Unique Opportunity to attend Dan Browns "The Pointing Out Style of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, Level 1" in Sydney,  14-21 April 2013

For additional information on Dan Brown, the Pointing Out Style Course Descriptions, and worldwide schedule see:

  http://www.pointingoutway.org/

The pointing-out style is an ancient method of teaching meditation, grounded in the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism and the dynamic relationship between student and teacher. Structured methodology leads the meditator through increasing levels of concentration and insight, to profound “crossing over” instructions, the very gateway to awakening. With roots in Mahamudra and Dzogchen lineages, this 7-day retreat with Dan Brown has been created to give participants both the understanding and the skills required to practice and master these precious teachings. 

For more information and to register for the Sydney Level 1 Retreat, go to:

What: Level 1 Pointing Out Way Retreat 

Where: Chevalier Center, 1 Roma Ave, Kensington NSW 2033 Australia

Notes and Events:

Most of the villagers are CHAKMA in tribe and BUDDHIST by religion. About 400 families live at Tuichawng and surrounding villages. The total population is around 2800 who live on shifting cultivation. Due to inavailability of fertile land in the locality, they can not produce enough crops for their livelihood. So, they live a miserable life just hand to mouth. Being poor, our people can not contribute fund to develop the Buddhist monastery. During last twenty five years, it was anyhow constructed with sown timber structure with GCI sheet roofing in 1996. Now it has become very old. The villagers are trying to re-build it with concrete structure. An small amount has already been gathered which is not enough. It has become very difficult to gather more fund.

Beside this, Our organization has started a mission school names as AHIMSA SCHOOL for the needy and privileged children. We also appeal all to extend your helping hands by giving us support to provide education to our unfortunate children. We primarily needs teacher’s salary and building grants.

Therefore on behalf of the Buddhist people of this locality, do appeal your organization to look into the matter sympathetically and come forward to provide us financial assistance for the further development and construction of the Buddhist Monastery mentioned above. For the act of which your kindness, we shall remain ever grateful.

Notes and Events:

The Vishrant Buddhist Society promotes awareness of the pragmatic teachings of Buddhism to support seekers toward higher consciousness, heart and enlightenment.

Our ability to be open and remain uncontracted in any situation or circumstance is mastery of the mind. This degree of equanimity can be cultivated through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, acceptance and openness to all that life offers. The result is the easing of suffering and is part of the Buddhist path to attaining enlightenment.

Buddhism is a way of life, which in essence is The Way of the Heart. The style of Buddhism practiced here encourages development of Heart through giving and taking care of others, and the removal of mental obstacles to freedom through meditation and active practice of the Dharma.

Spiritual Director: Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje  Email  (Phone: +65 98317785)
Notes and Events:

On 20th March 1999, the late Geshe Lama Konchog, now reincarnated as Tulku Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche, instructed Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje to start a Dharma Centre. He bestowed the name Thekchen Choling, meaning Great Mahayana Dharma Temples named after the monastery of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Geshe-las vision was for the temple to change the current mindset of that one can only practice the Dharma as ordained Sangha. Thekchen Cholings focus is thus to impart ways that lay people can practice the Dharma, integrating it into their everyday lives and learning to realize their inner potential and be happy and fulfilled.

In 2001, Thekchen Choling (Singapore) was formally registered. From a handful of students, the crowd at Thekchen Choling is now several times larger with a mailing list of five thousand and regular students numbering to several hundred.

Thekchen Cholings vision is to Connect All with Divine Hearts. This is a special wish for all members and disciples to develop the divine heart of Buddha and gain enlightenment to benefit all beings.

As earnest practitioners of the Dharma, these aspiring Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can also engage in the activities of divine beings to reach out and touch everyone with the essence of Buddhas teaching - Love and compassion. With this proactive and outgoing aspiration, it is therefore not surprising that Thekchen Choling has a very young congregation. Coming from diverse backgrounds, they range from students to young working professionals under 40 years of age.

The three areas that the temples activities are in

1. Dharma Development
2. Healing Services
3. Community Services for children and youth.
