicitta. Giving. Awareness. Strength. Power. A great/vast mind: concerning all sentient beings. That they “wear great armor” means that, while armor is usually worn to protect the body from a physical attack, in this context it refers to the armor that protects the mind..

Bhuti Losang
är en kvinnlig tibetansk läkare som bor i Köpenhamn och som har besökt oss i många år.
Genom åren har hon fått god inblick i vilka speciella problem som drabbar oss med västerländsk livsstil.
Bhuti ger ofta både kostråd och ordinerar tibetanska örtmediciner till sina patienter.
Oavsett om du har en kronisk sjukdom eller bara känner dig lite hängig, kan en hälsokoll av den tibetanska läkaren Bhuti Losang vara en god idé.
Tibetansk medicin har sin grund i buddhismen och sinnets balans anses vara en förutsättning för god hälsa. Det finns en helhetssyn på vad som behövs för att hålla sig frisk och läkarna ser helst att patienterna kommer innan obalanser pågått så länge att de blir svårare att bota.
Tyvärr får vi ställa in Lama Phuntsoks kurs, på grund av det osäkra läget i världen. Vi försöker hitta ett datum längre fram då han kan komma.
Weekend course with Lama Phuntsok
Chenrezig is the embodiment of all the buddhas’ compassion and love. The literal translation of his name means “The One Who Beholds With Loving Eyes”. Chenrezig’s brilliant white body represents the luminosity of primordial wisdom, the spark of enlightenment.
The practice of Chenrezig consists of closing the gap between the practitioner and the practice, so there is no difference between the person meditating and the love and compassion they are cultivating. In the end the practitioner becomes the very nature of love and compassion.
The practice of Chenrezig
– the Buddha of Compassion – and the recitation of the mantra is considered one of the most common, beloved and powerful of all the practices in Tibetan Buddhism.
Lama Phuntsok will clearly set forth the principles and theory of this meditation and then give instructions for the practice of Chenrezig.
You do not need any special prerequisites to participate!
LAMA PHUNTSOK
Lama Phuntsok resided for ten years in Palden Shangpa La Boulaye, France. He made various retreats there, including the three-year one. At the end of it Lama Phuntsok assisted the retreat master for several years. He then stayed in India for two years where he received spiritual guidance from Bokar Rinpoche. He is currently working for Kalu Rinpoche.
Lama Phuntsok has visited us in Gothenburg for the last years and his teachings have been very appreciated and useful.
