Refund and Event Policies

We are happy to welcome back to InsightLA beloved teacher H.E. Dza Kilung Tulku Jigme Rinpoche. Rinpoche is the head of the Kilung Monastery in the Dzachuka region of Kham, Tibet and author of “The Relaxed Mind.

Rinpoche will be offering teachings on the seven points and 59 slogans of the Lojong mind-training as support for practice on and off the cushion.  Although over 800 years old, the slogans feel like a modern-day wake-up call to clarify our View, practice Meditation, and attend to our Actions.

The slogans begin with the preliminary understanding of the preciousness of our human birth and remind us of the urgency to practice as though nothing else matters so that we can transform our hearts and mind to be of benefit to ourselves and others. Our rare and precious human lives are so hard to obtain and so easy to lose, and there is nothing more important than our actions and their consequences – as taught by Padmasambhava, while we keep our “View as vast as the sky, we keep our conduct as fine as barley flour.”  

The slogans serve as a spiritual friend, reminding us to repeatedly orient to the dharma while also providing us with self-correction instructions when we find we’ve strayed off the path. They provide dependable meditation teachings on how to gain confidence in absolute bodhichitta, our innately and constantly responsive, luminous, and awakened heart-mind. They also train us in relative bodhichitta, eliminating our habitual self-cherishing by exchanging ourselves for others.  

Dana for this event will go towards rebuilding the new Kilung Shedra, a Children’s School and Community Center in Tibet, which will allow Tibetan children and monks to return to the Kilung Valley to study and be educated close to home. It will accommodate not only the present and future needs of Vajrayana students in a far-reaching community but also provide expanded space for a children’s school, medical and health care, and community development activities.  For more information on the Kilung Shedra, you can visit http://www.kilung.org/kilung-shedra/ or watch a video click here.

There will be a break in the middle. 

All Donations for this event go towards The Kilung Foundation at Work. Please consider giving generously.
