- Words of Wisdom
  
  Words are concepts, but the right words can take us beyond concept. May reflection upon these words expand your understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the world we live in together.
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.

One of the most meaningful journeys a Buddhist can make is a pilgrimage. It is a means for accumulating merit and for opening one‘s heart and mind to accept whatever may come. This pilgrimage is especially auspicious because we make it together with our precious teacher, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche. It is a truly rare gift for any student to be able to make a pilgrimage with their teacher.

During this pilgrimage, Rinpoche will be teaching Lu Jong – Tibetan Healing Yoga and Meditation. Lu Jong is an ancient Tibetan practice. The physical exercises were developed to activate the body's own self-healing powers on a physical level. The teachings during the pilgrimage will offer the special opportunity to study and practice Lu Jong with Tulku Lobsang himself within the unique conditions only as ancient and rich a kingdom as Bhutan can nestle us in. Rinpoche will focus on the wonderful symbiosis of Lu Jong and meditation. Through intensive joint practice we can experience first-handedly the profound effect of Lu Jong and meditation on our body and mind.

In addition, we will also be given the precious and once-in-a-lifetime chance to receive a Medicine Buddha Empowerment as well as Mahamudra Teachings by His Holiness Kyapgon Ngawang Tenzin Rinpoche.

His Holiness is the reincarnation of the great Yogi Rigzin Jinpa Gyaltsen - the holder of the secret doctrines - and one of the highest Buddhist Masters in Bhutan. He had been the Master of Philosophy and Logic at Pungthang Dewachen Phodrang (Palace of Great Happiness) or Punakha Dzong since he was forty-five years old. He later chose to live a life of simple renunciation in a small hut where he meditates and practices. As a result of his unwavering practice, he has brought great benefit to the Bhutanese community. Among the many masters and teachers who have been instructed, taught and empowered by him, is also Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche – who will be introducing us to him: what an honor!

The practice of Medicine Buddha, or ‘The Supreme Healer’ (Sangye Menla in the Tibetan language) is not only a very powerful method for healing and increasing healing powers both for oneself and others but also for overcoming the interior ailments of attachment, hatred and ignorance, as well as eliminating obstacles to good health, happiness, longevity and harmony.

Mahamudra, or Chagyachenpo in Tibetan, refers to the true nature of our mind or the essence of our mind. It is the heart essence of all the teachings of the Buddha, since recognizing the essence of our mind is essential to liberate us from the endless cycle of samsara. Receiving Mahamudra instructions from an authentic meditation master and practicing accordingly is deeply beneficial for those aspiring to achieve enlightenment.

This pilgrimage leads us to the perfect place for practicing Lu Jong and Meditation as well as receiving the Medicine Buddha Empowerment in addition to Mahamudra Teachings: Bhutan, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Perched high on the mighty Himalayan range, the kingdom of Bhutan has defied globalization and chosen to remain a hidden paradise: having retained its pristine environment, it is home to exotic wildlife and the last bastion of Mahayana Buddhism with its sacred monasteries sitting precariously on sheer cliffs.

Happiness is a place, after all – and this place will significantly and meaningfully contribute and enhance our joint practice times, while opening our hearts and letting our personalities thrive.
