		<description><![CDATA[A Teaching by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche 
Transcribed by Ngak'chang Rinpoche from oral teachings given by His Holiness Jig'drèl Yeshé Dorje Düd'jom Rinpoche, first Supreme Head of the Nyingma School in exile from Tibet; augmented by replies to questions asked by Ngak'chang Rinpoche in private audiences, relating to the short Düd'jom gTérsar ngöndro, Bodhanath, Kathmandu, Nepal, 1979.
Whatever the practice in which we engage, relative truth and absolute truth are co-existent. Method and wisdom are co-existent. Experiences and emptiness are co-existent. Because this is the nature of the reality we experience, the practice of tantric ngöndro exists as a method for realising the beginningless enlightened state.

		<description><![CDATA[Starting on March 21, 2012 a new class will be offered focusing on Shamata and Vipasana. This is a fundamental Buddhist meditation practice. The practice is coming from the Buddhist sutra "Do pedma karpo" or the "White Lotus Sutra". This is a profound meditation teaching about how to deal with our negative emotions and how we can develop a mind with positive wisdom. The method I will be discussing in class is a general approach on how to manage ordinary obstacles of the mind like fear, anger, greed, and how to dissolve these obstacles. If you need more information about the class, please contact using contact information at the bottom of this page.

		<description><![CDATA[Highland High School teachings continue on Janauary 25th 2012, everyweek on Wednesday, 6pm to 8pm, from the book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hundred-Verses-Advice-Teachings-Shambhala/dp/1590303415/ref=pd_sim_b_2" target="_blank">The Hundred Verses of Advice: Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on What Matters Most</a>" by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Padampa Sangye, Buddhist masters. With the philosophy outlined in this book we achieve joy, bliss and inner peace. The Hundred Verses of Advice was written by the great accomplished Master Padampa Sangye, who was a great Bodhisattva from India. He wrote this root text to bring benefit to all beings.
The commentary is by Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. These two great masters were precious, holy, noble beings. They have both passed away, but their teachings are still alive and are very beneficial. These are not the writings of ordinary people. An ordinary person writes with rational intellect, but they don't have the capability to teach Dharma because they just gather fragments of teachings from too many sources. Just like a broken glass, if one tries to put it back together, it will never be the same as its original form. Their writings do not have the power of blessings. When reading this you recognize a great master's quality, just by hearing, seeing or touching a great master you will receive blessings.

		<description><![CDATA[Since everything originates in the mind, this being the root cause of all experience, whether “good” or “bad," it is first of all necessary to work with your own mind, not to let it stray and lose yourself in its wandering. Cut the unnecessary build-up of complexity and fabrications which invite confusion in the mind. Nip the problem in the bud, so to speak. 

Allow yourself to relax and feel some spaciousness, letting mind be, to settle naturally. Your body should be still, speech silent, and breathing as it is, freely flowing. Here, there is a sense of letting go, unfolding, letting be. <a href="http://welcomingbuddhist.org/archives/1100">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
