SUMMARY:RAM : Ripa Awareness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nNovember 9 – 11\, 2018 \nREGISTER NOW \nHosted by Padma Ling Paris. Please visit their website for further information and to register . \nThe “Ripa Awareness Meditation” method was designed by Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\, an authentic master of Tibetan Buddhism of the Ripa lineage\, with an international reputation. \nIt is a simple and effective method that stabilizes the mind by using SHAMATA\, a millennial technique that uses breathing to develop “mental calm.” It then introduces aspects of VIPASSANA meditation\, or “penetrating vision\,” facilitating approaches that liberate the spirit from conceptual fabrication. \nThrough training\, RAM leads to more subtle aspects of the mind\, allowing a true exploration of the nature of phenomena and reality. \nBy welcoming our emotions\, our reflections\, and the habitual tendencies of our mind as they present themselves\, without judgment or rejection\, we gain access to a space conducive to a more authentic acceptance of ourselves and others. \nAttentive Presence and Mindfulness work together to help us accept life situations as they are\, and are the focus of our meditative practice. \nFor the event\, people wishing to eat on site can register for free online pre-bookings to indicate their preferences. \nNote that a minimum of 30 people is required to set up a catering service. \nIf we do not reach this number we will notify you before the event by phone. \nTwo meals are offered for lunch on November 10 and November 11. \nLunch is 23 euros with drinks and desserts. \n  \n  \nAbout the Teacher\n\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche was born in India in 1970\, the tenth day of the sixth month of the year of the Earth Monkey\, on the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche’s birth.

SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha : A Buddhist Approach to Health and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \nREGISTER NOW\nIllness\, which is an integral part of our lives\, is caused by an imbalance of our vital energies and the best remedy lies within ourselves: help re-establish harmony within those energies through meditating techniques that evoke our own healing resources. \nWe connect with nature through the five basic elements present in the universe and in ourselves. As long as balance is maintained within these elements\, we remain healthy\, while the abusive use of one element destroys the harmony necessary to our physical and mental constitution\, which is at the root of the problems that poison our life. \nThe practice of healing according to the Buddha of Medicine inspires us to work not only on an outer level\, but deep within ourselves\, thus balancing vital forces to bring inner harmony and outer health. \nGyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\, is a master of Tibetan Buddhism\, recognized in both Kagyu and Nyingma schools\, he is the spiritual director of the Ripa International Center. He has taught for more than twenty years in Europe in a particularly lively\, practical and contemporary way. \n\nNormal Price : $ 226.– / € 195.– \nReduced Price *: $ 186.– / € 160.– \n(*students\, seniors\, unemployed or members of Ripa and Padma Ling) \n  \nAbout the Teacher\n\n\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche was born in India in 1970\, the tenth day of the sixth month of the year of the Earth Monkey\, on the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche’s birth.

SUMMARY:Public Talk in Bern\, Switzerland – Life\, Death and Rebirth : A Buddhist Perspective Based on the Traditional Tibetan Teachings of the Bardo Thödal
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nNovember 1\, 2018 \nREGISTER NOW \nHosted jointly by the Ripa International Center with Die Quelle. Please register here on the Die Quelle site directly. \nCost: $25.00 \n  \nAccording to the Buddhist view of impermanence\, death is part of the natural process of birth\, aging\, dying and rebirth. Death is not considered as the end of life\, but merely as the passing away of the body that we inhabit. Our mind-stream will remain\, and our habitual tendency of yearning and attachment usually leads us to seek a new body\, a new life. How this next life will be and what form it will take is determined by the actions of past lives. \nProvided that we have become acquainted with the true nature of our mind through meditative practice\, the moment of death is a great opportunity to recognize and merge with our inherent clear light – our Buddha nature – and in this time we can become free from the wheel of cyclic existence (birth\, aging\, dying and rebirth). \nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation and philosophy teacher of the Kagyu and Nyngma lineages. Born in India in October 1970\, he is the successor to the spiritual lineage of the Ripa family\, a lineage of reincarnated lamas since the 17th century from eastern Tibet. He is the leader of the monasteries of the Ripa lineage in India and Nepal. He is also the spiritual leader of a Tibetan community living in exile in Orissa\, India. \nSince 1996\, Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche has been touring Asia\, Europe\, and the USA on a regular basis. There he lectures and gives seminars for a lay audience on various topics such as “Meditation for the modern world\,” “Eastern wisdom in the world today\,” “Goodness and creativity\,” “Authentic presence for executives\,” and so on. Rinpoche is the spiritual teacher of more than 6\,000 students around the world and has opened centers in Switzerland\, France\, Luxembourg\, Spain\, Germany\, Russia\, Japan\, and the USA. He is the spiritual director of the Ripa International Center\, the international center of the Ripa Lineage in the West\, located in Niederwangen b. Bern. (www.ripa-international.com). \nGyetrul Jigme Rinpoche is a socially engaged Buddhist teacher – as he is happy to be known – his immediate understanding of the human mind\, his lively and spontaneous style of speaking\, his freshness and sense of humor make him a valuable teacher in almost every situation. Especially when it comes to helping lay practitioners in a variety of situations integrate traditional spiritual values into modern life. \n  \nAbout the Teacher\n\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche was born in India in 1970\, the tenth day of the sixth month of the year of the Earth Monkey\, on the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche’s birth.

SUMMARY:Public Talk in Basel\, Switzerland : What is Reality?
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nOctober 31\, 2018 \nHosted by Padma Ling Schweiz.  \nWhat is reality? \nWake up … The Matrix has you … Follow the white rabbit … \nMaybe you know the movie “The Matrix”. Neo meets Morpheus and has the choice to see the truth or continue to live in the Matrix. The Matrix is a phantom world that distorts the view of reality that prevents him from seeing the truth. Or in the words of Morpheus\, “The Matrix is the world that was drawn over your eyes to blind you to the truth.” \nBut – what is the truth? Morpheus: “Talking about the truth does not let us see the truth. We have to experience it ourselves. ” \nAre we all living in the same reality? Does each of us perceive the same reality? Or does each of us wear our own glasses\, distorted with glasses in a variety of colors\, which distorts the true color of reality? Where is the difference between a dream and waking state? \nMaybe we are constantly numbing ourselves\, not just with drugs\, painkillers\, music\, movies\, books\, conversation\, but even with our own thoughts. We are constantly distracted. Most rarely are we authentic\, are we truly present. As soon as we are in this moment\, comes again the urge to distract one’s self. Perhaps this constant dispersion corresponds to life in the Matrix. Morpheus offers Neo two pills – one red and one blue pill. If Neo chooses the blue pill\, he lives on in his usual “reality.” If he takes the red pill\, he sees the reality without colored lenses – as it really is. \nThis evening\, Dungsey Gyetul Jigme Rinpoche will take us to the Buddhist perspective of reality. \nThe question is – which pill do you choose? \nFor details visit the Padma Ling Schweiz website : https://padma-ling.ch/event ; for questions\, please contact : info@padmaling.ch. \n  \n  \nAbout the Teacher\n\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nDungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche was born in India in 1970\, the tenth day of the sixth month of the year of the Earth Monkey\, on the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche’s birth.

SUMMARY:BBTR Yoga Fusion – Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release\, Infused with Different Yogic Techniques to Prepare the Body for Deep Breathing
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nUsing specific yoga poses from kundalini and Hatha yoga we will prepare the body and use powerful BBTR tools to unlock stored emotions and unresolved traumas. \nThese practices are used to help assist our human journey and to follow our dreams\, to clarify our life’s mission and purpose by clearing inner spaces\, and to ultimately find the expression of our voice and potential. \nIt is said that 90% of our pains\, stresses\, anxieties are linked to stuck emotions and unresolved trauma from the developmental and embryonic stages\, and from the different life experiences from birth to adulthood. \nDuring this retreat you will be able to increase your general awareness of the emotions stored in the body\, by allowing the yoga practice and powerful breathing approach to stimulate any stagnant areas in the physical body and subtle spaces and to allow your vital energy to flow. \nWe will use yoga poses to open the body and target the practice to increase the vibration of the chakras\, using a fluid kundalini practice working from the root chakra up to the crown chakra.  With specific hatha yoga poses we will ground and find balance and harmonise our mind and body. \nBBTR has a potential to release the effects of long unresolved traumas\, thus supporting general healing of our physical organism and psyche. Breath work can prevent an onset of debilitating and potentially life-threatening trauma-related diseases. Conscious use of breath by many existing breathwork modalities can help individuals to live with vitality and radiant health. \nBreathwork is a general term describing numerous available modalities that use the breath as a main tool for exploring alternate states of consciousness\, meditation as well as in therapy. \nPeople around the world\, seeing the power of it\, have used breath as a healing tool since ancient times. Even Latin words for breath and spirit are the same. Breathwork utilizes conscious manipulation or controlling of breathing patterns to achieve a certain desired results. The amounts of O2 and CO2 we take in\, expel or maintain in our blood levels have direct effect of on our physical bodies and well-being. Various breathwork modalities make use of scientific information available to us about effects of levels oxygenation on our organism. These modalities utilize special breathing techniques\, which support increasing or decreasing levels of oxygen in our body to achieve a desired result. \nA direct connection between our breath and our emotional responses is utilized by many existing Breathwork modalities. Many modern body-oriented psychotherapy modalities\, such as Bioenergetic Therapy founded by Alexander Lowen\, as well as mainstream therapies rooted in foundation of the work of famous body-oriented psychologist Wilhelm Reich use breath as one of their main tools. \nDANIEL ANNER \nI discovered Iyengar Yoga in San Francisco in 2002 after my studies in psychology. Since then\, I practiced different styles of yoga and trained annually with different world renown teachers in Ashtanga\, Iyengar and Kundalini Yoga. \nSince 2005\, I taught in many different institutions such as the World Economic Forum\, the World Trade Organization\, the Four Seasons Hotel\, the UNHCR\, a private clientele\, at the Geneva International School. I also teach at festivals in Chamonix\, Bali and Barcelona\, and am also dedicated to teach people in need as well as parents and children. Since 2007\, I have been training in Thai Massage\, Osteothai\, AcroYoga\, Craniosacral and Breathwork.  I love to learn about healing\, for myself and to help others find their way. \nIn 2010 I founded the Geneva Yoga Festival and helped launch different festivals in Geneva and Paraty in Brazil. \nI am fully dedicated to spreading my passion for holistic health and therapies\, and have organized many events for the last 10 years. \nI am changing my direction to focus on working deeply with people using yoga\, craniosacral therapy and BBTR approach in the form of individual sessions\, teaching collective groups and in festivals to follow my journey as a yogic healer\, letting go of the organiser hat. \nI look forward to share my skills with you during this intensive and transformative weekend. \nGoogle Calendar  ICS\n\nNormal price: 301 USD / 260 Euros \nReduced price: 278 USD / 240 Euros

SUMMARY:Summer Retreat 2018: Life\, Death and Rebirth – A Buddhist Perspective With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Summer Retreat 2018 :  27th July – 18th August  \nModule 1 : 27th July – 2nd August      Life\, death and rebirth: a Buddhist perspective \nBased on the traditional Tibetan teachings of the Bardo Thödol with Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \nModule 2 : 4th – 10th August             Taksham Yeshe Tsogyal Drupchö (5 days) \nWith His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Dungsey Lhuntrul Rinpoche \nModule 3 :  10th – 18th August           Hayagriva Drupchö (7 days) \nLed by Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Rinpoche\, in the presence of His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche and Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \n*** \nModule 1 :  \n27th July – 2nd August      Life\, death and rebirth: a Buddhist perspective \nBased on the traditional Tibetan teachings of the Bardo Thödol \nwith Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \nDuring this week of teachings\, Rinpoche will describe the process of death and the various stages of the Bardo\, and will give practical advice on how to best prepare for our own death as well as how to best accompany the dying. \nAccording to the Buddhist notions of impermanence and change\, death is a part of the natural process of birth\, old-age\, death and rebirth; it is not considered to be the end of life\, but merely the demise of the body we inhabit. Our mind stream remains and seeks out – through the craving of attachment –  a new body\, a new life. What that new life will be is determined by our past actions… \nProvided that we have familiarized ourselves with the true nature of our mind through meditative practice\, the moment of death is a great opportunity to recognize our inherent clear light and merge with it\, hence attaining liberation. \nArrival of participants on Friday\, 27th July at 4 pm \n3rd August                     Shitro Puja: 100 peaceful and wrathful deities puja \nWith His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Dungsey Lhuntrul Rinpoche \nShitro refers to the 42 peaceful and 58 wrathful deities. From an absolute point of view\, these lie within our mind stream. By familiarizing ourselves with them through the practice of the Shitro puja\, it becomes easier to recognize them at the moment of death\, and to seize this opportunity to merge with our Buddha nature. \n4th August                     Shitro Empowerment \nWith His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Dungsey Lhuntrul Rinpoche \nReceiving the Shitro empowerment purifies broken Samayas (practice commitments) and helps one go through the Bardo stages without fear and in full trust of recognizing the 100 peaceful and wrathful deities. It is said that even hearing the name of the 100 deities closes the door to rebirth in lower realms. \nTertön Karma Lingpa discovered the Shitro terma which is widely practiced by the Kagyu and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism. \nLingdro dances\, with the Swiss Tibetan Lingdro group \nProgramme ends on Saturday\, 4th August at 6 pm \nProgramme from 27th July till 4th August open to all \nPossibility to attend on Friday\, 3rd and Saturday\, 4th August (2 days) or to attend on 3 August or 4 August (1 day) separately from the rest of the programme. \nMore info: info@ripa-international.com \nOfficial registrations will open soon.

SUMMARY:The Way of Shamatha: Soothing the Body\, Settling the Mind\, and Illuminating Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Six Day Residential Retreat with Dr. B. Alan Wallace \nDuring this retreat\, we will explore in theory and practice a range of methods for developing meditative quiescence\, or shamatha. We will begin with the practice of mindfulness of the breathing as taught by the Buddha\, which is an especially effective approach to soothing the body and calming the discursive mind. We will then explore an approach to shamatha that is particularly pertinent for Dzogchen practice\, called “settling the mind in its natural state\,” as taught by the nineteenth-century Dzogchen master Lerab Lingpa in his commentary to the Heart Essence of Vimalamitra. Finally\, we will engage in the practice of “shamatha without signs” as taught by Padmasambhava in his classic terma Natural Liberation. Although this subtle practice is taught explicitly as a means of achieving shamatha\, Padmasambhava comments that it may even result in a realization of rigpa\, or pristine awareness. The achievement of shamatha is widely regarded in the Buddhist tradition as an indispensable foundation for the cultivation of contemplative insight (vipashyana)\, and this retreat is designed to provide students with a sufficient theoretical understanding and a basis in experience to enable them to proceed effectively toward this extraordinary state of mental and physical balance. \nDynamic lecturer\, progressive scholar\, and one of the most prolific writers and translators of Tibetan Buddhism in the West\, B. Alan Wallace\, Ph.D.\, continually seeks innovative ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices with Western science to advance the study of the mind. \nDr. Wallace\, a scholar and practitioner of Buddhism since 1970\, has taught Buddhist theory and meditation worldwide since 1976. Having devoted fourteen years to training as a Tibetan Buddhist monk\, ordained by H. H. the Dalai Lama\, he went on to earn an undergraduate degree in physics and the philosophy of science at Amherst College and a doctorate in religious studies at Stanford. \nWith his unique background\, Alan brings deep experience and applied skills to the challenge of integrating traditional Indo-Tibetan Buddhism with the modern world.
