Mindfulness is of fundamental importance. It has a positive effect on all aspects of our life. Mindfulness helps us to not constantly dwell on our thoughts about the past but to return to the present moment and thereby find deep happiness in the here and now. When we are more mindful, all aspects of our life improve automatically. Whether we experience a lack of joy in our life or have difficulties in our relationships, with our health or at work - mindfulness is the key to a deep change in our life.

In the west, we are often not aware of the necessity and the benefits of mindfulness. The same way as our body gets stronger, more flexible and fitter when we train it in a certain way, we can also train our mind. In this lecture, Tulku Lobsang teaches us methods for daily use that help us to train our mind in order to develop more and more mindfulness. With this skill we can increasingly unfold our potential and have more loving relationships.

The Green Tara is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism and embodies the active compassion of all Buddhas as well as the completely developed female energy. She protects from fear, increases the primordial wisdom from which our spiritual growth develops, and she is praised for her wish-fulfilling qualities. She is known for swiftly fulfilling wishes and protecting from dangers.

The Green Tara’s main objective is to guide the practitioner to enlightenment. In this way, the fears from which she protects can also be seen as a symbol for the inner obstacles on the spiritual path.

In this seminar Tulku Lobsang introduces us to the wisdom of this female Buddha. Together we recite the Tara Mantra and learn the meditation on the Green Tara.

A mantra is a sacred syllable, a sacred word or a sacred verse. Mantras can be spoken, whispered, sung or recited in one’s mind. Tibetan Buddhism knows that the recitation of mantras has a healing effect. Because of the sound and the vibration of the mantra, its recitation helps to bring our energies back in balance, and thereby improving our health.

In this seminar, Tulku Lobsang explains how we can recite mantras and which mantras have a healing effect. Of course, we will also recite and sing mantras together – a beautiful, uplifting experience.

In order to experience health and happiness, our body and our mind have to be harmonized as those two are deeply connected with each other. On the one hand, the state of our mind has a large influence on the health of our body, on the other hand it is possible to use our body for reaching our mind.

Regular meditation practice – even if it is simple and short – leads to a mind that is more balanced, more relaxed and calmer and therefore has an incredibly positive effect on our physical wellbeing.

On the other hand, we can use the body as „vehicle“ for dissolving conceptional thoughts, thereby reaching a clear state of mind. This enables us to develop deep love and all-embracing compassion.

Seminar programme:

• Introducation: The body as „vehicle“ for change
• Lu Jong – Tibetan Healing Yoga: We learn the Five Element Exercises

This seminar offers the unique opportunity to learn about several of Tulku Lobsang’s methods on one day.

Tsor Gom is a wonderful, strong healing meditation technique from Tibetan Tantrayana Buddhism. It is used to adjust imbalances between humours and elements as well as between our mind and our body.

At this weekend retreat Tulku Lobsang introduces us to the wisdom of this meditation practice. We learn how we can use visualizations, breathing techniques and meditation exercises to restore a balance between our body and our mind and to dissolve blockages.

With the help of this meditation we can activate our self-healing powers, support healing processes, overcome negative emotions, increase our energy and find deep calmness and relaxation.
