Teaching Part_1_5 Dehradun, 2017 Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche Vanavas

12th - 14th March, 2017

Vana | Dehradun | India

This video captures the first and second sessions from day 1 of our retreat with Dzongsar Jamyang Khyenste Rinpoche at Vana. Here Rinpoche speaks of the concept of ‘retreat’ as a self-imposed physical and mental boundary. A practice that allows one to truly and yet simply experience being in the present. Rinpoche emphasises the importance of wellness and creative meditation practices, even Ikebana flower arranging, Haiku poetry and archery. He encourages the sangha to understand that meditation is a tool and says that even making bread can become a form of practice if so designed. The session concludes with a Q&A.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche is one of the most sublime and skillful Teachers of the Buddhadharma today and an invaluable treasure holder of India’s vast and deep wisdom. The breadth and depth of his knowledge, of cultural and philosophical traditions from India and beyond, make him a profoundly current and versatile Teacher. Without the slightest hesitation, Rinpoche says that he derives his wisdom and conviction from the Buddha Shakyamuni, that the Buddha’s life and what he revealed is immeasurably inspiring, and that devotion, study and practice of the Buddhadharma are priceless. Rinpoche's activities bring countless people closer to the truth and to the Buddha's wisdom. From his films to his books to a spectrum of initiatives, Rinpoche spares no moment to be of benefit to all beings.

We are immensely grateful to Rinpoche for fitting this retreat into his intense schedule, a rare opportunity for new and aspiring Shishyas to be introduced to fundamental aspects of the Buddhadharma and how it relates to mundane life. Rinpoche taught on being in the present moment, material life, methods to practice, dreams and also death; even seasoned students were left elated after these precious days with Rinpoche. We thank Rinpoche with folded hands for his invaluable role in reviving Indian wisdom in contemporary India, especially that of the Prince of India – Siddhartha Gautama.
