Tulku Lobsang offers consultations. In his capacity as doctor of Tibetan medicine and as spiritual advisor he gives consultations. 

Consultations mainly start with a pulse diagnosis. In doing so the condition of the organs, the blood and the humours are examined. in this way chronic diseases can be diagnosed. Tulku Lobsang gives advises to treat imbalances through nutrition, movement and breath or meditation techniques. It is as well possible to ask Tulku Lobsang questions regarding the own practice.

Our Mind has an incredible power to heal any pain or suffering. We all want a healthy and happy life, but for True Healing, we need to develop deep compassion for ourselves. This compassion relates especially to all the things we do not like about ourselves.

There are always things going on in our lives that we do not want. The truth is however, that life is continuously changing, nothing is fixed or static in life. The same goes for healing, True Healing does not mean finding a solid solution or a final remedy. True Healing is letting go of judgement and learn to relax with the totality of life including the pain, sadness, beauty, and joy. We can heal the body and the mind simply by being what we truly are and by connecting to our innate healing qualities.

In this lecture, Rinpoche will guide us on the path of awakening our self-healing power and teach us meditation- and visualisation practices from the Tantrayana Buddhist Wisdom.

We are completely busy chasing happiness. We run after happiness, always feeling a step behind, not ever catching it. This makes us so busy! We overcomplicate things when they could be much simpler.

Happiness is always there, we just need to realize it. We need to realize that happiness is within us. Whatever we find externally is only a temporary happiness; one day it will be gone. This is why it is so important to realize that happiness is already there. It can never leave because it is our nature. 

In this day, Tulku Lobsang will share with us a simple practice of meditation on happiness. The goal of meditation is to reduce negative emotions as anger, jealousy or hatred. For that first we need to observe our mind. We need to watch our thinking and acting critically, for being able to overcome the state of ignorance and reach wisdom. Selfishness and ego have to be overcome, for being able to develop positive mental state and a peaceful mind. Meditation is a precious gift.

One of the most important principles of Buddhism is the deep conviction that boundless love and compassion are our true and deepest nature. When we are in our most natural state - that is, without external influences, but also without being inwardly churned by emotions - so if we have a calm and clear mind, then we do not want to harm anyone, but help others. And that in a very natural way. At that moment we are also happy in a very natural way.

The purpose of Buddhist practice is to discover this our true nature. And for that we need a method, a practice, similar to this nature. For this reason we practice loving kindness and compassion in daily life. In this process it is important to develop these for yourself first. This is often particularly difficult for people in the Western world. But only those who have loving kindness and compassion for themselves can also develop true love and compassion for others.

At this retreat, Tulku Lobsang will introduce us to this wonderful subject. We will learn the meditation of loving kindness and compassion that gradually brings us closer to our true nature of boundless love.
