The Power of Thought | LECTURE
our experience of the world is shaped not by what happens to us, but by how we think about it. when we understand that life is a reflection of our thoughts, we begin to see the profound power they hold. a small shift in thought can bring a big shift in how we live.
drawing on the wisdom of Tantrayana Buddhism, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche shows how we can transform our inner landscape by changing the way we think. when we recognize the creative force of the mind, we stop trying to change the external world and instead learn to create ease, clarity, and joy from within.
in this lecture, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche will explain how thoughts shape reality and will provide us with tools to become more conscious of our thinking. through his profound yet accessible approach, Rinpoche will show us how to use the power of thought to create a more meaningful, peaceful, and awakened life.

Seven Forms Of Yogic Food – True Nourishment for Body and Mind | WORKSHOP
what if nourishment went far beyond food?
join Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche for an enriching workshop on the “Seven Forms of Yogic Food”, an insightful journey into understanding and nurturing the various forms of nourishment that sustain both our body and mind:
• food of elements – physical nourishment through food and drink.
• food of contact – the people and environments we interact with.
• food of mental engagement – cultivating mental well-being and happiness.
• food of sleep – understanding and improving our rest.
• food of pure conduct – the power of practice and virtue.
• food of equanimity – achieving balance and harmony.
• food of consciousness – the pinnacle of transformation, where the mind shifts.
in this workshop, Rinpoche will give introductory teachings on these different forms of nourishment and provide us with practical tipps and methods on how to improve the quality of “food” in our life – leading to noticeable positive changes in our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Shiné – Traditional Tibetan Shamatha Meditation | WORKSHOP
Shiné – Traditional Tibetan Shamatha Meditation” is a practice which is peaceful and powerful at the same time. it aims to calm our mind and train it in a way so that it transforms from its usual active and agitated state into a calm and clear one that gradually allows for awareness to arise. as a result, our mind becomes more peaceful and less disturbed by both internal factors like thoughts and emotions, and external factors, like a stressful environment.
knowing both – what is possible and what the challenges are – one can create a very effective program for training the mind and eliciting its natural powers. this is exactly what the Tibetans have done. they have forged a path that leads unquestioningly toward a calm, clear, highly aware mind that is ready to receive the highest realizations. the process to reach there is to first train our mind to be stable and functional. then, with this stable mind, we do contemplative practices and receive insights into the nature of reality.
in this workshop, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche introduces us to the precious Shiné method. we will also practice together, so that we can start to experience this authentic Tibetan Shamatha meditation first-hand.

Tummo – The Wisdom Fire | RETREAT
Tummo is our wisdom fire. it is something we naturally have within our bodies. through a combination of movements, breathing techniques and visualizations, we generate the tummo flame and spread it throughout the body. on a physical level the tummo fire increases our self-healing powers. on an energetic level, it surges energy throughout our body. on the level of mind, tummo is the source of love, joy, happiness and bliss.
unfortunately, we begin to lose this warmth as we grow older. then our hormones and essences automatically decrease as well. but this does not have to be! the Tummo practice reignites our inner fire.
through the practice, the flame grows, starting from below the navel and rising higher and higher. this inner warmth softly penetrates each of the main chakras, spreading to all the branches and every pore of our body. our chakras are secret doors through which we can access our bliss body (sambhogakaya) and our clear light mind (dharmakaya).
Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche has an exceptional connection to tummo, it is his true speciality. Rinpoche has received Tummo teachings and transmissions from different lineages and his deep understanding of this powerful practice makes him an incredibly skillful, wise and compassionate teacher. Tulku-la shares this secret practice openly, because he believes it can bring great benefit in these challenging times.

about teacher

Tulku Lobsang founded the Nangten Menlang Buddhist Medical organization. Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche travels the world offering methods of teachings for improving our physical, mental and energetic health. with his warmth and wisdom, he opens our minds and hearts and connects us to our own innate wisdom.
What will we learn?
Tsa Lung is a practice that works intensively with our subtle body. By combining special breath retention techniques with physical movements and visualizations, we move our wind-energy throughout the body, allowing it to reach deep places and open more and more subtle channels. When the wind flows freely, this energy can be used for self-healing or can be given to others.
This physical practice is very dynamic and powerful. Breath retention makes it even more challenging. However, it is very important that we train the breath. As we become older our breathing becomes more and more shallow. Therefore, we need to relearn how to breathe deeply. This is a method for coming into a deep stillness of the mind.
