Suraj: One Month Intensive Dzogchen Meditation Retreat with Palden Sherb R. & Tsewang Dongyal R. March 11 - April 8, 2006 Location: Padma Samye Ling, New York ESSENSE TEACHINGS OF THE DZOGCHEN by Great Master Vimalamitra In the ancient Nyingma school, Dzogchen - "the Great Perfection" - represents the pinnacle of the Buddhist path and the ultimate and final teaching of the Buddha. Dzogchen is the direct method for swiftly realizing the ultimate nature of the mind and attaining Buddhahood in the Rainbow Light Body. This is accomplished through two Dzogchen practices called kadak trekcho (direct introduction through cutting thoroughly) and lhundrub togal (spontaneously leaping over). Through trekcho practice, one becomes familiar with the empty nature of reality. Through togal, one practices on luminosity, coming to realize through direct perception the spontaneous self-perfection of everything. Following in the footsteps of the ancient lineage of Nyingmas, we will put these rare and precious teachings into practice with joy and devotion. Held in noble silence, this retreat is arranged to provide space to receive the pith instructions and deepen personal Dzogchen meditation with the guidance of our beloved Khenpos. Instructions on Trekcho and Togal will be given throughout the retreat , with the primary emphasis being on Togal instructions. The second two week section of retreat will focus on the application of these instructions both individually and as as group. As preparation, Rinpoches request that all those wishing to attend the teachings please practice Guru Yoga and Vajrasattva recitation before coming to the retreat as much as you can. A reminder to all retreatants making arrangements: Venerable Rinpoches wish very much to conclude this retreat together, as one mandala, with special ceremonies of accomplishment on Saturday, April 8. Students are required to pre-register at the earliest convenience as space is limited and other preparations need to be made so that we all may enjoy a harmonious and restful retreat.

A-Tri Dzogchen Teachings May 2-7, 2006 Garrison Institute, Garrison, NY with His Holiness Lungtok Tenpa¹i Nyima Rinpoche 33rd Menri Trizen The Bon Foundation is pleased to announce that His Holiness Menri Trizin 33rd Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, will return to the United States to present a five-day transmission of the A-Tri Dzogchen meditation technique.

This profound meditation system is an advanced and direct practice with the potential to bring sincere practitioners to the liberated state of Buddha-hood in a single lifetime. Unique to Menri Monastery, founded in 1405, the A-Tri Dzogchen practice was first developed in the eleventh century and has been transmitted through an unbroken lineage of lamas whose biographies are well documented. His Holiness is the current holder of that lineage. The A-Tri transmission will be given at Garrison Institute Garrison, New York on May 2-7, 2006. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will attract many students and space will be limited. Students wishing to receive these teachings need not have attended any of the preliminary practices retreats held previously.

Suraj: 14TH ANNUAL SUMMER RETREAT: "TUMMO – INNER FIRE OF REALIZATION," JULY 2-22, 2006, WITH GESHE TENZIN WANGYAL RINPOCHE AT SERENITY RIDGE For 15 years Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has presented the dzogchen teachings of the Bon Buddhist tradition in the West. His teachings and commentaries convey a fundamental understanding of spiritual practice in the context of modern Western life. His ability to make these once-hidden teachings accessible, while maintaining the purity of their transmission, has allowed his students to move beyond conceptual understanding and bring authentic dzogchen experience into their conventional lives. In his soon-to-be-published book, Tenzin Rinpoche presents very simple, clear and direct instructions for integrating spiritual practice through the three doors of body, speech and mind. This summer, at Ligmincha Institute's Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, Tenzin Rinpoche will combine material from his book with practice instructions from the text Ku Sum Rang Shar (Spontaneous Arising of the Three Kayas). This text is by Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche, a Bon master who achieved the body of light, or rainbow body, in 1934. At this year's annual summer retreat Rinpoche will guide and instruct us in the practice of tummo (generating the inner heat) to burn away subtle obscurations and cultivate bliss. He will also teach meditation practices for retrieving healing essences from nature and the elements, which will include light fasting combined with herbal drinks to purify and rejuvenate the body and enhance meditative experience. We will engage the mind and speech with prayer, healing sounds, mantra and visualization; and we will incorporate the potent body movements of Tsa Lung, Trul Khor and prostrations. Rinpoche is happy to announce that both Geshe Nyima Kunchap and Geshe Tenzin Yeshe will join him at the retreat to help lead these practices. It is Tenzin Rinpoche's sincere wish that through the intensive study and practice opportunity offered during this year's summer retreat, each student will find his or her own door to a life that is more physically healthy, energetically vital and spiritually fulfilling. As always, you may come for one, two or all three weeks of the summer retreat. If you are new to Serenity Ridge, or able to come for only one week, Rinpoche recommends that you come to the first week, when an in-depth explanation of the practices will be offered. Of course all are welcome no matter which week they attend. Each week is designed to be a complete series of teachings, and a direct and powerful healing experience with aspects of all of the practices presented each week. Week One: July 2-8 / Week Two: July 9-15 / Week Three: July 16-22 Retreat cost PER WEEK (includes meals): $450 received by May 21; $500 received by June 15; $550 received after June 15 Note: Those who participate in the summer work retreat will receive a 50% discount on one week of the summer retreat. ***** Serenity Ridge Summer Work Retreat: June 27–July 1, 2006 This is a wonderful time to share with sangha and to be of joyful service. Our work retreat includes vigorous work periods, daily meditation practice, and ample time for a swim in the pool or a walk along the Rockfish River. The work retreat is free of charge, and participants are provided with free tenting and meals. For those who participate in the entire work retreat there will be a 50% discount on one week of the summer retreat.

Suraj: His Eminence Gyana Vajra Rinpoche To Begin Cycle of the "Collection of All the Sadhanas" June 7 - 17, 2006 http://sakyatemple.org/hegvr_tkl_2006.htm Origin of the Collection of All Sadhanas Cycle The Collection of All the Sadhanas is one of the most important initiation cycles in Tibetan Buddhism. This collection of one thousand initiations is an authoritative compendium of initiations for almost all of the short sadhanas of the Sakya, Kagyu, Kadam, Jonang, and Shangba Kagyu Schools, as well as some Nyingma sadhanas. The Collection of All the Sadhanas was compiled for the first time in the 1800s by the great Jamgon Loter Wangbo, a scholar of the non-sectarian movement, according to advice by Jamyang Kyentse Wangbo. In those days, Vajrayana practices and sadhanas were kept separately in hundreds of monastic libraries, and parts of the initiation and practice lineage were separately held by dozens of different lamas. The Collection of All the Sadhanas cycle is rarely bestowed even in India or Tibet. When it is bestowed, it is also rare for practitioners who are not lineage holders or senior monks to have the opportunity to receive it. Because the initiation cycle contains one thousand initiations, it is often given in portions over a longer period of several years, and this will also be the case when it is bestowed here in the United States at Tsechen Kunchab Ling. Beginning this year, and in following years, additional sections of initiations from this great cycle will be given at Tsechen Kunchab Ling until the transmission of the Collection of all the Sadhanas in the West is complete. ------------------------- The Cycle of One Hundred Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas This year, one of the most famous portions of the Collection of All the Sadhanas, which is known as One Hundred Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas, will be bestowed. Bari Lotsawa was one of the most important teachers and translators who helped to bring the "New Tradition Tantra" from India to Tibet in the eleventh century. Bari Lotsawa was the teacher of Sachen Kunga Nyingbo, who was the first of the five founders of the Sakya Order. Bari Lotsawa himself received the transmission of the practices contained in the cycle of One Hundred Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas from the Indian master Vajrasanapati (Dorje Denba). From that time until now, there has been an unbroken lineage of transmission and practice of these sadhanas for 1000 years within His Holiness the Sakya Trizin's Khon family. The cycle of One Hundred Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas begins with the major initiation of the Three Bodhisattvas (Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara, and Vajrapani). This is followed by nearly eighty short initiations for many different tutelary deities, Bodhisattvas, wealth deities, and Dharma protectors. Among these are Hevajra, and a wide variety of different types of Manjushri, Tara, Yamari, Mahakala, Jambala, and Kurukuli practices, and many others. A full list of the initiations contained in this cycle is available at www.sakyatemple.org. Students wishing to participate in the cycle must receive the Three Bodhisattvas major empowerment as a pre-requisite and remain for the entire ten day cycle. Receiving these initiations prepares students for study and practice of a wide variety of tantras. After receiving the many blessings of the initiations, traditionally students choose one of them to practice. Venerable Lama Kalsang Gyaltsen, Vice President of Tsechen Kunchab Ling explained, "Receiving the Collection of One Hundred Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas, not to mention the full Collection of All the Tantras is a major blessing and event in a practitioner' s spiritual life. Receiving the initiations of these many deities has tremendous benefit. In this life, it brings the common attainments of pacification of negativity; increase of wealth, merit and life; the ability to subjugate gods, humans, and spirits; and the power to destroy negative forces. In the next life, it brings higher rebirth, the opportunity to practice the Dharma, and to more swiftly achieve Buddhahood. After receiving this profound initiation series, one may choose which deity they wish to practice. It is not necessary or even possible to practice all of them. The initiation series is like receiving a medicine kit, from which one chooses the medicine most necessary for oneself.

Suraj: APRIL 10 & 11 H.H.

There, due to good karma, auspicious coincidence in conjunction with the needs of these current times, I saw all my past and future lives. I recalled all the teachings I had received directly from Guru Rinpoche when I was His disciple, and I saw all the hardships and difficulties of the time in which I am now living.

Traga Rinpoche Traga Rinpoche is an accomplished Dzogchen master, having received profound foundational and the most advanced teachings from some of the greatest living masters of Tibetan Buddhism -- including Khenpo Munsel, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, Khenchen Jigme Phuntsog and many others -- and completed many retreats. From Garchen Rinpoche, Traga Rinpoche received teachings on all Drikung Kagyu texts on regular Dharma service and practice, the five-fold Mahamudra, the entire Dzogchen Yangzab teachings, and many profound pith instructions. He then did his Dzogchen Yangzab retreat at Lho Miyel Gon monastery. In early 1984, Traga Rinpoche received full gelong ordination from the Nyingma master Khenpo Munsel, who gave him the detailed teachings on Dzogchen “Cutting Through the Resistance to Primordial Purity.” Khenpo Munsel gently looked at Traga Rinpoche and said, “Your karmic propensity is to practice Dzogchen. I am your karmic lama. If you can meditate, you have today found the way to liberation in one life. You will never find something like this even if you went to look for it with your horse’s hooves encased in steel. Spend one year near me and meditate.” For the next seven years, he did retreat near Khenpo Munsel, and practiced Cutting Through, Passing Over, and many other advanced practices. In 1998, Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche -- determined to make Traga Rinpoche’s vast knowledge and profound experiential understanding of the highest level of Dzogchen teachings accessible to as many students as possible -- enthroned him as “Lopon Rinpoche” (Precious Master), with lavish praise for his hard work and outstanding achievements. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche selected Traga Rinpoche as the retreat master and resident lama at the Garchen Buddhist Institute, and asked his students “to have full confidence in Traga Rinpoche, just as I have full confidence in him. May these teachings benefit all beings. Please let us know if you do not wish to receive these emails.

The Collection of Bari Lotsawa Sadhanas contains nearly 80 short initiations for many different tutelary deities, Bodhisattvas, wealth deities, and Dharma protectors.

Максим А: Осталось только выяснить почему выделенно черным и красным.

Suraj: Чёрным я выделил необычных женских дэватов. Пратьянгира вообще интерестный дэват. На старом форуме мы её обсуждали. В индуизме она едущая на льве дэви, её функция защита от вредоностной магии. В Ваджраяне Пратьянгира иногда эпитет Ситатапатры (форма Тары с зонтом, защищающцая от всех напастей). В комментариях Карма Чагме на практику Симхамукхи (перевод Рейнольдса "Тайнаяй книга Симхамукхи), в разделе "активности" даётся мантра Пратьянгиры (с её именем). Пратьянгира нтересный "двойной дэват".

Suraj: DRUTHOB RINPOCHE Amitayus Long Life Initiation LOCATION Tibet House, 22 W 15th Steet, NYC TIME Sunday, September 10, 2006, 2:00 - 5:00pm BIOGRAPHY Drubthob Rinpoche was born in 1929 towards the end of the Iron Horse year, in Lhoga Dranag, a province in central Tibet. One day when he was about 7 years old, Kagyur Rinpoche recognized the boy as the reincarnation of the great yogi Drubchen Rinpoche, and informed his parent that he should be called "Druthob Rinpoche". Kangyur Rinpoche also advised the family that the boy should be ordained as monk in the Drepung Loseling monastery. By the age of 19, Rinpoche had mastered chants and rituals. He devoted himself to the study of logic, and study of the Prajnaparamita and Mandhyamika under Pema Gyaltsen and Yeshi Dhondup. He also studied the Vinaya under Lobsang Tsewang. Rinpoche also studied Phowa under the direction of Kangyu Rinpoche, and meditated in a 3-year retreat under the direction of Lhapten Rinpoche and Kangyu Rinpoche. During the communist Chinese invasion of Tibet, Rinpoche was imprisoned for 3 years for distributing Protection Amulets among the Tibetan Army and others to protect them against weapons and bullets. After release, Rinpoche went to Katmandu, Nepal where he has rermained since. Rinpoche is skilled in treating people with abnormal ailments of natural disorders such as epilepsy, nervous disorders, and performing Phowa for those who have passed. Drubthob Rinpoche is also well known for his divination skills, performing rituals for dispelling obstacles from people, exorcism etc. In 1975, Rinpoche established the Woechen Thuk-Je Choeling Monastery and was appointed the abbot by Khenpo Pemba Gyaltsen (Khen Rinpoche) from the Loseling Monastery. Today with sixty-five monks and few caretakers, the monastery keeps itself constantly busy with various pujas and rites arranged upon requests from people of all walks of life.

Suraj: Konchog Thupten Nima (Ven. Gape Lama) Red Tara/Kurukulle "Lotus Hook Of Accomplishment" Retreat October 13-17, 2006 Burnham Hall Lincoln, VT Date Time Teaching Sug.

In her aspect as Kurukulle, she is the deity of bliss and power. She is the inner dakini and performs the "magnetizing" activity that benefits all beings. She is also the source of fierce inner heat or "tummo". In Tibetan, her name is pronounced rik-jay-ma which means, the female buddha that awakens nondual awareness. This is a very special and rare Red Tara/Kurukulle practice which was revealed by the Drikung Treasure revealer Osel Dorje. Gape Lama is a very close lineage holder of this practice who holds the pith instructions for the accomplishment of this practice. We will receive the empowerment, receive the essential practice instructions, and then do a two day practice retreat. Also, for the first time the extensive sadhana for this practice which has been translated will be made available and taught on. Teachings will also be given on the concise practice text. This retreat contains everything needed to be able to do this practice with confidence. REGISTRATION Suggested donation for those attending complete retreat (10/13-17) $175.

Further information on these teachings will soon be updated at www.ddcv.com No one turned away for lack of funds. Biography of Konchok Thubten Nima (Ven. Lama Gape) Lama Gape was born in the Kham (eastern) Region of Tibet in 1965. When he was 14, Lama Gape had the good fortune to receive instruction on the effects of virtuous and harmful actions by the great Yogi Damga, and he completed the four hundred thousand accumulations of the preliminary practices (Ngondro) according to the Buddhist Yangzab terma. Lama Gape made great efforts to travel to Gar Monastery where he received refuge ordination from the profoundly loved and respected Garchen Rinpoche. He then received full monastic ordination and the bodhisattva vow from the great siddha Karma Norbu, and was then admitted to Gar Monastery. While at Gar Monastery Lama Gape studied tantric ritual practices of the Old and New Schools, and engaged in a wide array of other religious trainings. Lama Gape received special training from the Hlo Lungkar Monastery Chant-master (religious ritual master), Lama Yungthar, including the Eight Heruka Sadhanas, the Embodiment of the Masters' Realization, Vajrakilaya, and Essence of Great Bliss. He then served as chant master for Gar Monastery and later as the disciplinarian. Thereafter, Lama Gape sought out and received teachings from many of the greatest living Buddhist masters including: Dzogchen Trekchod and Thogal from the highly-renowned and respected Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche; the entirety of the Drikung Kagyu protectors and the higher and lower tantra sections from His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. Lama Gape also received personal, one-on-one instruction from the great Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche also gave Lama Gape the Kalachakra Empowerment and teachings and Kilaya cycle of teachings from Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche's own terma (mind treasure). At Drikung Thil, Lama Gape studied with the very venerable Drupon Tenzin Nyima and received some of the most profound teachings of the Drikung Kagyu linage, including the Fivefold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas [of Naropa]. He studied the Gong Chig (Single Intention), Essence of Mahayana, The Bodhisattva Way of Life, and the Thirty-Seven Bodhisattva Practices with Drikung Khenpo Namzig. Under the elder Drikung Chantmaster Konchok Samten, he trained in the ritual practices of Chakrasamvara, Varahi, the Yangzab, Sarvavid and Akshobhya. Lama Gape also received empowerment, teachings and pith instruction on the Yamantaka practice from the great Yanga Rinpoche. Thereafter, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche asked Lama Gape to undertake a series of assignments to help reorganize and reestablish Buddhist practice and monastic discipline in monasteries throughout the region  after, in some cases, a twenty-five year breach in the Buddhist practice tradition. Some of the monasteries Lama Gape helped reestablish include: Hlo Miyel Monastery, Khargo Monastery and later Tseri Monastery in Sichuan -- where he reestablished the Great Accomplishment (Drupchen) practice of Yamantaka and gave other teachings. He next served (again at the request of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche) as Lama (religious teacher and minister) for two years at Tamgo Monastery in Central Tibet, the former dwelling place of Chung Dorje Dragpa -- the fourth lineage holder of the Drikung Kagyu. There Lama Gape established the summer retreat, set up a yearly teaching schedule and appointed a chant master, disciplinarian and shrine master. Subsequently, at Gar Monastery, Lama Gape took responsibility for instructing the nuns at the Fivefold Mahamudra Meditation Center of Gargon Nunnery. In the year 2000 Lama Gape went to India and received the complete Drikung Kagyu empowerments, transmissions and teachings during the Drikung Snake Year teachings. There he received teachings directly from His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche, and many other high Lamas. More info on Lama Gape can be found at www.thubtennima.net/ These teachings are sponsored by Drikung Dzogchen Community Vermont. Please let us know if you do not wish to receive these emails.

Suraj: Спасибо, я это тоже получил. Далековато, часов 5-7 летом, Новая Англия, сееро-восточное побережье. Зимой туда ехать проблематично. Да и наставления по Трекчо обычно весьма общие. Сколько слушал различных лам,- одно и тоже. Только ННР и Кунсанг Дечен Лингпа (покойный) иногда освещают специфические моменты, а так... Можно и Лонгченпу почитать с таким же успехом. P.S. Одно из двух или избаловался или за штампами перестал слышать живое :)

This will be the first time the Outer, Inner, and Secret Amitabha practice has been given in the West. Through this practice one is empowered into the activities of the Buddha of Boundless Light. Gyalpo Rinpoche has said this is a very important practice for these times. November 23-24 - Yangzab Phowa Transmission, Teachings, and Practice This is a very special phowa practice from the Yangzab treasure cycle which was revealed by Drigung Rinchen Phuntsok. Through the practice of phowa one can transfer one's consciousness at the time of death to the pureland of Buddha Amitabha. Those who have accomplished this practice are also able to do this practice for others at the time of death. November 25-27 - Yangzab Five Vajravarahi Empowerment, Teachings, and Practice The Five Vajravarahi practice is the secret Dakini practice of the Yangzab cycle. This empowerment is rarely given and this will be the first time teachings have been given publicly on this practice in the West. Through this practice the activities of pacification, increasing, magnetizing and wrathful activity are accomplished. This practice is also closely associated with the practices of Tsa Lung which work with the winds, channels, and drops. ***

Manikarnika: Ого! Что то не слышно было в рунете про персональную ученицу Карлоса из Питера.

Сэм: Manikarnika пишет: Что то не слышно было в рунете про персональную ученицу Карлоса из Питера. Да поди на семинар тенсегрити полтора раза съездила - и всё. Ученица. Можно самой деньги зарабатывать. Наборчик у неё вообще симптоматический: КК, Бабабаджи и буддизм. Странно что нет ещё рейки, академии экстрасенсорики и майянского календаря для полного комплекта. Говорящее фомилиё у девушки.

Максим А: Когда рассказываешь кому-то свое мировосприятие, оно кажется таким истинным и реальным. Вы себе не представляете..

Suraj: New age очень популярен в США, особенно на западном побережье почему-то. Ну хочет человек заработать пару копеек... Каждый зарабатывет на жизнь как может...

dostr: <<Что то не слышно было в рунете про персональную ученицу Карлоса из Питера.>> -Елена последние 10 лет живет в Лос Анжелесе, да и преподает она не Тенсегрити, а свои практики. С Кастанедой она занималась доволно плотно. <<Говорящее фомилиё у девушки.>> Казется личные наезды на этом форуме не поосщряются......очень нехорошо это..... - пока ми писали рекламу, опытная журмналистка, которая помогала мне, по вьедливой журналистскоы привычке проверила часть фактов указанних в рекламе,- все ОК -Елена весма продвинутый практик, сейчас основной ее учитель Тензин Вангял. - Сураж, учить иногда начинают не только потому что хочется денег, но и когда Бодхичитта заела :), кто-то тексты переводит, кто-то учит -из 10 новых ребят которих мы загнали на последний ретрит ННР в Нью йорке остался толко один, осталным было скучно - нет кармической связи. Я привожу Елену для осталних :) ( Ну и для себя - буддистские практики- это надолго и серьезно, но если бы я не практиковала цигун и шаманизм не было бы у меня сил ,времени и здоровя практиовать практики ННР )

Сэм: dostr Вас никто не знает, вашу журналистку тем более. Почему мы должны доверять вам на слово? Может вы тут фальшивый продукт пеарите? Я, как потребитель, хочу знать. 1) В чём конкретно заключается её продвинутость как практика? Факты на стол?! 2) Вокруг клиргрина всегда много народа тусовалось совершенно бестолку. В чем заключалась плотность её занятий с Карлосом? Клиргрин знает, что она использует имя Карлос Кастанеда (ТМ) в рекламе своей сторонней коммерческой деятльности? Мы можем их известить, и они ее от намерения отключат! 3) У кого именно в ашраме Бабаджи получала практики Е.Лобода. Имена назовите, где и когда. Нам так же известно кто там и что. 4) То, что Елена считает своим учителем ТВР ничего к её статусу не добавляет. Его учениками могут себя назвать тысячи людей по всему миру. Тензин Вангьял поручил Е.Лободе учить людей? Чему именно? Я - представитель московской бонской сангхи и могу связаться с ТВР в пару дней выяснить. 100%, что ему неизвестна даже её фамилия. 5) Ваши проблемы со здоровьем и планированием времени не имеют отношения к сомнительности вашей протеже. А может вы и есть сама, саморекламирующаяся, Е.Лобода. Почем нам знать. Я вам объясню что я имею в виду. Никому нет дела до шизотериков, впаривающих своё шоу другим шизотерикам. Но вы суёте в свою рекламу имена известных и уважаемых людей. Поэтому не удивляйтесь что вас подробно расспросят. И проверят.

dostr: >>> Я - представитель московской бонской сангхи и могу связаться с ТВР в пару дней выяснить. 100%, что ему неизвестна даже её фамилия. >>>>> -связивайтесь. Думаю вы получите интересующую вас информацию. Лично я в таком тоне общатся не буду -не хочу. Мы тут несколко изнежены в Америке Good luck, Bye
