LoJong Meditation is a Tibetan Mayahan custom of Buddhism. Lojong refers to a significant change from a perspective in which we consider just ourselves, to a more illuminated point of view, in which we consider essentially others.

Tonglen is a Tibetan word that exactly means “giving and receiving”. This is a Buddhist meditation practice to grow sympathy, humanity, and courageousness. It also helps us by acknowledging our own worries and anger, dissolving decisions on ourselves and others.

Vajrasattva meditation practice is one of the best ways to remove negative karma from your life. Vajrasattva is the Buddha of sanitization. Through sanitizing our negativity our mind will increasingly become happier, our good behavior will boost and all our mental and physical problems will slowly vanish. During our connection with Buddha Vajrasattva we can reduce the awful behavior in our mind that reasons our troubles.

Lama Surya Das gives us a powerful process to take love beyond words and make it an enduring quality within.

Prayer is a conversation with God. It should be part of our spiritual journey, transforming confusion into clearness and suffering into joy.

Spirituality isn’t concerning convictions – it’s concerning the method we tend to live and direct our everyday lives. Spirituality is concerned with those qualities of the human soul – like love and sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness, enjoyment, a way of liability, a way of harmony – that brings happiness to both self as well as other people. Spirituality is an important part of faith. Spirituality is often outlined as the in progress endeavor to grow in our relationship with God.

Only one popular Buddhist teacher has written a book about prayer, and that’s Thich Nhat Hanh. Many Western Buddhists and mindfulness practitioners today seem unaware of the numerous prayerful traditions and practices of Buddhism in the old world.

The power of one is inconceivable; let's harness this strength and energy by empowering ourselves and each other to assume the high road of altruism, peacemaking, collaboration and lovingkindness in action. We are all first responders for someone. Let's remember the power of one.

It's a familiar joke, muses Lama Surya Das, and one that holds a profound truth: that in addition to inner peace, meditation is a path for all-inclusive connection.

An Introduction to Buddhism To do no evil; To cultivate good; To purify one's mind: This is the teaching of the Buddhas. --The Dhammapada

Every morning I wake and take a moment to appreciate the lovely view from my bedroom window. And every day, as I take in the stillness and beauty of my little pond and surrounding woods, I wonder: Who made all of this? Wordless gratitude fills my heart and mind, body and soul each day as I begin my morning ritual, and I sense the sacred Presence transcendent over all of us yet immanent in each and every one of us, by whatever name or image-ing.

Despite the unbelievable variety of scriptures, practices, languages, cultures and approaches, we find at the center of all the customs of Buddhism the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.

I have just returned from ten blessed, restful, delightful days with my dear old ashram friend and mentor, Baba Ram Dass, at his home on Maui, a truly magical and healing place. Spending time with RD is awe-inspiring. Every moment of enlightened conversation or carefree laughter, dinnertime meditation or sacred chanting, opens up new worlds. Memory-making, I cherished and filed away an abundant array of happiness data as well as stories and teaching tales from the Great Path.  

Most of us seem to live at a little distance from our body, or at best in our head. What we seek is right here; the problem is that we are usually elsewhere, distracted and dissociated, wandering mindlessly in the past or future. However, I can assure you that if you’re not here now you won’t be There then. This is karmic law, and the very essence of habit and conditioning.

What we seek, we are. We are all Buddhas by nature, temporarily obscured by adventitious emotions and illusions. We only have to awaken to that fact. All that we seek is available within. And not just within ourselves but within each other, each relationship, and encounter, each moment. Let’s exploit our own innate natural resources for a change, and give our exterior resources a rest. This would truly be Mindful Environmentalism and planetary stewardship. This world is my body, all beings my heart-mind.

A poor man asked the Buddha, "Why am I so poor?" The Buddha said, "You did not learn to give." So the poor man said, "But, if I don't have anything to give?"

We should not be taken in by the intensity of our latest spiritual epiphany while losing sight of the endless journey yet to be unfolded. I diagnose this seeker’s disease as “premature immaculation”, and it does crop up on this shore today: thinking we are there before we actually are. We may actually have gone far; and yet, there is still far to go.

Deluded, a Buddha is a sentient being; Awakened, a sentient being is a Buddha. Ignorant, a Buddha is a sentient being; With wisdom, a sentient being is a Buddha.

Twenty years ago, when there was quite a bit of troubling public news concerning dangerous cults among spiritual groups, I co-authored a white paper called "Spiritual Responsibility" with my Boston neighbour, cult deprogramming expert Steve Hassan.

Wisdom is a morality that is not innate, but can only be got through experience. Everyone who is interested in trying new things and thinks about on the process has the ability to gain wisdom. By learning as much as you can examine your experiences and putting your knowledge to the test, you can become a wiser person.

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

There are eight “Mindful Moment” exercises found in my newest book Buddha Standard Time, one for each chapter. These techniques offer advice and practices to incorporate into your day. They are tools which will allow you to begin to transform your old relationship with time, showing you how to slow down, be present, and embrace time’s infinite possibilities. “Mindful Moments” are designed to fit anyone’s lifestyle and do not require specific training or extensivetime. Below is a sampling of a “Mindful Moment.”

Recently I was invited to teach a weekend Dzogchen meditation retreat again at the Tibetan Mongolian Cultural Center in Bloomington, Indiana. While I was visiting we celebrated the spiritual director Arjia Rinpoche’s birthday.

I’m getting tired of hearing from Christopher Hitchens in the media, and his fervid and all-too-familiar religion-bashing. I happen to like the guy, and also very much appreciate such diverse opinions–he is brilliant, after all, and has some valid points, which is why I bother to read him–-but overall he goes way too far and keeps grinding the same ax ad nauseum. 

One of the questions most often posed to me is,”How can we find time to meditate and do yoga amidst our busy lives?”
