'Open Your Heart, Improve Your Health'
A free public talk by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
Wednesday, May 21, 7-8:30 p.m.
By clearing our inner obstacles we are able to promote a lasting experience of healing and joyful vitality. This is because every obstacle we face in life - whether mental confusion, emotional conflict, even physical disease - ultimately arises not from outside us but from within, according to the teachings of the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition.
In this second free public talk of a series of five, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will explain and guide the life-holding tsa lung exercise. According to the ancient teachings, done with the right mindset and focus of breath this simple physical movement that engages the heart chakra has the possibility to:
- maintain your life force and prolong your life
- aid clear memory
- generate joyful clarity of mind
- reduce agitation and anger
- improve the ability to abide in deeper meditative states
The next talk in this series:
June 25: The fire-like tsa lung exercise
Public talks are held at Ligmincha Institute's Downtown Meditation Center in the Glass Building, Charlottesville. There is no charge to attend; if you wish to make a contribution, $10 is suggested.
