The Six Lokas

with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

In the Bön and Buddhist tradition it is said there are 6 Realms (Lokas): Hell Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, Animal Realm, Human Realm, Demi-God Realm and God Realm.  These meditations developed by masters of the past focus on the root causes (karmic seeds) of our suffering: anger, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and laziness — the six destructive emotions which are the obstacles to the enlightenment. In each meditation we reflect upon our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them rather than be driven by them. We then invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns, giving rise to their antidotes of love, generosity, wisdom, openness, peacefulness, and compassion. We develop the sincere aspiration that we and all other beings cease to suffer in these ways. The practices of the Six Lokas have a deep healing and transformative power and are traditionally practiced as a preliminary to Dzogchen contemplation. The purpose of this practice is burning the karmic seeds of suffering.

RETREAT

Living with Joy, Dying in Peace (Part 1)

with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The key to living fully, with joyful presence, is to relate intimately to the truth that sooner or later all life comes to an end.

Death is inevitable and unavoidable; but in our Western society there is a tendency to deny our own mortality. This denial not only separates us from the vibrancy of living in the moment, it also leaves us ill equipped for the critical moment when death comes to ourselves or to our loved ones. The Bön Buddhist tradition is rich with knowledge and methods for using this Great Moment wisely. Through teachings and guided meditations, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will help us to be prepared for it.
Venue: Festival Hall, Kundmanngasse 20, 1030 Vienna
