Today was my 6th annual teaching visit as a guest lecturer at Holy Names Academy, a historic all-girls Catholic preparatory school on Capitol Hill here in Seattle. They have been educating & empowering young women since 1880. I shared my life story, then taught them the 10 syllable Green Tara mantra and afterwards we discussed the 6 Perfections. Each of the students identified which of the 6 Perfections they most need in their lives at the moment. I would like to express my gratitude for the Generosity of the academy’s teachers for continuing to invite me to share the Dharma with these exceptional young women & I would like to express my admiration for the student’s Diligence in their studies! May you always be blessed with success, good health & peace of mind!
Yesterday Ven. Khen Rinpoche Jampa taught the practice of Calm Abiding Meditation to 25 students in Long Island, New York. The weather was beautiful & calm for the duration of the teachings, reflecting the illuminating & pacifying power of the practice of meditation! Ven. Khen Rinpoche Jampa was quite pleased to have the opportunity to share his learning with fellow students of the Buddhadharma and thanks everyone involved in organizing, preparing for & setting up the teaching event!
Ven. Khen Rinpoche Jampa will travel to New York City in July and on Saturday, July 11th he will bestow a teaching on the practice of Calm Abiding Meditation. Calm Abiding Meditation, known as Shamatha (शमथ) in Sanskrit, is a foundational Buddhist practice that cultivates peace in the heart & mind of the practitioner. This teaching is open to the public.
