Creating
Peace in Times of Turmoil
Lama Tsering Everest
In difficult times, we often try to make sense of
a situation by identifying a victim and an aggressor.
Lama Tsering Everest discusses how important it
is to change our perspective if we wish to find
lasting peace and happiness. She points out that
the purpose of any authentic spiritual path is to
heal dualistic mind by discovering our inner wisdom
of absolute truth. Weaving teachings on the four
noble truths and the four immeasurable qualities
of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity, she introduces
methods for realizing the absolute truth of the
nature of mind. Lama Tsering concludes by skillfully
answering a number of questions on topics such as
the meaning of justice, dealing with anger and resentment,
and the meaning of karma. 2 hours.

Reflections
on Impermanence
Lama Tsering Everest once asked Chagdud Tulku
Rinpoche, "What is the meaning of life?"
His immediate response was, "To prepare to
die." As she recalls these words of advice
and many others from her teacher, she adds her
own insight to bring us to a deeper level of understanding
impermanence and its many implications. She discusses
the precious nature of one's own life and the
great opportunity that is available to a spiritual
practitioner at the moment of death, as well as
that which is beyond death and impermanence. Lama
Tsering concludes her talk by responding to questions
about how to best help others who are experiencing
the transition of death and how to cultivate the
power to truly benefit them. 2.5 hours. Now with
improved sound quality!

The
Dakini, the Lama, and the Landscape of Practice
On the most exalted level, the dakini is basic space
itself--emptiness, the source of phenomena. Since
no amount of discussion alone brings one to the
realization of such profound topics, Lama Tsering
Everest stresses that it is the student's faith
and the lama's blessing that make all aspects of
realization possible. She then gives a sweeping
overview of Vajrayana practice as the arena in which
the student-teacher relationship unfolds to spiritual
maturity. 1.75 hours.

The
Four Immeasurables
Lama Tsering bases this introduction to the four
immeasurable qualities--love, compassion, joy, and
equanimity--on the traditional Buddhist teaching
that all beings have been our mothers at some time
in our past lives. In a personal and direct way,
she discusses the difficulties that she and many
Westerners have encountered in trying to understand
this teaching, but points out that it is this very
teaching, when applied to our daily lives, that
gives rise to the four immeasurable qualities within
us. During a lively question and answer session,
Lama Tsering also gives a detailed teaching on relative
truth and absolute truth, and discusses the importance
of working with a spiritual teacher. 2 hours.

Relationships
in Spiritual Life
In the warm, direct, and humorous manner for which
she is known, Lama Tsering Everest discusses how
to make relationships an important element of spiritual
growth. Self-centeredness never leads to real fulfillment,
so out of need and with false hope we often look
to others for our happiness. But from the Buddhist
perspective, relationships are not about "getting";
they are all about giving selflessly, without expecting
anything in return.

The
Infallible Effects of Karma
With clarity and humor, Lama Tsering Everest discusses
karma and how it creates our samsaric reality. Calling
upon her own experiences, as well as stories taken
from her travels as interpreter for H.E. Chagdud
Tulku Rinpoche, Lama Tsering gives us practical
advice on how to purify our karmic habit patterns
using the powerful methods of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Through purification, we establish the conditions
that enable us to recognize the true nature of mind
to change our habits and accumulate merit and wisdom.

The
Perfection of Generosity
Lama Tsering speaks on the topic of generosity,
one of six perfections that are an essential part
of a bodhisattva's training. We strive to satisfy
our own needs out of self-interest, yet our desire
and attachment merely produce suffering. As an antidote
to this, we reduce our self-focus and practice being
generous to others. By eliminating the dualism of
self and other, we perfect generosity in an absolute
sense as a spontaneous expression of enlightened
mind. 1 hour.
