Now is the time
Your mind is spinning around
About carrying out a lot of useless projects:
It’s a waste! Give it up!
Thinking about the hundred plans you want to accomplish,
With never enough time to finish them,
Just weighs down your mind.
You’re completely distracted
By all these projects, which never come to an end,
But keep spreading out more, like ripples in water.
Don’t be a fool: for once, just sit tight.
“We can free ourselves from any kind of suffering if we understand the true nature of mind.”

The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment. According to Guru Rinpoche’s prediction, they can be placed on mountains, rivers or caves, in lakes or in the ocean around the world to suppress and resolve various disasters and wars, liberating all sentient beings in the six realms into Buddhahood.
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.
