  • Teachings on the essentials of Buddhism

    Cultural Centre L'Amphiteatro Art Club 27 Plantelor Street, Bucharest Sector 2, Romania

    We have great joy to announce that the Venerable Master Gonsar Rinpoce will be back in Romania, after a five-year break, in Bucharest to teach Dharma teachings. Through his personal example as well as through his teachings, we will have the rare opportunity to come into contact with a fulfilling mind that bears the stamp of luminous strength and clarity. The event is open to the general public and is designed to meet all who seek to develop their own mind through the cultivation of compassion and wisdom. Topics The main topic of the weekend seminar will be the essential aspects of the teaching of the Buddha (the Awakened One), in particular, the meaning of the Three Gemmata (triratna): Buddha, Dharma, Sangha. The attitude that defines a person as a Buddhist is the attitude of seeking refuge or protection (śaraṇa) in the Three Nestemata. The teachings will be based on the text Śaraṇa-gamana-deśanā, composed by the great Bengali master Atiśa Dīpamkara-śrī-jñāna Atiśa Dīpamkara-śrī-jñāna who lived between 982-1054. He is the master who had the greatest influence on Buddhism in Tibet, his teachings on the Mind of Threes-pointedness (Bodhicitta) and especially on the gradual path to Threes-pointedness (Lam Rim), are the cornerstone for all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Within the teachings, we will also have the chance to [...]

    Anahata Centre 16 Fabrica de Chibrituri Street, Bucharest, Romania

    The Venerable monk Jangchub Phuntsok will come again to Bucharest to teach further Tibetan Buddhist teachings based on the text The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva. The Venerable Jangchub Phuntsok will share with us his understanding and experience of the teachings arising from this very well known text, which he teaches in many Rabten Centres in different countries, including Romania since 2011. About the Tibetan text The work entitled The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (rGyal sras lag len so bdun ma) is composed by the Tibetan master Gyelse Thokme Sangpo, who lived in the 14th century and was known as a very learned master and at the same time a great monk who spent years meditating in solitude. The text sets out in the form of thirty-seven exhortations, the gradual path to Rejoicing (lam rim) together with specific methods of cultivating the mind (lo jong), which are special instructions for the lessening and removal of self-centredness, self-worship and self-worship. These teachings come from the ancient Tibetan Buddhist Kadam tradition, founded by the Bengali master Atiśa Dīpaṃkākāraśrījīñāna, and are the quintessence of the teachings of all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.

The event is addressed in particular to mental health professionals (psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, coaches), but also to all those interested in introspection, personal development, applied spirituality and the relationship between science and tradition. The lecture will be followed by a question and answer session allowing participants to enter into direct dialogue with the master. The lectures will be in English with interpretation into Romanian. Live streaming The conference will be streamed live and will be accessible at: http://twitch.tv/rabtenjampaling Registration [...]
