Episode Summary

Pooja's conversation revisited with Buddhist teacher and author, Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche from his base in Lumbini, Nepal.

Episode Notes

“There is nothing more priceless than each and every moment of your breath”. Based in his home in Nepal, Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche shares with Pooja a wealth of knowledge and teachings relating to how to live a life of ease, joy, and authenticity.

Topics discussed include:

"When breathing is not burdened by fear or hope or driven by an agenda, so that breathing becomes natural, in that naturalness there is liberation, meaning you are able to find your true self."

"The way to be rich is to be free from attachment"

"Being able to relax, to remain at peace, is our purpose here on the Earth."

"Discontentment is like a war/battlefield in our minds"

More about H.E. Rinpoche

More:

The Mahasiddha Sanctuary for Universal Peace is under construction on the site adjacent to the Sacred Garden where Lord Buddha was born. The sanctuary will honour the Enlightened Ones who realized the way to peace within and peace without. It will serve as a radiant beacon, helping to inspire and guide individuals, communities, and nations toward harmonious coexistence and reconciliation.
The outer structure of the Sanctuary Shrine Hall evokes images of a lotus flower, a butter lamp, a stupa, and a mandala offering.
Further symbolism in the design of sanctuary:
—The golden finial represents the thirteen levels of accomplishment.
—The vast, immaculate space of the Sanctuary Shrine Hall conveys the timeless purity of Buddha’s enlightenment.
—The golden statue of Queen Mayadevi with the newborn Prince Siddhartha will honour all our mothers, who exemplify unconditional love for their children. This unconditional love is the source of all peace.
—The water pool that surrounds the sanctuary symbolizes great compassion for all sentient beings.
