The instructions for cultivating them within each of us are explained in this Teaching. Recognised as one of the most accomplished Buddhist Masters, His Holiness will deliver these teachings based on his own profound and authentic experience of compassion, loving kindness and inner peace.

As Archbishop Desmond Tutu recently has stated, “His Holiness the Dalai Lama is not simply a holy man. He is recognized throughout the world as one of our few true moral authorities. He is a teacher who has shown us all how to live our lives with compassion, non violence and love.”

Buddhists and non Buddhists alike, come away profoundly moved and motivated to take responsibility and create positive changes in their lives.

Public Talk: Our Future, Who is Responsible

Thursday 3rd December 2009, 2pm 4pm
Sydney Entertainment Centre

Event Information

In a world that confronts us each and every day with difficult and often upsetting situations, the wisdom of the Dalai Lama challenges us and invites us to seek alternatives which not only achieve our own well being but which also contribute to the good of all.

His Holiness advocates for individual and universal responsibility. This is his message, the very basis of his teachings and those of the Buddha. During the Sydney public talk His Holiness will present, demonstrate and discuss our 2009 visit theme, how responsibility for our future lies with each of us.

Our Future, Who is Responsible? is about helping people to become aware of their individual responsibility as global citizens for their own actions, the world in which they live and for all other living beings they share it with.

The Dalai Lama makes no claim to be anything other then a ‘simple Buddhist monk’ but his practical advice for living and working in these current times, is highly sought after and universal.

Do not miss the opportunity to hear one of the most respected and thoughtful figures of our time. Reconsider what is important to you and how you can make a difference to Our Future.

Teaching in Washington, DC, USA on October 10: His Holiness will give a half-day morning teaching on The Heart of Change: Finding Wisdom in the Modern World organized by the Conservancy for Tibetan Art and Culture.

Contact Website: www.dalailamaDC09.com

To listen to recorded information, please call 202-399-2988

Schedule:

The Heart of Change: Finding Wisdom in the Modern World
9:30 to 11:30 AM

In this two-hour teaching in the nation’s capital, His Holiness the Dalai Lama will explore the power of the human mind within the Tibetan Buddhist framework of View, Meditation and Action.

His Holiness will help us gain clear sight of our true nature, luminous and aware, and a deeper understanding of the Buddhist view of reality, with its unique comprehension of the subtle nature of interdependence.

That correct view, clarified by meditation, leads us to powerful, informed action. Wise action, in turn, helps us achieve meaningful lives and a positive impact on our profoundly interdependent world.

The unique tools arising from Buddhist wisdom provide us with precise and effective methods to achieve transformative spiritual development, leading to our ultimate goal of lasting happiness for ourselves and others.

(His Holiness the Dalai Lama is scheduled to depart at 11:30 AM)

*****

Using Wisdom as the Heart of Change
2:00 to 5:00 PM

Right understanding forms the heart of change. Flowing from correct understanding, inner change helps us acquire true power, positively transforming our lives and our world.

An afternoon of dynamic, accessible and practical presentations by accomplished spiritual leaders, scholars, philosophers and social activists, will clarify, deepen, and stabilize our understanding of the morning’s teaching by His Holiness, and inspire us as we journey on the path to wisdom, compassion and lasting happiness.

Our honored speakers include , among others, Her Eminence Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche; Thupten Jinpa, PhD, translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama; Charles Raison, MD, of Emory University’s Mind-Body Program; and Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, PhD, senior lecturer in Religion and director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership.

• Session One on View will provide commentary on His Holiness’ teachings, illuminating how one’s view affects one’s life.
• Session Two on Meditation will feature present applications of meditation which have significantly benefited individuals, groups and communities.
• Session Three on Action will emphasize audience interaction through an extended period of questions and answers; the focus will be on translating ideas into action and helping people understand how the synergy of view, meditation, and action can transform their lives.

Speakers:

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama will present the morning teaching, Finding Wisdom in the Modern World.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is both the head of state and the spiritual leader of Tibet. He was born on July 6, 1935 in northeastern Tibet and was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two. His Holiness began his monastic education at the age of six. At 23 he was awarded the Geshe Lharampa degree, the highest-level degree equivalent to a doctorate of Buddhist philosophy. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. His Holiness has traveled to more than 62 countries, spanning 6 continents.

In 1950 His Holiness was called upon to assume full political power after China’s invasion of Tibet in 1949. In 1959, with the brutal suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in Lhasa by Chinese troops, His Holiness was forced to escape into exile. Since then he has been living in Dharamsala, northern India, the seat of the Tibetan political administration in exile.

A frequent visitor to Washington, DC, His Holiness proposed the Five Point Peace Plan for Tibet in his 1987 address to members of the United States Congress. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007, in recognition of his message of peace, non-violence, inter-religious understanding, universal responsibility and compassion.

Tsoknyi Rinpoche III

Tsoknyi Rinpoche is one of those rare teachers whose lighthearted yet illuminating style appeals to both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. He is truly a bridge between ancient wisdom and the modern mind. Widely recognized as a brilliant meditation teacher, RInpoche has authored two books, Carefree Dignity and Fearless Simplicity, and retains a keen interest in the ongoing dialogue among Buddhist practitioners, scholars and western researchers, especially neuroscientists.

His Holiness the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa recognized Tsoknyi Rinpoche III (the present incarnation) as the reincarnation of Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche II. He is a renowned master of the Drukpa Kagyu and Nyingma traditions and holder of the Tsoknyi Lineage, which is based on Ratna Lingpa’s termas. Rinpoche was born into an unbroken father-to-son lineage of realized Dzogchen masters. His great-great-grandfather was the treasure revealer Chokgyur Lingpa, and Rinpoche was trained in that family tradition by his father from an early age.

Rinpoche was born in 1966 and was recognized as a tulku at the age of eight. The spiritual head of two nunneries and one monastery in Nepal and one of the largest nunneries in Tibet, Rinpoche also heads over 50 practice centers and hermitages, with over 2,000 nuns and 900 monks that practice the Tsoknyi and Ratna Lingpa Lineages in the eastern region of Tibet (Nangchen). Ngesdön Ösel Ling Monastery in Kathmandu is his seat in the East, and Yeshe Rangsal in Crestone, Colorado, is his seat in the West.

Her Eminence Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche is one of the most renowned Tibetan teachers currently teaching in the West. Born into the Mindrolling lineage, which throughout its history has had many accomplished female masters, Rinpoche was recognized at the age of two by His Holiness the 16th Karmapa as the re-incarnation of the Great Dakini of Tsurphu, Khandro Ugyen Tsomo, who was one of the most renowned female masters of her time.

Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche has been teaching internationally for sixteen years and teaches extensively in both Europe and North America, offering teachings from both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools. She has also established and heads the Samten Tse Retreat Centre in Mussoorie, India which provides a place of study and retreat for monastics and Western lay practitioners, where students from East and West live together in spiritual community. Currently 52 nuns and 30 western students are in residence at Samten Tse.

As president of Samten Tse Charitable Projects, Rinpoche heads various charitable projects and sponsorships including sponsorship of the elderly, Tibetan Women’s development projects, Tibetan youth projects, The Leprosy Project, retreats for Buddhist practitioners and numerous community development projects. Rinpoche is also actively involved with the Mindrolling Monastery in India.

Lotus Garden Retreat Center, the North American Seat of Mindrolling International was established by Her Eminence Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche in 2003. Rinpoche’s vision of Lotus Garden is as a place of study and practice of the Buddha Dharma with the aspiration in particular to assist in the flourishing of the Mindrolling Lineage teachings.

Adam Engle, J.D., M.B.A. CEO and Chairman, Mind and Life Institute Jacquelynne S. Eccles, Ph.D. University of Michigan Session One: Envisioning the World Citizen Thursday, October 8, 2009 • 9:15am–12pm Speakers HH Dalai Lama Marian Wright Edelman, J.D. Panelists Matthieu Ricard, Ph.D. Linda Darling-Hammond, Ed.D. Jacquelynne S. Eccles, Ph.D. Moderator Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. Interpreter Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D. Compassion and empathy are fundamental to moral and character development and to any vision of a kinder, more just, and more caring society and world. Complex emotions that embody an awareness of one’s interconnection with others, compassion and empathy serve as a foundation for altruism, cooperation, helping, and other prosocial behavior. The Dalai Lama notes that human beings have a natural propensity for compassion and empathy but “need specialized training” to extend this feeling beyond the immediate circle of family, friends, and others we identify with closely. A key challenge in educating world citizens is expanding this circle of concern to encompass the wider, interdependent world in all its diversity. Educational strategies that aim to build respect for diversity may be most effective when focused both on the value and experience of such diversity, as well as on deep commonalities in the human experience that transcend culture (e.g., the desire of happiness). Contemplative traditions have approached compassion as a learnable skill that ideally develops into an enduring positive quality, transforming our automatic response to the world from a reactive and self-centered mode to a more reflective and other-centered mode. The cultivation of compassion, empathy, and other virtuous emotions is traditionally taught through a rich, culturally embedded repertoire of reflective and cognitive techniques, as well as role modeling. Is it possible to extract the core wisdom of these practices from their religious and cultural origins without disempowering them; and if so, may they offer a valuable resource for the aims of moral and character education in secular societal contexts like schools? What are the elements of school culture which would have to change to realize these benefits? Contemplative practices that cultivate compassion and empathy may also support cognitive learning and help young people to discover meaningful purpose in their lives and passionate engagement in their immediate and far-reaching communities. Such practices could complement, or be integrated into, on-going curricular and instructional efforts aimed at teaching students about civic engagement, social justice, ethical responsibility, and moral decision-making in deep, enduring, and transformative ways. Research on brain processes underlying prejudice and intolerance suggests that contemplative practices that improve attention and emotional regulation can also bring prejudice into conscious awareness and thus offer a fulcrum for change. Other studies have examined factors that determine how empathy for the suffering of others may transform into compassionate, helping behavior rather than overwhelming sadness or fear. Collaboration between educators, scientists, and contemplatives on issues such as these could bring us closer to new understandings of how best to educate the compassionate heart in developmentally appropriate ways. Back to Top Session Four: Integrations, Reflections, and Future Directions Friday, October 9, 2009 • 2:00–4:30pm Panelists HH Dalai Lama Takao Hensch, Ph.D. Lee Shulman, Ph.D. Linda Darling-Hammond, Ed.D. Moderator Roshi Joan Halifax, Interpreter Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D. This final session will offer reflections on the previous two days of dialogue and will serve to integrate and explore new ideas that have been sparked by the process. For example, participants in the final session will discuss windows of opportunity in which the developing brain is optimally receptive for the cultivation of particular mental qualities associated with attention, emotion, empathy and compassion that have been discussed in the meeting. They will also discuss the institutional and social contexts of schools today that could facilitate or hinder efforts to introduce contemplative practices in K-16 education. Furthermore, the question of how the introduction of contemplative practices in formal educational settings could complement, expand upon or reframe contemporary educational reform efforts at these various levels, to the extent such practices are adapted for public education settings in culturally sensitive, developmentally appropriate and thoroughly secular ways will also be discussed. The overarching aim of this session is to develop a set of tractable scientific questions regarding the use of contemplative practices in educational contexts that can be researched in the near future, and that ultimately may inform educational practice and policy in ways that benefit teachers, students, and their families. As just one example, consider a key principle in the contemplative traditions the importance of embodiment. Embodiment refers to our ability to “give form through our verbal and non-verbal behavior” to certain cherished qualities, for instance, kindness to others. In this context, one hypothesis is that the embodiment of qualities like compassion, empathy, and mindfulness in adults and older peers is a powerful form of social role modeling that teaches the young important lessons about how to become a responsible member of a family, a peer group, a school, a community and a society. For students to learn the skills needed for world citizenship and personal responsibility in the 21st century world, one hypothesis is that if these qualities are to be successfully developed in students, teachers must model such skills and behaviors themselves in a school context that is supportive of such skills and behaviors at all levels. That is, teacher embodiment of these skills, as well as a supportive school environment, really matter for students’ motivation and capacity to learn and embody such qualities themselves. From this perspective, a key priority in this work going forward is to inquire into how teacher training and direct service programs on compassion and mindfulness for teachers and parents may form a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the cultivation of these qualities in young people. In addition, such work will need to address issues of context: How can school leaders support the cultivation of positive habits of the mind and heart in the whole school culture? How can educational leaders design and implement “mindful and compassionate communities of learning” for students, teachers, parents and educational leaders alike? Ultimately, we envision an education system in which young people are recognized and educated as cognitive and emotional, ethical, and social beings whose lives are deeply interconnected with others; one that lifts their spirits and engages them fully in active, meaningful learning, and that cultivates the positive qualities necessary to be a caring and contributing member of the world community in the coming years The world’s contemplative traditions are a precious resource that can contribute to the education and development of people who are compassionate, ethically responsible, and in control of their mental lives and who, as a result, are positioned optimally to meet the extraordinary political, social, and spiritual challenges of our time
