To not become happy because of praise, To not become unhappy because of blame, To support one's own good virtues, This is the character of the supreme being.
If the intention is good, the levels and paths are good. If the intention is bad, the levels and paths are bad, Since everything depends on intentions it is important that we make them positive.
Do not do anything harmful to one another, do only what is good. Discipline your own mind to subdue negative emotions.
Do no evil whatsoever, practice virtue perfectly, tame your mind completely. This is the teaching of the Buddhist doctrine.

Published for the first time,
Published for the first time, this commentary by one of the great Tibetan masters of the 20th century, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche will
appear in The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (Shambhala, 2010)
The following teaching is an explanation of the way to examine the mind according to a text written by Lama Mipham, called “The Wheel of Investigation and Meditation That Thoroughly Purifies Mental Activity.” Why is this teaching called the “wheel of investigation”? Because just as a wheel revolves all the time, we need to constantly investigate the true nature of things.
This constant investigation will eliminate deluded thoughts and lead to an understanding of the true nature of the mind.
How do we investigate the nature of mind and the root of samsaric delusion? The very root of delusion is the thought of “I,” the habit of clinging to the notion of a “self.” This notion is simply due to a failure to investigate. There is no such thing as a truly existing,
autonomous self. We fabricated this concept in the same way that we make up all our other thoughts. Then, after constructing this self over and over again, we get so used to our invention that it seems to really exist as a distinct entity. Continue reading

Ongoing Shedra
Shedra is a Tibetan word meaning: Buddhist Philosophical University. Although Shedra refers to a course that begins and ends covering one or more texts, the actual word Shedra refers to continuous study and the graduation is when you realize the meaning of the teachings. Realization is a Buddhist term and does not refer to hearing something and then knowing it, or something suddenly clicking in the intellect.
It is significantly more than that. Realization is a totally stable understanding, with no regression or deterioration, once something is realized it remains undiminishible. To fully realize the teachings is to realize emptiness. The realization of emptiness means that the treasure that lives within ourselves blossoms.
This is why the texts continually refer to realization of emptiness, compassion ect.., because realization is how the Lineage is preserved, for the lama who has realized the teachings then guides his students to the same realization. Those students then transmit that realization to the next generation. Buddha Shakyamuni’s Great Realization 2633 years ago has been passed down exactly in this way to the present day.
The three foundations of our Shedra will be Learning, Contemplation and Mediation. These three practices arouse Wisdom. From Learning comes understanding. From Contemplation comes experience and from Meditation Realization will arise. Our aspiration for these seven months, is to form a learning community based on these three principles. Often Buddhist teachings are not give the respect they merit.
Most people give a university education more respect, importance, and fastidious care than Dharma studies because it will determine one’s status in the world, economic power and area of occupation. While all these things are highly important, what all beings truly wish for is happiness itself, and lacking happiness the material gains a university education can provide will not fully satisy or bring peace of mind on their own.
Buddha’s teachings however when treated with respect and given due importance and fastidious care, lead to a true happiness, a realization that is happiness, thourougly stable, unshakeable. For this reason they are of a higher value than mundane subjects. Also, for this reason our respectful request is,
those interested in this Shedra give it the due seriousness these texts, the teacher and the lineage they transmits merits.For more information on any of these I have been sincerely requested Shedra to teach on the important Shantideva text, A Guide To The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.
I believe it may be of some benefit to them. This teaching will calm the angered and negative mind. will teach this important and profound text beginning Friday june 3th 2011, 6pm to 8pm, if you wishe contact us’ sbtcc.heruka@gmail.com

Kybje Dungse Rinpoche Video
What follows is a commentary to the video. This movie is not like a convential film because of its importance: a great accomplished and omnicient Lama who is a representation of the Buddha provides the commentary. Although this Lama cannot be seen through the phyiscal eyes, he has inmeasurable quailities of love, compassion and power. Even though you may not recognize it, the blessing you are receiving for watching it has merit. A movie such as this cannot ordinarily be found and is very rare. Because of the movie’s great meaning it is recommended to pay close attention while viewing.
