Thich Nhat Hanh-La Muerte es una Ilusión

Papa Francisco

MADRID, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

   El Dalai Lama ha felicitado este jueves al Papa Francisco, del que ha elogiado la elección de su nombre en recuerdo de San Francisco de Asís, y ha expresado su deseo de poder reunirse con él en un futuro próximo y mantener una relación amistosa como la que ha tenido con los anteriores Pontífices.

   En un mensaje de felicitación remitido al nuevo Pontífice, el líder espiritual de los tibetanos ha subrayado que, aunque no está "muy familiarizado con muchos santos católicos", sí conoce a San Francisco de Asís.

   "Su disciplina, la sencillez de su modo de vida y su amor por todas las criaturas son cualidades que considero muy inspiradoras", ha subrayado, asegurando que le ha "emocionado" saber que había elegido ese nombre para su Papado.

   Por otra parte, el Dalai Lama ha recordado sus "amistosas conversaciones con sus predecesores inmediatos", Pablo VI, Juan Pablo II y Benedicto XVI, y los "fructíferos intercambios" que ha mantenido en los últimos 40 años con "mis hermanos y hermanas católicos" y ha confiado en que tendrá "el honor de visitarle en algún momento en el futuro próximo".

Thrangu Rinpoche and monks of VVI performed Jangchok Puja for Pema Lhachi on the fifth of March. Following up: Albany College of Pharmacy Event Neuroscience meets Meditation   Lama Zopa, Shrine Room Albany KTC  Representing KTD monastery, Lama Zopa Borodin of Albany KTC joined Gaelle  Desbordes, Ph.D., a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, to discuss the latest neuroscience research about the effects of meditation practice on areas of the brain related to emotions and other mental responses. Desbordes' research showed that there were physical changes in the brains of meditators who did either basic Shamatha or Loving-kindness meditation, in contrast to the absence of physical changes in the brains of the non-meditating control group. Reductions in depression and anxiety were some of the psychological results for the meditators in the experiment.  Before the panel discussion with Gaelle Desbordes, Lama Zopa led a large group of professors and students from Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in three Shamatha meditation methods. At the panel discussion, Lama Zopa told the audience that he himself had been a guinea pig in a neuroscience experiment at NYU (New York University). Despite the electrodes on his head and the noisy chaos when he was inside the MRI scanner, he actually enjoyed his experience.      "The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out" Published on March 4th! His Holiness Karmapa's new book is now available everywhere. (from the official press release) "... a major new publication by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. We invite you to join bytaking a look at the contents of this remarkable book here.  Based on a series of meetings between His Holiness and a group of American college students, the book covers a range of issues, all chosen by the students, and includes chapters on food justice, gender identities, conflict resolution, consumerism and greed. In this book, the Gyalwang Karmapa takes a hard look at the urgent challenges facing his generation as a society, as a planet and as individuals. In the process, he encourages us all to rise to these challenges, using a resource we already have in abundance-the basic nobility of our human heart. The book is nothing short of a call to action, outlining His Holiness' vision for bringing transformative social action into daily life.

Next Thursday in Albany! Click for full-sized flyer.   Thursday, March 7th, 7:00pm, Student Center Room 202   Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, 106 New Scotland Avenue, Albany  The Science of Meditation Dialogue between Lama Karma Drodhul and Dr. Galle Desbordes is the first collaborative event to result from a relationship between Karma Triyana Dharmachakra and the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences that has been taking shape over the last year.   The relationship began when Prof. Michael Pittman, Chair of the Department of Humanities and Communication at ACPHS, began bringing his Religious Studies students to KTD's Introduction to Meditation classes.     While on a visit to KTD with his students, Professor Pittman told us about his own interests in the religious dimensions of healing and how they had converged converged with the interests of his colleague Professor William Millington, Chair of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department, in the cross-pollination of Eastern and Western approaches to healing.   At our invitation, Professor Millington came to KTD to attend Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin's 2012 teachings on Preparing for Death, Paltul Rinpoche's teachings on Basic Principles Of Tibetan Medicine, and our Introduction to Meditation class.   During our conversations with Professors Pittman and Millington, it became clear that there was more than enough overlap between their work at ACPHS and KTD's new initiatives in Pastoral Care; Children, Trauma, and Violence; and Educational Outreach to make collaboration between our two institutions natural.   The Science of Meditation Dialogue is the first such collaboration; we intend it to be followed by other public conversations on other issues between ACPHS faculty and representatives of KTD. -- Jan Tarlin, KTD
