In these days of teachings, Khenpo Norgey will present the essence of the philosophy and practice of Vajrayana Buddhism. Considered by some to be esoteric and difficult to understand, Khenpo Norgey Rinpoche uses wit and wisdom to present key concepts in the understanding of Vajrayana Buddhist practice - in an easy to understand and often humorous format. Buddhists, academics and all those interested in Eastern philosophies will benefit and delight as Khenpo Norgey, an outstanding Buddhist scholar, presents pith instructions in Buddhism.
We are very fortunate to have Khenpo Norgey Rinpoche in Dallas! Khenpo Norgey Rinpoche is one of the main instructors at the Namdroling Shedra (shedra: In the Nyingma Buddhist Palyul tradition, a rigorous nine year seminary school requiring residency for the training of Khenpos: Professor of Buddhist Studies).
May the refreshing rain of well-expressed Dharma Thus relieve the torment of troubling emotions, Completely filling the lotus lake of virtue and meditation; Increasing inner wealth in the land of peace. Longchen Rabjampa (Longchenpa) 1308 - 1364

‘Dana’: Donations to the Teacher The only ‘salary’ Khenpo Rinpoche receives is the donations of students. All funds from the door fees go directly to defraying Khenpo Rinpoche’s travel and lodging costs and for Program expenses. These funds are the operating expenses for the teaching event. All workers at the event are volunteers and accept no fees for their time. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition (and many other spiritual traditions) it is considered ‘good karma’ to make a personal donation to a teacher who has helped clarify spiritual understanding and awareness. The amount is not as important as the action of donating. The motivation for dana (giving), one of the Buddhist Six Perfections* (paramitas), is utterly pure - free from all desire, conceit or misguided views. Thus in the perfection of giving one should seek no return for oneself and be impartial, like the sun: that casts its radiance over all without a hint of favor. In ultimate terms, there is no giver, no recipient and nothing is given - yet we still give! This is an important insight. Generosity is a positive virtue we can practice even when the time is not available for study or meditation. It is a good way of developing a shift away from basically egocentric orientation. The ego is always trying to expand its province by accumulating, whereas to freely give is to reverse this 'I'- building process so that for once the energy flows the other way. All human beings want happiness and want to avoid suffering. Human beings desire happiness, but in fact they are creating the causes for suffering. Since the teachings explain happiness as being the result of a peaceful mind, in order to become happy it is necessary to train the mind. When practicing the Six Perfections the mind is trained to perfection. The bonus is that the practice of the perfections also benefits other people, not only oneself. If the goal is that of a bodhisattva to attain enlightenment for the sake of all living beings, the practice of the Six Perfections is indispensable. *The Six Perfections: (1) Generosity - Giving without seeking reward |

What Produces Peace? His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from Heart of Compassion: A Practical Approach to a Meaningful Life This idea of universal responsibility is rooted in a very simple fact: in general terms, all others' desires are the same as mine. Every being wants happiness and does not want suffering. If we, as intelligent human beings, do not accept this fact, there will be more and more suffering on this planet. If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, and constantly try to use others for our own self-interest, we may gain temporary benefits but, in the long run, we will not succeed in achieving even personal happiness; and world peace will be completely out of the question.
