In his capacity as doctor of Tibetan medicine and as spiritual advisor, Tulku Lobsang gives consultations.
These 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 advice on how to treat imbalances through nutrition, movement and breath or meditation techniques. It is also possible to ask Tulku Lobsang questions regarding the own practice.

Often our lives seem complicated. As a result we feel stressed in our daily life. Both in our work lives and in our spare time - we feel stressed because we have so many things happening at the same time; or we think we do. Because of this stress we feel unwell, have little energy, suffer from sleeping disorders and some even from burnout syndrome or depression.

Often we cannot cope with situations and are over-challenged. One way to look at it is that it is we, ourselves, who create the problems and waste our time with unimportant things, whilst putting off the important things, like looking after our own welfare. Often we seek fault with others and try to change them. But how can we change our friends, family and fellow beings? It is far easier if we change ourselves. We have to learn to take decisions and to differentiate between unimportant and important things. Only this can help us to gain time, despite the supposed lack of time.

To overcome negative emotions and to practice love and compassion are the basis of the Buddhist teaching. When we give love and kindness to our fellow humans and live a compassionate approach towards all sentient beings, then we experience a deep feeling of happiness. This happiness is independent on exterior influences and disturbing factors, but it is all-embracing and unconditional. To be compassionate means to have the strong wish that all sentient beings might be free from suffering. When we practice compassion, then we empathize with our fellow humans and try to help, as far as it is possible for us; until the other one is freed from suffering.

In this seminar, Tulku Lobsang will share with us a simple practice of compassion. The goal of this practice is to reduce negative emotions and to open our heart to the feeling of love and compassion.

What we all see at this moment is the reflection of our ignorance. We always miss something, and therefore we always have a wrong view. This causes us great suffering. We are looking through the lens of the conceptual mind, which always has a shadow and limitations. We can’t see through it, which means that we can’t see the true nature of ourselves. We need to go deeper, to the deepest part of our mind. Once we reach it, we know everything and see everything without thinking. This is direct perception, like with the eyes. The eyes never think. They see all things at the same time.

The true nature of our mind is pure awareness - the wisdom that exists beyond all limitations and through which we can reach the state of omniscience and enlightenment.

During sleep and at the time of death we reach this state naturally but normally we don’t realize it. However, through practice and training it is possible to reach this state consciously. It is so powerful! When you reach it, you are free of the wrong view and have no suffering.
