Lhabab Düchen

Lhabab Düchen

On the 22nd of November is Lhabab Düchen,

the day Buddha is said to have descended from Tushita into our world.

“Whatever virtue you do that day, it is very important to do it. We need virtue. Virtue is like our food. Generally, we eat and drink. Why? Because we know our body needs that. Otherwise, it’s so complicated to do things. In the same way, mind needs virtues to dispel the darkness of the mind. When the darkness of the mind, ignorance, disturbing emotions, obscurations, hindrances, are dispelled or eliminated, mind becomes clearer, mind is shining. Gradually you become enlightened, and when you are enlightened, you become the same as the Buddha. How much can you then be of benefit! It is unbelievable.”

A Little Inner Smile

A Little Inner Smile

Once you have the view, although the delusory perceptions of samsara may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment. You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the view will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.

A Visit from Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche

A Visit from Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche

We were honoured to host Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche, together with his wife, at Dharma City during the summer shedra. As the eldest son of Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche (Khordong Terchen Tulku Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche), the lineage holder of the Khordong and the Northern Treasures (Jangter, byang gter) traditions in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche’s visit strengthened even more the connection between Patrul Rinpoche’s lineage and the Jangter lineage.
