Kurukulla Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies, Inc. was founded in 1989 under the spiritual direction of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and the FPMT. Under the guidance of resident teacher Geshe Ngawang Tenley, Kurukulla Center's mission is to provide a community of support for those who are studying and practicing the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Kurukulla Center is affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), a worldwide network of over one hundred and twenty Tibetan Buddhist centers, healing and retreat centers, monasteries, nunneries, publishing houses, and related activities. The FPMT was founded in 1975 by Lama Thubten Yeshe, one of the first lamas to bring Tibetan Buddhism to the West, and continues today under the direction of his heart disciple, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and with the inspiration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Raised by a father who could be very vindictive at times and couldn’t tolerate the sight of us, just like his mother couldn’t tolerate the sight of him and rejected him at birth. I learned to navigate a volatile environment where doing something wrong, or saying one wrong word could lead to escalation and devastation. It was very confrontational to realize that unconsciously my programming wanted chaos. Before accusing someone of wronging or rejecting you, I invite you to do somatic inquiry. Check into your body as you may be surprised to uncover deep-seated programming driven by repression that has been shaping your perception all along.
Thank you for everything you do i’m that little girl that come to your house to listen with you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i pray every single day morning an$ night with my dad we are so thankful ❤
Suffering is a claim by the individual's (egoic) self for something to happen, and needs to happen. In short; _Suffering is the self;_ _Not suffering is no-self;_ _Neither self nor no-self;_ _Is the True (Self) Nature!_ To realise the One's True (Self) Nature, One shall not grasp, hold or cling onto self, ego, concepts, notions or whatsoever ( *_Diamond Sutra_* - refers). So that One's mind is always free at ease - abideless - thus 'no one is there' to fear, worry or be anxious of whatsoever happens and to happen - even death! 😊🙏🙇♂️🌷
Ven. Robina can you please tell me what is the starting point of controlling your speech.. because words just dont come out just like that..its a end product of the thought..but what is the starting point so we can practice working backwards and start from the point of origin..
Now we can all see the teachings in a way that we can use. As usual, Venerable Robin has spoken to us and gives us courage that we will be able to follow this path. Thank you
