Teachings & Empowerments
Lama Kunsang's teachings are rooted in the work of Buddha Shakyamuni and in the instructions of the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism. The tantric teachings of the Kagyu oral transmissions hold a special place among them.
The Kagyu tradition goes back to the Dharmakaya Buddha Vajradhara. He transmitted his entire knowledge to the Mahasiddha Tilopa, who in turn passed it on to his student Naropa, the scholar from Nalanda.
Meditation & Mindfulness
To practice meditation means to train the mind. The deeper purpose of Buddhist meditation is to bring about a change in our habitual patterns, for in its ordinary state our mind is restless and rarely dwells in the present moment.
The Tibetan yogi Milarepa said that through meditation one can ultimately experience the original wisdom that has always been present within us as buddha nature.
Tsa Lung – Tibetan Yoga
In Tsa Lung, the Tibetan yoga, our body is trained outwardly and our mind inwardly by means of physical exercises, breathing techniques and visualizations. The basis for this work are the inner, or secret, channels and chakras, called Tsa in Tibetan, and the subtle winds or energy winds, called Lung in Tibetan. Two paths of practice are distinguished, which accordingly lead to different results.
