led by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche
With compassion and insight, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will reveal during this
weekend retreat how the ancient teachings of Buddhism can be applied to
the modern world. Rinpoche focuses on the direct experience of
recognizing and embracing the nature of our feelings and perceptions. The
quality of our minds, he says, depends on the quality of the seeds in our
minds. Buddhism teaches us how to nourish the seeds of joy and
transform the seeds of suffering so that our understanding, love, and
compassion can flower.
Ringu Tulku Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist Master of the Kagyu Order. He
was trained in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism under many great masters
such as HH the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and HH Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche. He
took his formal education at Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, Gangtok and
Sampurnananda Sanskrit University, Varanasi, India and has served as
Professor of Tibetology in Sikkim for 17 years. His doctoral thesis was on
the Ecumenical Movement in Tibet.
Since 1990 he has been traveling and teaching Buddhism and Meditation
at more than 50 Universities, Institutes and Buddhist Centers in Europe,
USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. He also participates in various interfaith
dialogues. He authored several books on Buddhism as well as some
children's books both in Tibetan and European languages.
He founded Bodhicharya, an international organization that coordinates
the worldwide activities to preserve and transmit Buddhist teachings, to
promote intercultural dialogues and educational and social projects.
