SUMMARY:The Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct Session 4
DESCRIPTION:Thaye Dorje\, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa explains the importance of the Five Royal Sutras that make up the paths of practice. Among them\, the Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct\, also known as Samantabadhra’s Wishing Prayer\, represents the path of aspiration. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s wishing prayers are a model for all to follow. They are recited regularly by practitioners of all traditions and are a path that\, as Karmapa says\, “is a way of consciously dreaming.” \nAfter having clarified the meaning of the Heart Sutra\, which presents the path of view\, Trinlay Rinpoche will begin the detailed explanation of the second of the Five Royal Sutras. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						\n						Trinlay Rinpoche\, born in 1975\, was recognized as a tülku—manifestation of a Buddhist master—by the 16th Karmapa (1923–1981 C.E.). He brings together a Western academic education and in-depth Buddhist training under the guidance of eminent masters like the 14th Shamarpa. His dual culture\, his mastery of three languages (English\, French\, and Tibetan)\, and his ability to communicate the depth of Buddhist thought in an accessible way make him an exceptional teacher. \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Important\n•  Translations: This teaching is given in French.

SUMMARY:Victorious Meditation: Essential Instructions from The Samadhi Raja Sutra
DESCRIPTION:Meditation is often spoken of as a single\, uniform practice\, whereas in reality there are countless meditative techniques aimed at different goals. In Buddhism\, meditation is a tool for progressing toward a freedom that goes beyond simple relaxation. \nHowever\, for real progress to occur\, these methods must be combined with a deep understanding of how our mind functions and how we perceive the world. Phakchok Rinpoche explains how to acquire this right view. \nThe aim is to practice a form of meditation that has a genuine impact on our lives\, allowing us to evolve beyond all our dissatisfactions. To support his teaching\, Phakchok Rinpoche draws on the Samadhi Raja Sutra\, one of the major teachings of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition\, which shows how the combination of key factors such as bodhicitta and the practice of the paramitas is necessary for this process to be deeply transformative. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						\n						Phakchok Rinpoche belongs to the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters. Born in 1981\, he is recognized as the seventh Phakchok Rinpoche\, the incarnation of an eminent teacher and meditation master. He received ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and underwent extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and meditation\, studying with some of the most accomplished masters of modern times. \nHis main teachers were his grandfather\, Kyapje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche\, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. He completed his education at the Dzongsar Institute of Advanced Buddhist Studies in Bir\, India\, where he received the title of Khenpo. He travels worldwide\, teaching in Buddhist centers\, universities\, and monasteries\, from Asia to the United States\, from South Africa to Europe. \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Information\n• Course begins: Saturday\, August 29 at 10 am• Translation: this teaching is given in Tibetan and translated into French.

SUMMARY:The Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct Session 5
DESCRIPTION:Thaye Dorje\, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa\, explained the importance of the Five Royal Sutras that constitute paths of practice. Among them\, the Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct\, also known as Samantabhadra’s Wishing Prayer\, represents the path of aspiration. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s prayers are a model for all. \nRecited regularly by practitioners of all traditions\, they form a path that\, as the Karmapa says\, “is a way of consciously dreaming.” After clarifying the meaning of the Heart Sutra\, which presents the path of view\, Thinley Rinpoche continues the detailed explanation of the second of the Five Royal Sutras. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						\n						Thinley Rinpoche\, born in 1975\, was recognized as a tülku—manifestation of a Buddhist master—by the 16th Karmapa (1924–1981). He combines a Western academic education with in-depth Buddhist training under the guidance of great masters such as the 14th Shamarpa. His dual culture\, his mastery of three languages (English\, French\, and Tibetan)\, and his ability to communicate the depth of Buddhist thought in an accessible way make him an exceptional teacher.\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Information\n• Translation: this teaching is given in French.
