Tulku Lobsang offers consultations both in his capacity as a doctor of Tibetan Medicine and as a spiritual advisor. Consultations generally begin with a pulse reading, whereby the state of the organs and blood and life fluids is assessed. In this way, the presence or early manifestation of disease can be sensed. Tulku Lobsang will offer advice on countering imbalance with diet, exercise, breath or meditation techniques. One may also come with specific questions of a psychological or spiritual nature.

Most people say that their relationship is based on love. However, in many cases, the relationship is really based on desire. This is clear when the relationship is completely happy only in the beginning, 50% happiness and 50% pain in the middle, and by the end it is complete suffering. When our concepts of relationship and marriage are based on the same ideas as desire and property, this relationship can destroy our love and make us unhappy. We must remember that love always makes us happy. Love is the only way to be happy! Without love, happiness doesn’t exist. It is very important to love someone. To love someone means we open that person’s heart. At the same time, we open our own heart.  Therefore, it is good to think about our own ideas and concepts and to reflect on them. Awareness of our concepts makes it possible for us not to lose love in our daily lives. Instead, love will free us from problems, make us happy and lead us to bliss. In this teaching, Tulku Lobsang compares the true nature of love and relationships with our concepts of them. This creates an interesting perspective, which reveals the root of the problems common in our relationships. With great humor accompanied by a focus on the essentials, Tulku Lobsang shows us simple methods for cultivating and maintaining the love in our relationships.

The Green Tara is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism. She embodies the completely developed female energy. The Green Tara signifies the active compassion of all Buddhas as well as the acceptance  and dissolving of all resistances. She wakes our bliss, brings success and shows us the way, how to overcome our fear byfulfilling our spiritual wishes. The Green Tara is invocated as well to protect us against dangers. But mainly the Green Tara supports the practitioners ontheir spiritual path to overcome obstacles.

The Heart Sutra is one of the most famous and powerful of the Buddhist teachings. It describes how to plant the seed for enlightenment for the wellbeing of all sentient beings.

The Heart Sutra is one of the most famous and powerful of the Buddhist teachings. It describes how to plant the seed for enlightenment through the perfection of wisdom. By learning the Heart Sutra we have the chance to develop deep wisdom about the fundamental nature of ourselves and of reality.

The Heart Sutra is literally called “The Heart of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom.” It explains how to achieve liberation through meditations by awakening wisdom. The Heart Sutra contains main concepts of Buddhist philosophy. We learn from the Heart Sutra that our conditioned way of thinking—our habits of judging, separating, labeling of aspects and aggregates—prevents us from recognizing the true nature of phenomena as empty. Even our concepts of “birth” and “death” stem from a dualistic and limited perspective.

Once we recognize this through deep meditation it becomes possible to eliminate our suffering and free ourselves from the cycle of samsara. We will become free of concepts and illusions. When we cultivate the perfection of wisdom, we can remain—for the benefit of all sentient beings—for an endless time in the cycle of samsara. Only with these realizations can we move beyond all deluded states of mind and achieve the perfection of wisdom, the state of the complete enlightenment.
