In this excerpt from Domo Geshe Rinpoche's teaching on understanding the tantric practice of 21 Taras, Rinpoche discusses the inappropriate fascination that many western Buddhist practitioners bring to deity practice. Rinpoche presents a wonderful analogy comparing the university educational system to the profound learning that comes from higher being.

Domo Geshe Rinpoche discusses the obstacles that prevent us from abiding in the present moment. Using creative analogies, the past and the future are pitted as culprits against our search for the "now".

In this humorous teaching, Domo Geshe Rinpoche uses the actual events that occurred during the finding and preparation of the Blue Mounds location to illustrate the process of "fixing up" one goes through to prepare for the transformation to enlightenment.

A Contemporary Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation Community For Central Florida

Mindfully contemplating the subjective experience of the Four Elements: Earth, Wind,Fire, and Water is mentioned in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Discourse as part of the category “Mindfulness of the Body”.  During the talk, Peter describes the characteristics of each Element, along with how they can be useful for interrupting internal “selfing stories”.  This talk is meant to be accompanied by the recording in the archives entitled “Four Elements Contemplation”.  Those present for the meeting shared their experiences during the meditation and sought clarification regarding the topic.
Here are the notes prepared for this talk:  Working With the Four Elements Contemplations

Working With The Four Elements Contemplations

This guided meditation provides suggestions for contemplating what are called the Four Elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.  These contemplations are embedded within the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Discourse.  Peter describes the subjective characteristics of each of the Elements and suggests different areas of the body to mindfully investigate their nature.  This guided meditation is intended to accompany the Dharma talk entitled ” Working With The Four Elements Contemplation”, which explains how developing proficiency in this training exercise interrupts hindering internal chatter and supports differentiating the separate characteristics of physical sensational awareness and co-occurring fabricating function of the mind.  This understanding increases one’s ability to “deconstruct” belief in an enduring/autonomous self.

Guided Four Elements Contemplation

Short Moments, Many Times a Day.
In this meeting of our sangha, we learn a variety of ways to incorporate moments of meditation throughout the day.  This is not a substitute for our daily sitting practice, but a way to extend that practice throughout our daily activities.  The format of the session will veer from our usual practice, as we practice a 4-5  short meditations.  So make sure to join us at 7:00 for a brief commentary on mindfulness which will be followed by a variety of short-form practices.  This session was facilitated by Lezlie Laws.

Short Moments, Many Times A Day

This week’s dharma talk explores the 7th step in the teaching of the Buddha called “The Noble Eightfold-Path.”  This 7th step is Right Mindfulness. We will explore this key practice that has been described as the watch guard of the mind and an aid to recognize, prevent and release craving and clinging that causes suffering. We will also present an overview of the four foundations of mindfulness discussed in the Buddha’s teachings that are documented in the Satipatthana Sutta. Each of these foundations will be explored in further depth in the upcoming weeks. April Koester gave this talk.

Right Mindfulness

This week’s dharma talk explores the 6th step in the teaching of the Buddha called “The Noble Eightfold-Path.”  This 6th step takes us into the “discipline aggregate” of the eight steps.  Here we learn how to cultivate beneficial qualities of mind and how to disarm unbeneficial qualities of mind.  The talk this week was given by Lezlie Laws.

The #metoo movement has taken the country by storm, and surprise. But there is a reason for it beyond everyone coming out with their own #metoo moment. We are witnessing first hand the beginnings of a large swath of our population reclaiming their power through their voice. In today's episode, we explore what it means to give voice to instances in our history that disempowered us, and perhaps in response we hid that aspect of our selves for a long time. As more and more women come forward with their #metoo, we are witnessing an integration on a collective scale like nothing we've ever experienced before on the planet. The voice is a powerful tool in healing as well as creating our lives as we know it here in the physical. We explore healing from voicing what is going on for us, and possible other actions that could be taken for those instances that need deeper healing. Spiritually, it's an exciting time for so many to unify and rise together for the greater good.

The #metoo movement as a reclamation of power

Awakening so often begins with questioning: from slight whispers to very loud demands, we begin to look for answers. Honesty with our selves is the first step. It is crucial for building a solid foundation in a life with depth and meaning. As we grow and expand, we come back to this basic tenant, time and again. Honoring and respecting our feelings for just what they are--feelings--begins to free us from the entanglement of believing we ARE our feelings. To awaken means to decide to pursue self-mastery. This decision comes with taking responsibility, in the most loving way, of our inner landscape. As we love and respect our inner lives--or our Selves--our exterior lives change. We also begin to live from our own deep, innate wisdom that has always been there. We then begin to (and eventually fully do) trust who and what we are, understanding on a visceral level how we can further serve humanity. Yes, even you! This is not a pipe dream and while it may feel that way while we're clearing out the old, out dated ways of thinking and being, we are gaining a depth and clarity of real experience. Our minds were never put in place to facilitate true understanding, or wisdom, in order to awaken. Rather, our bodies and the choices we make in our lives, are the true vehicle for awakening and self mastery. Our minds just run the program, but our bodies and feelings decide what that program is. As we change and grow with our inner experiences (and change the program we're running), this then is reflected in our outer lives.

The First Step Of Awakening

The language of our souls are different than the language of our minds. Our soul, or heart, speaks the language of truth and beauty while our culture speaks the masculine language of right/wrong, good/bad. Oftentimes those of us on a spiritual path get caught up in the perfectionism of being spiritual enough in order to bypass our spiritual process that includes struggle. Learning to speak the language of our hearts invites us to get very real with ourselves, to not only recognize, but to follow through, on our truth. In today's episode, we talk about this as well as anger as a lifetime of buried feelings, the slow death of perfection, and allowing--an act of the feminine.

Learning To Speak The Language of the Soul: Truth, Beauty, Anger & Perfection

Children perpetuate consciousness on the planet. As the extended forms of their parents consciousness, they come here at a higher vibration. Their existence urges the parents and those around them to rise to the occasion and raise their own vibration with a deeper awareness of self and life. In today's episode, we explore soul families, unity consciousness as our origin, and some practical steps to take (and questions to ask) in moments of disharmony with our children, applicable to both our physical children and inner children. When we can meet our children with more and more consistency at their higher vibration, we are expanding our own consciousness while giving them the gift to move into even greater expanded awareness. This is evident in well-adjusted and empowered adults today who's parents met them where they were in a supportive, loving environment. This expansion relationship doesn't stop once they are 18, or once we are a certain age with our own inner children. Parents who continue to expand themselves towards their children (both inner and outer) well into old age are gifting all future generations with living more expanded, joyful, empowered lives. It's powerful and beautiful work that is fundamental for the future of not just your soul family, but the consciousness of all.

How Children Are The Expanded State of Our Own Consciousness

What does it mean to awaken? What happens as we awaken--what does that process look like? In today's episode, I give a generalized outline of what awakening and integration look and feel like for us. The four main stages: awakening, seeking, connecting, and finally, total embodiment are meant to be a guideline with an understanding that there are many nuances throughout--because each of us are individuals on our own journey's. As we integrate, it can feel scary and deeply challenging because it's so new. The newness is so deep in fact, that we feel like we're literally in the dark. Our eyes, hearts, minds, and feelings have never before experienced much of what is occurring, therefore giving us nothing to base these experiences on and giving the impression we are in the dark. As we move through our integration, we become more and more accustomed to what's happening through practices such as compassion, meditation, tai chi and yoga, to name a few.

Awakening and Integration

Everyday Enlightenment

Alan Wallace Fall 2013 8-Week retreat on Shamatha and the Bodhisattva Way of Life, including teachings on the Seven-Point Mind-Training and A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, by B. Alan Wallace at the Thanyapura Mind Centre in Phuket, Thailand, from September 2nd- October 28th, 2013

Follwing the silent meditation, Alan gets to a few remaining questions, including one about his experience with Shambala and Kalachakra.  A fascinating discussion and series of stories follows.

Meditation starts at: 0:05

93 Merging the Mind the Space and a Discussion of Kalachakra

Before the silent meditation, Alan mentions a few points about Bodichitta.
After the silent meditation, we go back to the last few aphorisms of the Lo-Jong.  We finish the Seven Point Mind Training with a quote from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche... and then go back to the very first aphorism of the Lo-Jong: the preliminaries.

Meditation starts at: 03:21 (silent, not recorded)

92 Merging Mind With Space and the Final Aphorisms of the Seven Point Mind Training

Before the session's meditation, Alan raises the issue of retreat and expedition for after the retreat is over.
After the meditation, there are a few questions about the relevance of doing short-term retreats in Dzogchen/Mahamudra/Vajrayana; is it worthwhile to chase after lamas, teachings and empowerments? How to live in the modern world after a long term retreat?

Meditation starts at: 22:48 (silent, not recorded)

91 Merging Mind With Space and How to Apply the Teachings in Daily Life

Meditation front loading: The porousness of the mind. It is possible that influences can go both into and out from the mind. Like when praying to your guru and getting a response. Does the response come from the guru or from a deeper aspect of your own mind? All that matters is that the advice is taking you further along the path. So in practice of tong len, using the power of the mind, it is possible that we are providing genuine relief from suffering.
Post meditation: Covering the following aphorisms in the seven point mind training text. Cultivate three things without letting them deteriorate. Maintain three things inseparably. Meditate constantly on the distinctive ones. Do not depend on other factors. Now practice what is important. Alan also answers questions on why tulkus still require training in this life, the karmic responsibility of mental afflictions and if Shamatha is required for higher realisations.

Meditation starts at: 11:30 (silent, not recorded)

90 Ultimate and relative bodhicitta and point seven of seven point mind training

Silent session, followed by one question regarding the origin of people within a lucid dream. They all stem from the substrate consciousness. Even when lucid, they are not puppets on your string. As the relative dharmadhatu has no clear boundaries, it is porous so it is possible for a visitation to occur. There are accounts of people having visions of tara, padmasambhava etc. It is hard to say if these are actually tara or some figment of your imagination. But if a teaching leads to enlightenment, who else but a buddha could have taught them. The Theravada believe in metaphysical realism, the world is really out there, the self does not exist, but the world does. This is rejected by the mind only and middle way schools, there is no real world existing out there. So what was occurring on vulture's peak was pure perception. Just as you might walk right through Shambhala and not see it unless your body and mind are purified. So if the perfection of wisdom teachings are true, if teachings like the Kalachakra designed to lead to buddhahood in one life time, if they work, who else but a Buddha could have taught them.

Though fascinated with the land of their tradition’s birth, virtually no Japanese Buddhists visited the Indian subcontinent before the nineteenth century. In the richly illustrated Seeking Śākyamuni: South Asia in the Formation of Modern Japanese Buddhism (U Chicago Press, 2019), Richard M. Jaffe reveals the experiences of the first Japanese Buddhists who traveled to South Asia in search of Buddhist knowledge beginning in 1873. Analyzing the impact of these voyages on Japanese conceptions of Buddhism, he argues that South Asia developed into a pivotal nexus for the development of twentieth-century Japanese Buddhism. Jaffe shows that Japan’s growing economic ties to the subcontinent following World War I fostered even more Japanese pilgrimage and study at Buddhism’s foundational sites. Tracking the Japanese travelers who returned home, as well as South Asians who visited Japan, Jaffe describes how the resulting flows of knowledge, personal connections, linguistic expertise, and material artifacts of South and Southeast Asian Buddhism instantiated the growing popular consciousness of Buddhism as a pan-Asian tradition—in the heart of Japan.
Dr. Richard M Jaffe is a Religious Studies Professor at Duke University focusing on Japanese Buddhism. He is also the director of the Asian/Pacific Studies Institute at Duke.
Samee Siddiqui is a former journalist who is currently a PhD Candidate at the Department of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His dissertation explores discussions relating to religion, race, and empire between South Asian and Japanese figures in Tokyo from 1905 until 1945. You can find him on twitter @ssiddiqui83
