Bring G20 On-notice about desperate state in Tibet

"The oppression continues in Tibet and the Tibetans are becoming more and more desparate. Since March 2011 nine young Tibetans, almost all of them monks, have lit themselves on fire. Please help bring their voices to the G-20 Summit in Cannes, France, 3-4 November 2011 by signing the petition found on the website http://standupfortibet.org." - Ven. Joan Nicell


Campain for Tibet also have a petition up at the White House site, and need to collect 25,000 signatures by 11. November.

HHDL live webcast teaching tonight from Helsinki

HH Dalai Lama will be teaching in Helsinki on lojong (thought transformation/mind training), on The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation, something he teaches on frequently.  It will be webcast live, but at 12AM Pacific Standard Time tomorrow morning ("tonight", midnight).   This may be of interest to those attending next week's day long retreat my brother-in-robes Ven. Chophel will be leading, or who have attended the teaching and meditation I led on this a few weeks ago.

Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind


As long as our minds oscillate compulsively between agitation and dullness, wavering from one attentional imbalance to another, we may never discover the depths of human consciousness. Can the mind be irreversibly freed from its emotional afflictions, such as craving, hostility, depression, envy, and pride? Are there limits to our love and compassion? Is awareness finite and immutable? We know that the mind has powers of healing, which are sometimes attributed to the "placebo effect", and that it has the capacity to make us ill as well. What other powers lie dormant within human consciousness, and how can they be tapped? These questions have been posed by contemplatives throughout history, and focused attention has been a crucial tool in exploring them.

Kyabje (Pari) Dagri Rinpoche's Lam-Rim teachings this week

Freshly uploaded!  Kyabje (Pari) Dagri Rinpoche's teachings this week on the Lam-Rim from Kurukulla Center in Boston.


Je Tsongkhapa's "The Foundation of All Good Qualities" is a concise lam-rim text that teaches the entire breadth of the path to enlightenment, from the small scope to tantra, in just 14 verses. We are honored to host Dagri Rinpoche to give commentary on this important teaching.

Dagri Rinpoche is the reincarnation of Pari Dorje Chang, one of the great Lhasa geshes and teacher to many, including Lama Yeshe. After escaping from Tibet in 1982 he completed his studies and received his Geshe Lharampa degree. Thubten Damchow translates.
