- To My Beloved Teacher
  
  Many questions were submitted to Tulku Lobsang, and he answered. Perhaps you will find the answer to your question too!
Teaching Focus

It is not enough to simply hear a teaching. For a teaching to have true, lasting benefit it needs to be given in the right way and taken in the right way. We need the right teacher, the right teaching, and the right way to receive.
- Lu Jong
  
  Lu Jong is an ancient practice rooted in Tibetan Medicine that releases blockages on the physical, mental and energetic levels. Doing this movement practice makes us healthier, and also more calm and balanced.
- Tsa Lung
  
  With Tsa Lung we work with the breath. This is the way to touch deep within the body and open more subtle channels. Change the breath; change the mind.
- Tummo
  
  This Inner Fire practice is a method for deep transformation. It opens us on the subtlest level, melts our karmic blockages and completely changes us. Our body is the diamond key. Through it, we are able to achieve diamond wisdom.
- Bliss
  
  This practice utilizes the vehicle of the body to enable us to go beyond the conceptual mind. In this way we achieve higher realizations about the nature of ourselves and reality and develop deep compassion.
- Rigpa
  
  Rigpa is how we come to know the true nature of the mind, which is emptiness. Because of emptiness, everything arises. When we know the mind, we know all.
- Guru Yoga
  
  Guru Yoga is the spine of Tantrayana. Without this feeling, there is no strength, no power. By cultivating devotion, we reduce our obstacles and receive blessings in our practice.
- Lo Jong
  
  Problems are our best teachers. They give us the opportunity to transform ourselves. Lo Jong shows us to use problems to train our mind to be calm and peaceful in any situation.
- Kum Nye
  
  Kum Nye is Tibetan massage. It helps spread our essence throughout the body and makes everything flow. This restoration is especially important for Tantrayana practitioners, since we work so intensively with the body and channels.
- Tog Chöd
  
  Tulku Lobsang founded this Wisdom Sword Practice—a moving meditation with a sword. This powerful technique harnesses our inner power, bringing us swiftly into the present moment, slaying our fears and expectations.
- Gyulu
  
  If we can cut through the illusion of temporary existence, if we can recognize that nothing exists the way we believe it to and that it is just a projection of our thought, then we can exist infinitely.
- Sleep Yoga
  
  Every time we fall asleep we naturally reach the clear light state of mind, the most pure, subtle consciousness. This happens automatically, but to catch it and achieve realizations, we need to practice.
- Dream Yoga
  
  Even when we are asleep we can continue our Buddhist practices. With Dream Yoga we try to realize the dream as a dream, and then we can understand illusion.
- Fearless Death
  
  With exercises and meditations we can prepare ourselves now to navigate the different phases of death. In this way, we will recognize when we enter Bardo, the intermediate state, and thereby have a profound affect on our next life.
- Gang Gyok
  
  This is a yogic running technique. Using visualizations and special breath techniques, one can learn to harness great power and boundless energy.
- Mindfulness
  
  Learn to enter the present moment through mindfulness, and find the key to change your whole life.
- The Power of the Mind Series
  
  We don’t realize how powerful our minds are! When we use its power, we can totally change our lives and make them like heaven. Tulku Lobsang introduces us to our own power.

Our everyday life is characterized by many distractions, so that we are far from our true selve. Tulku Lobsang will teach in this retreat mindtraining tools, various meditations and practices from the tantrayana buddhism, which help us, to reach a physical and mental balance in order to recognize our true nature.

How many times have you set out to do something and not finished? How is it that we can know exactly what would be good for us, but then not do it? We don’t do what we should do; we don’t do what we know is best for ourselves.

In the first part of this retreat Tulku Lobsang will teach us simple mental tools for overcoming our laziness. This is the first step to leading a fulfilled life. Based on the rich treasures of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings, Tulku Lobsang can touch us deeply with his direct wisdom, and in this way change our thought patterns. This is the only way how to change our behavior and look behind the mental obscurations.

In the second part of the retreat we will learn different exercises from the tantrayana buddhism. They enables us to regain the physical and mental balance of the five elements. With a balanced body we can balance our mind and train our body. For example Lu Jong, Tsa Lung, Tummo and Gang Gyok are helpful to open our chakras, so that the energies can flow. When the energies flow, we feel physically more comfortable and meditation is easier.

Another part of the retreat will be meditation instruction. Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche will share with us his deep experience of meditation. He will teach a technique that we can use to settle our mind. This is an easy way to achieve a calm mind and maintain it.

Thes combination of these exercises can has an incredible effect on our daily lives. Doing these things empower us to approach our daily lives in a balanced and relaxed way, in order to focus on our true inner nature. This should be the foundation of every behavior of our life.
