This event is a special opportunity to receive teachings directly from His Holiness Kenting Tai Situ Rinpoche, the Supreme Head of the Palpung Monastic Seat and the living root guru of Mingyur Rinpoche. Tai Situ Rinpoche will teach us about the perfect, incorruptible true nature of all sentient beings and other essential points of tantra.  

Tantra=ONE ASPECT OF THE TEACHING OF LORD BUDDHA WHICH REPRESENTS THE ESSENCE OF ALL TEACHINGS OF BUDDHA

Heart of Tantra= go back to aspiration of buddha 2600 yrs back when he attained buddha hood in bodhghaya under the bodhi tree

every sentient being in space – from highest in gods to lowest of all living creatures – has potential

Each one of us is capable to be absolutely free and capable of attaining buddhahood

We are all equal in potential to be free and develop our inherent essence and ultimate nature 

Definition of Tantra

-ultimately at all times and beyond times, nothing is happening and nothing has ever happened to anyone and anything thru out the universe

-it means relatively, all kind of countless immeasurable things are happening to everyone and everything throughout the universe, relatively. 

-to identify these things that are happening to all of us, in our surroundings, this reality has to be personally addressed to understand by each of us

we manifest our body our speech our mind

as long as we live in this body, this perception and state of mind is relevant in our mind

all kinds of expressions including speech manifest from it

mind is the control

but sometimes when mind is not clear, it can become slave to our speech emotions thoughts

if we indulge in our physical habits, our thoughts and emotions become immature because definition of indulging is more than necessary and not essential

Heart of Tantra= make us efficient for our sake and everyone around and everything around us

the whole world entire universe is our bigger body, interconnected with our body

speech= expression 

mind at ease: that mind which is content that i m ok, he is ok, all is ok, it becomes less overwhelming : that is basic contentment

when we have this contentment, we can handle everything , our own shortcomings sufferings and others’ more efficiently

otherwise we make things worse for ourselves and others

you don’t have to do anything to make things better for anyone ultimately

because ultimately it will be perfect

relatively we experience so many things, it may not be perfect

practise of silence

temporary stop : overcoming the imperfections of our speech; just calm down and relax

you physically don’t indulge with anything

no chance for physical activity

gradually we progress

a good practitioner: clearness of mind will resonate thru clearness of speech and clearness of activity 

maintain this then we progress and in a way that perfect action and speech and thought become a natural second nature

we all have bad habits, but that is not human nature

human nature is perfect

human shortcomings thru practice and cultivation the perfection and goodness and correctness becomes second nature, closer to ultimate primordial nature

all obstacles obscurations are relative and temporary and but the outcomes of past imperfect intentions and actions, therefore one has to purify those outcomes of the past 

ie past karma 

karma in sanskrit means activity

all is interconnected and interdependent 

what can we do?

the sacred words are called mantra which are the sacred method to realise the essence of the mind which manifests through speech and activity and action

ie 

three kaya

dharmakhaya: the ultimate primordial essence of buddha all buddhas. The Body of Truth. The ultimate body, the absolute.

• Sambhogakaya: The Body of Enjoyment. …
• Nirmanakaya: The Body of Emanation.

ultimate essence of your mind is most important, appreciate understand uphold cherish it don’t let it be contaminated relatively
