Awaken the Power
Power is our natural and unconditional nature. Deep within, every human being possesses an innate power that is not created through effort, practice, or something given by others. This power is already present within us. It is unborn, undying, and part of our true nature.
However, although this power exists within us, it often remains hidden. Therefore, we need to awaken it. In Buddhist understanding, there are simple and direct ways to open the door to this inner power.
One way is through changing ourselves. When we change ourselves, our perception and our relationship with the world naturally change as well. Instead of trying to change others, we learn to transform our own mind and actions. In this way, we discover that changing ourselves is one of the most powerful ways to bring positive change into our lives.
Another way to awaken our inner power is through love and compassion for others. When we genuinely care for others and cultivate love in our hearts, we naturally open ourselves to a deeper strength and warmth. Loving and helping others allows this inner power to grow and express itself.
In this special session, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche will share insights into how we can recognize and awaken this natural power within ourselves. Through simple explanations and reflections, he will guide us to discover how transforming ourselves and cultivating love for others can open the door to our true inner strength.
Tummo
Tummo is our wisdom fire. It is something we naturally have within our bodies. Through a combination of movements, breathing techniques and visualizations we generate the Tummo flame and spread it throughout the body. On a physical level the Tummo fire increases our self-healing powers. On an energetic level, it surges energy throughout our body. On the level of mind, Tummo is the source of love, joy, happiness and bliss.
Unfortunately, we begin to lose this warmth as we grow older. Then our hormones and essences automatically decrease as well. But this does not have to be! The Tummo practice reignites our inner fire.
Through the practice, the flame grows, starting from below the navel and rising higher and higher. This inner warmth softly penetrates each of the main chakras, spreading to all the branches and every pore of our body. Our chakras are secret doors through which we can access our bliss body (Sambhogakaya) and our clear light mind (Dharmakaya). Tummo is the key to open these secret doors. Entering through those doors means that we find our true home inside ourselves: we reach our innate Buddha nature - the perfect union of ultimate love and compassion.
Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche has an exceptional connection to Tummo, it is his true speciality. Rinpoche has received Tummo teachings and transmissions from different lineages and his deep understanding of this powerful practice makes him an incredibly skillful, wise and compassionate teacher. Tulku-la shares this secret practice openly, because he believes it can bring great benefit in these challenging times.
