Transforming Our Emotions Through the Six Lokas with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
At one time or another each of us suffers strong emotions that throw us off balance, cause us to act in ways that we later regret, and make us lose touch with our true nature. Centuries ago the masters of the Bon lineage developed the meditations of the Six Lokas specifically to remedy this situation, to help us live our lives in a balanced and relaxed way. The meditations focus on the root causes of our suffering: anger, desire, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride and laziness. Through each meditation we examine our habitual patterns so that we may recognize, purify and transform them.

Tsa Lung is a series of ancient yogic practices that brings balance and harmony to our physical body, energy and mind. The term Tsa Lung can be translated as the energy-winds (Tibetan: lung, Skt. prana, Chinese, qi) in the channels, for these practices are designed to open the subtle channels, guiding the healthy flow of the energy-winds so that we can enjoy good health and reconnect with more calmness to a quiet, peaceful mind.

The Three Heart Mantras with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Bon tradition and play a major role in the ngondro practices. They are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy, and as we sing or chant the mantras our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization.
