Two Talks by the Venerable Changling Rinpoche

The Five Buddha Families:
Transforming Confusion into Wisdom
Monday, July 12, 7:30pm
Through the teachings of the five Buddha families, or wisdom energies, we learn to
recognize how we relate to our day-to-day situations using five different styles. Our
relationship to one or the other style influences how we perceive the world and work
with it, and can manifest in a neurotic or a wisdom-based manner. Changling Rinpoche
will discuss how we might recognize the wisdom aspect within our experience and
transmute the neurotic expression of the Buddha families into wisdom.
 
Training the Mind:  Lojong Practice
Tuesday, July 13, 7:30pm
The teachings on lojong, or training the mind, are essential teachings on developing
genuine compassion on the path of meditation, based on the seven points of training by
the 10th century Indian teacher, Atisha. The pithy slogans presented through this
training are as helpful and relevant today, as they were 1000 years ago.

Venerable Changling Rinpoche
was born in 1977 in India.  He is
a lineage holder of the Rechung
Kagyu and the Nyingma
Northern Treasure (Changer)
lineages of Tibet. Rinpoche
speaks fluent English and
travels widely, teaching with
clarity, humor and precision.
