This week in Buddha Weekly: Gaden Choling Celebrates 30 Years of Tibetan Buddhism in Canada; Biography of Venerable …
Posted: at 2:50 pm
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) March 25, 2015
When Tibetan Buddhism first migrated to North America, brought by learned exiles from Tibet, it seemed exotic, yet strangely unapproachable. Today, Tibetan Buddhist centres are found in nearly all urban and many rural communities.
This week, Buddha Weekly profiles Gaden Choling Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre in Toronto and spiritual director Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, celebrating 30 years in Canada. In Buddha Weekly's ongoing series on meditation techniques, the online magazine also compares visualization to midfulness and asks the question, "Which meditation is right for your Buddhist practice?" with a special focus on Tibetan Buddhism.
"30 Years of Gaden Choling Tibetan Buddhist Centre: Celebrating a Legacy That Brought Canada Teachings from Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, Tara Tulku Rinpoche and Zasep Tulku Rinpoche"
Gaden Choling one of the oldest Tibetan Buddhist centres in Canada celebrates its 30th year with three weeks of celebrations and teachings. The three week series of events and teachings honors a three-decade history of teachings in Tibetan Buddhism. Join us as we mark 30 years since Gaden Cholings founding, invites the event poster. It is one of the oldest Tibetan Buddhist centres in Canada and has been a source of refuge for many practitioners of Buddha Dharma over the years. Many notable spiritual teachers, such as Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, Tara Tulku Rinpoche and HH Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche have given many amazing holy teachings and initiations at Gaden Choling.
The anniversary festivity begins at 11am on March 28th, at the Gaden Choling Mahayana Buddhist Meditation Centre, 612 Markham Street Toronto. The multi-faceted anniversary event will include a variety of celebrations: Chod melodies, chanting sessions, sacred Newari dancing, a Tibetan-style bazaar, traditional Tibetan food, and a movie featuring spiritual director Zasep Tulku Rinpoche.
Other events include a weekend Tibetan Buddhism Mahamudra teaching and practice, and teachings in Samatha meditation, Phowa and Chod for healing, and initiations for students in White Manjushri (Buddha of Wisdom) and Chenrezig (Buddha of Compassion.) For details, visit Buddha Weekly>>
"Feature Biography: Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche: A big smile, easy humor, unforgettable teachings."
Rinpoches life has been eventful: teachings from a long line of teachers, exile from Tibet on foot, and then travels to many countries around the world to deliver teachings in Tibetan Buddhism. Reborn and recognized as the thirteeth incarnation of Zasep Tulku, Rinpoches well-known teaching abilities were refined over decades of adventures and teachings.
Rinpoche escaped the Chinese invasion by walking at night across the mountains between Lhasa and Penpo. After exile, Zasep Tulku continued his studies and received many initiations over the following years, reinforced by numerous extensive retreats. In 1961, he again met his teacher, His Holiness Yongzin Trijang Dorje Chang. Read about Zasep Tulku RInpoche on Buddha Weekly>>

Temple assets should be publicly revealed: panel
Posted: at 9:47 pm
The committee studied the current state of Buddhism affairs and found four problems:
-Lack of audits or public disclosure of temple or monks' assets, which tempted many monks into pursue personal gain rather than study and practise dharma;
-Cases of monks violating dharma winaya (discipline) possibly stemmed from administrative issues within the centralised Sangha Council, and caused the public to lose their faith;
-Some teachings and practices stray from the Lord Buddha's dharma principles, such as those of Pathum Thani's Dhammakaya Temple, |which needs to be probed by a committee to cleanse the clergy of impure practices;
-Thai authorities need to do more to support and protect religious activities by arranging for a more dynamic Sangha administrative system.
The committee suggested drafting a law on the management of temple and monks' assets to ensure that benefits of monastic activities go to the religion, not a person's pocket, and allow monks and laymen to participate for transparency.
Another proposal from the Paiboon panel was for a civil law amendment to ensure that the assets that a monk accumulates during his monkhood passes to the temple.
It said the Sangha Council's 24th regulation or the Sangha Council Act of 1962 should be amended to allow the decentralisation of power and promote the participation of monks nationwide.
It also urged a mechanism to ensure adherence to dharma winaya and reform ecclesiastic education for monks so they are up-to-date and given importance.
Direk Thungfang, deputy chairman of another NRC committee, on political reform, said opponents of certain provisions in the draft charter would voice their opinions during an NRC seminar late this week in Pattaya. Among the issues to be raised are provisions allowing a non-MP to become prime minister, he said.
