Khenpo Rinpoche, spiritual director of Tibetan Meditation Center (MD), leads participants in a simple but yet effective meditation, utilizing sound and imagination to purify our mental, verbal and physical dimensions of being. This technique of purification involves the sounding of the three sacred syllables - om ah hung - in a sequential manner, coupled with simple visualizations involving light and colors. Buddhists believe that this meditation can prevent and purify illnesses, heal and harmonize outer and inner imbalances. presented by Urban Dharma NC at Asheville Chocolate and Arts Festival 2012 www.UDharmaNC.com Urban Dharma NC is a new Buddhist center, a community-in-progress in western North Carolina.

Dr. Hun Lye shares with participants the essence of the Buddha’s teachings on cultivating the awakening mind of compassion, wisdom, and altruism as expressed in a famous mind-training (Tib. lojong) instruction by 11th century Tibetan Buddhist master, Geshe Langri Thangpa known as “Eight Verses for Mind-Training.” As one teacher explained: “The fundamental theme of mind training practice is the profound reorientation of our basic attitude, both toward our own self and toward our fellow human beings, as well as toward the events around us. The goal of mind-training practice is the radical transformation of our thoughts, attitudes, and habits. Presently, we tend to cherish the welfare of our own self at the expense of all others. However, the mind-training teaching challenges us to reverse this process. This involves a deep understanding of others as true friends, and the recognition that our true enemy lies inside of ourselves, not outside.” www.UDharmaNC.com Urban Dharma NC is a new Buddhist center, a community-in-progress in western North Carolina.
