How Thoughts Create Reality – Chamtrul Rinpoche Date 9. April 2020
Time 18:00 – 20:00 Category Teachings The Teaching An ordinary
being’s mental activity arises in dependence upon their unawareness
of reality – the absence of inherent existence of all phenomena. In
the opposite way to reality, their mental activity conceptually
designates phenomena, such as the self, another being, or an object,
dualistically grasping at it, believing it to be inherently existent
from its own side. Obscured by this deluded process, is the ordinary
being’s buddha nature, their primordially pure awareness, that is
inseparable from reality. This nonconceptual, uncompounded subtlest
nature is beyond arising and ceasing, and is without beginning or end.
Chamtrul Rinpoche will speak about this, and how unawareness is the
root cause of uncontrollably recurring rebirth, suffering, thoughts
and emotions. He will also talk about how it is possible to get rid of
it forever, by awakening to the blissful primordially pure awareness,
becoming a buddha for the benefit of all. Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang
Gyatso is the recognized reincarnation of the second Chamtrul
Rinpoche, Pema Nangsel Dorje, who was one of the heads of the Mardo
Tashi Choeling Monastery in Tibet and the holy incarnation of the
Kathok Chamtrul Kunzig Dorje. At fourteen, Chamtrul Rinpoche entered
his monastery to study with his first Root Guru, the Dzogchen Master
Naljor Yeshe Wangchuk. Under this great master he studied the
Preliminary Practices (Ngondro), Heat Yoga, Great Perfection Teachings
and more, and completed the Ngondro accumulation three consecutive
times. Rinpoche then joined the Shedra program of philosophical
studies, first at the Great Kathok Monastery, and then at Sertha
Larung, a highly renowned Buddhist Institute. After many years of
rigorous studies of the Five Sciences curriculum under the supervision
of his main Root Guru, H.H. Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, he gained
a vast and profound knowledge of the Sutra and Tantra and was
conferred the title ‘Khenpo’ – an equivalent of ‘Doctor in
Buddhist Philosophy’. Since 1996, Chamtrul Rinpoche has been
teaching in numerous Buddhist institutes in India and across the
Globe.
