From July 7 to 24<\/a>, we had the immense good fortune to welcome Khenpo Ch\u00f6drak Tenphel Rinpoche for the traditional summer retreat on the Buddhist Treasures of Knowledge.<\/em> In accordance with the instructions left by the 16th Karmapa, Khenpo Rinpoche has been teaching at Dhagpo since the first summer university in 1994.<\/a> This year he continued to explain the text by the great 8th-century Indian pandit Kamalashila on The Stages of Meditation (Bhavanakrama<\/em>), consisting of three short treatises.<\/p>\n In particular, Khenpo Rinpoche elaborated on the second treatise, which discusses the necessity of practicing both shamatha<\/em> and vipashyana<\/em>.<\/p>\n It explains that the practice of shin\u00e9 consists of making one\u2019s mind completely stable, like the deep ocean, and that when one then investigates the nature of this perfectly stable mind, that is where the practice of <\/em>vipashyana lies, which then serves to develop higher wisdom or higher knowledge. This wisdom can then completely eradicate all latent imprints that foster the development of afflictive obscurations and the clinging to reality.<\/em> Throughout the teaching, Khenpo emphasized every day the paramount importance of cultivating the enlightened attitude of bodhichitta: whatever our activity, the bodhisattva\u2019s commitment is to cultivate loving-kindness and great compassion\u2014that is, to be capable of working for the benefit of others with a mind imbued with equanimity. Studying the namthars (biographies) of the great masters can be an effective way to inspire us and dispel obstacles on the path.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Khenpo Rinpoche emphasized that Dhagpo Kagyu Ling\u2014which has been visited and blessed by the greatest noble beings of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the 16th Karmapa\u2014is \u201ca truly extraordinary place\u201d and \u201can excellent conducive place extremely conducive for the development of samadhi<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n At the end of the three weeks, the Institute\u2019s students expressed their deep gratitude to Khenpo Rinpoche\u2014his generosity, knowledge and wisdom are sources of inspiration for our study and practice throughout the year!<\/p>\n Here is a photo recap of these three weeks in the precious presence of Khenpo Rinpoche. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview<\/strong> in early September about his life and his unwavering commitment to sharing the Buddha\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”nextgen” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|25px|25px|25px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From July 7 to 24, we had the immense good fortune to welcome Khenpo Ch\u00f6drak Tenphel Rinpoche for the traditional summer retreat on the Buddhist Treasures of Knowledge.

La premi\u00e8re universit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a> avait eu lieu en 1994 selon les instructions laiss\u00e9es par le XVIe<\/sup> Karmapa.

Ce texte, constitu\u00e9 de trois courts trait\u00e9s, est intitul\u00e9 Les \u00e9tapes de la m\u00e9ditation (Bhavanakrama)<\/em>.<\/p> Khenpo<\/em> Rinpoch\u00e9 a notamment d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 le deuxi\u00e8me trait\u00e9 concernant la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de pratiquer \u00e0 la fois l\u2019entrainement de shamatha<\/em> ou shin\u00e9<\/em> (la qui\u00e9tude mentale) et de vipashyana<\/em> ou lhaktong<\/em> (la vision p\u00e9n\u00e9trante).<\/p> Il y est expliqu\u00e9, dit-il, que la pratique de shin\u00e9 consiste \u00e0 rendre son esprit compl\u00e8tement stable, \u00e0 l\u2019image de l\u2019oc\u00e9an profond, et que lorsque l\u2019on examine ensuite la nature de cet esprit parfaitement stable, c\u2019est l\u00e0 que r\u00e9side la pratique de<\/em> vipashyana, qui sert alors \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper une connaissance sup\u00e9rieure.
