Welcome to Rangjung Yeshe Institute! Our videos help you get an idea of what it is like to study on campus in Nepal, or participate in one of our online learning courses via Moodle. Enjoy!
Thank you very much for your honest and open hearted communication. I deeply appreciate you and your performances of chanting the mantras/prayers. I feel respect for you! Sadhu for you to be on the earth in this era to spread spiritual practices. Thank you so much !!!
Since when dude become Holiness (Kyabgon)? It's always best to stay humble and keep up with good work playing with name and titles are turely unnecessary to play and impose with.
everyone's welcomed to freely and openly share ideas. I'm also going to share some ideas here. I disagree. a practitioner will find Rinpoche's answers so helpful and right on point. and Kyabgon was obviously added by student instead of requested by Rinpoche. btw Kyabgon in Tibetan literally means the protector. of course teachers are students' protectors who help students to see their true nature, which is the ultimate refuge. of course you are welcomed to freely share your hearts and criticize. but at the same time I'm sorry to say that we often jump to solid judgment without knowing that what we see are, or are filtered by our own projections. because of your habitual patterns, you interpreted the whole thing as someone's arrogance just by a single word, which you don't even know its accurate meaning. this is your habit, your mind. please face it. and please apply dharma to make it become better. otherwise no matter how many fancy theories we learn, we simply don't know what is genuine Dharma, the Dharma of realization. that will be such a pity. a waste of your teaches and your own potential.
Not an invitation to defiance but an invitation to do as they deemed important and not how someone else tells them they should be. Don’t ask me. Question me and do what is calling from your heart. Is this the right path, why ask if you can walk it, just walk or don’t walk.
Could it be that when the Buddha said I’d rather you not ask me that question, he was invited them to act according to their intuition rather than search for approval, which is exactly what they did.
Rinpoche talk and advice is always amazing. When I listen to Rinpoche's teaching for the first time, I got alot of admiration, want to listen more of his teaching. RYI students are very fortunate to learn the precious Buddhadharma with the precious Lama Rinpoche. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☸️🪷📿🌸💐😇❤️🌈
Amazing institute.......I really consider these students are very fortunate one..... they get to learn the precious Dharma. It will not only benefit for this life but laying the merit foundation for all their life time to come. 🙏☸️🪷❤️🌈
Really terrific talk. One rarely has a chance to learn about jyotisa (astrology) in such a deep way from a genuine jyotisa lineage holder such as Pandit ji, especially in the context of Buddhadharma / Tantra. For my own part, in the past I was reluctant to entertain astrology because I felt that it was opposed to the Buddhist path - and many ask questions along those lines in the Q&A section at the end - but Pandit ji cleared those views up very easily and naturally. Listening to him felt like exhaling misconception and letting the shoulders of doubt drop. "If you cultivate bodhicitta, all the planets will conspire to support you." 🌹🌹
Wonderful talk. I studied in an ashram since was small, but this lecture is truly profound. I learnt about elements of Dharma that I haven't encountered in my studies before.
Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Contemplative photography is my practice at the moment and I find Andy’s insights extremely helpful. Perhaps the one thing that really stood out for me, if I can paraphrase it, was the circle that goes from the direct seeing to our conceptualising about it and then back to the direct seeing at the point of taking the photograph. I think that acknowledging that process will help me get back to the direct seeing and not get stuck in the conceptualising. Thank you 🙏
