Ven. Tenzin Gyurme Rinpoche is to explain the practice of ‘Tonglen’ - exchanging self for others - one of the main meditation techniques to develop genuine love and compassion that encompasses all living beings without exception, at Choe Khor Sum Ling Centre, Bangalore, on September 13, 2009
The essence of Mahayana Buddhism is developing the mind of great love and compassion that encompasses all living beings without exception. In order to do this we need to overcome the usual self preoccupations and tendencies.
One of the most efficient forms of training in altruism is Tonglen, a Buddhist meditation practice when one visualizes giving love, happiness and success to others and taking their suffering. This is done in conjunction with one’s breathing, for connecting with suffering —ours and that which is all around us— everywhere we go. It is a method for awakening the compassion that is inherent in each and every living being.
Tonglen reverses the usual logic of avoiding suffering and seeking pleasure and, in the process we learn how not to cling to our ego. This practice introduces us to a far larger view of reality known in Buddhism as ’shunyata’.
Venerable Tenzin Gyurme Rinpoche will explain how to practice Tonglen, how not to be afraid of giving away all your happiness and take others unhappiness. Rinpoche will demonstrate how through one’s own suffering one can develop compassion to all living beings.
Venerable Tenzin Gyurme Rinpoche is a highly respected incarnated lama from Sera Jey Monastic University located near Mysore. A brilliant student, Rinpoche has been studying Buddhist philosophy for more than 12 years by now, the teaching will be given directly in English.

This is to invite your organisation to participate in a *Public Workshop on
‘People’s Perspectives on Urban Governance and Planning’* on Saturday, 5th
September, 2009 in Bangalore.
This workshop is being organised by Citizens Action Forum (CAF), The
Concerned for Working Children, Environment Support Group (ESG), Grahak
Shakti, Hasiru Usiru, Institution of Engineers and Slum Jagattu and a few
concerned individuals and organisations committed to democratising decision
making and planning in Bangalore.
Bangalore has had a host of urban governance problems and issues due to
which the quality of life of a majority of Bangaloreans has been severely
affected. We have not had elections to the BBMP for 3 years, and the city is
being run by a body with only administrators with no elected representatives
and with no accountability to the public.
Meanwhile like in the rest of the country, in Bangalore the 74th Amendment
to the Constitution has not been implemented as well. While the Amendment
has welcome steps like the setting up of a Metropolitan Planning Committee –
which will be a single agency for co-ordination of all planning
and activities – this has not been implemented. The workshop will discuss
these problems and other issues like the setting up of privatised governance
bodies like ABIDe and their impact on Bangalore.
The *workshop will be held in Institution of Engineers, Ambedkar Veedhi on
Saturday, 5th September 2009.* We request your organisation to participate
in this workshop, which will be a first step in realising a truly people
centric governance structure in Bangalore, enabling each of us to play a
part in deciding our future.
Please find attached a detailed *Concept Note* about the workshop, and a
tentative *Session Plan*. We do hope you decide to join us.
Thanking you,
Citizens Action Forum, The Concerned for Working Children, Environment
Support Group (ESG), Grahak Shakti, Hasiru Usiru, Institution of Engineers
and Slum Jagattu

Free and Open Source software is one of the greatest tools in the hands of those who wish to challenge the notions of intellectual property (IP) and market-driven logics of human exchange. The Internet has opened up the space for a world-wide collective that believes in enriching each other’s lives through art and knowledge free from narrow conceptions of ownership and privilege. It has given rise to a new creativity on a global scale, from globally shared alternatives to profit-driven initiatives, towards a hope of re-inventing the commons in the 21st century.
