Yet\, according to Tibetan Buddhism\, emotions are considered as trapped energy with the potential to be liberated and transformed into pure energy. Rather than rejecting them\, the tantric path offers us the possibility to welcome them and use them as the basis of our work on the spiritual path. Through the practice of meditation\, we are able to create a space whereby we can welcome our emotions and let them dissolve by themselves effortlessly. In this spacious openness\, the true nature of mind can reveal itself.\nIn Buddhism\, space is linked to the universal feminine principle\, represented in Tibetan Buddhism by the Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal.”\n– Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche URL:https://www.ripaladrang.org/event/the-feminine-principle-making-space-for-our-emotions/ LOCATION:The Ripa International Center (RIC)\, Hilfigweg 10\, CH – 3172 Niederwangen\, Bern\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ripaladrang.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/15000708/Picture-Dakini-Orissa-150x150.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150726T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150727T200000 DTSTAMP:20260525T022726 CREATED:20150412T003329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150412T003329Z UID:2261-1437926400-1438027200@www.ripaladrang.org SUMMARY:The Medicine Buddha Principle: The Healing Power of Meditation DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \nThe first of three public programs during the first week of the Ripa International Summer Retreat 2015 (complete dates: 25 July – 16 August 2015).

It is through merit that we gain insight and wisdom\, and eventually develop boddhicitta. \nInitially\, we develop merit by what we offer to others and to our environment. By developing\, cultivating and refining altruistic intent\, our attitude and motivation in giving\, we share the best of ourselves with others – it is what distinguishes us as human beings\, and as individuals\, and brings purpose\, even grace\, to what we do. Nobility develops by opening our hearts to others. \nAs one example of how a noble offering can transform others’ lives\, and bring sacredness to it\, the Boddhisattva Manjushri once stated that “If you live in a house decorated with flowers\, your mind will abide (in calmness) and attain (spiritual) fruit.” Thus a seemingly simple gesture of offering flowers can have a more profoundly positive impact than we may realize. By reflecting upon and developing what it is that we wish to offer\, our lives can be completely transformed through the richness we discover within ourselves\, and are then able to share with others\, if we are able to bring our gifts forth. \nAnd\, further\, by reflecting and gaining insight about the ultimate purpose of the opportunity of having a human life\, what the ultimate good could be\, complete enlightenment\, we might begin to more fully appreciate how incredibly fortunate we actually are.
