This is a powerful meditation practice for receiving the shower of blessings, protection, guidance and wisdom from Guru Padmasambhava for oneӳ spiritual and worldly deeds that are virtuous. Guru Padmasambhava took the Buddhist teachings to Tibet and preserved the esoteric aspects of Buddhist teachings untainted in the Land of Snows. Meditating upon him leads to inner wisdom that unfolds the profound depths of the esoteric aspects of Buddhism and simplifies the teachings. He is known as the second Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism.

Guru Padmasambhava is regarded as the condensed essence of all the Buddhas making the appearance on earth after Gautama Buddha’s Parinirvana, as the Guru of Vajrayana to turn the fourth wheel of Dharma and guide practitioners of Vajrayana through specific instructions. The enlightened mind-stream of Guru Rinpoche is the combined expression of the innate compassion and wisdom of countless Buddhas from countless eons. In order to teach Dharma in general, and the Secret Mantra and Maha-Sandhi-Yoga (Dzogchen) in particular, Guru Rinpoche appears to beings of countless world systems in various forms suiting to the karmic dispositions of specific practitioners. In that way, Guru Rinpoche continues the miraculous Buddha-activities even in the degenerate times and remain accessible to every being.

Choe Khor Sum Ling Center celebrates HH the XIVth Dalai Lama’s birthday: Ven. Khangser Rinpoche to teach on “Calm Abiding Meditation” and “Healing through Purification” at the Center on July 6, 2008.
Choe Khor Sum Ling Center will have a special event to celebrate HH the XIVth Dalai Lama’s birthday, July 6, 2008: a teaching by Venerable Khangser Rinpoche on calm abiding (samatha) meditation and healing through purification according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Calm abiding (samatha) meditation is also known as single-pointed concentration. It is designed to enhance the ability to hold one’s mind on a single object or topic with clarity and stability for as long as the one wishes conjoined with mental and physical pliancy. The aim is to stabilize the mind, to strengthen its ability to focus, which in turn enables the mind to overcome problems at their root. Calm abiding meditation also helps to “become more alert and sharp in daily life and increases one’s power of memory”.
Khangser Rinpoche will reveal the methods for overcoming afflictive states and disorders to create a mind which is stable, calm and alertly clear, the states contrary to successful meditation, antidotes to be implemented and the signs to be looked for while meditating to identify the level of one’s development.
Rinpoche will also explain the Tibetan Buddhist approach to healing and purification: why one develops illness and how through the practice of meditation it is possible to heal and purify our minds and bodies. An actual healing ceremony will be performed after the teaching.

Venerable Bhikshu Khangser Rinpoche at the young age of 31, is among the foremost Buddhist scholars/practitioners of our time. Rinpoche is trained in the Old School (Nyingma) and New School (Sarma) traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and currently teaches at the Sera Jey Monastic University in South India. He also has experience in teaching non-Buddhist Indians and Westerners.

Choe Khor Sum Ling Center, Bangalore invites practitioners to take this rare opportunity to hear Rinpoche explain in easily understood terms the essence of samatha meditation and healing in the Tibetan Buddhism.
