Lobsang Palden Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist lama and healer, returns to the Rime
Buddhist Center on February 1-8, 2013
for Yantra Yoga, healing message, and a
special children’s activity. Lama Lobsang
Palden Rinpoche was trained as a lama in
the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Born in Tibet, he entered a monastery as
a boy after his recognition as a Nyingma
tulku, or reincarnated lama of the Nyingma
school. At age eighteen, he escaped Tibet,
which was under military occupation by the
People’s Republic of China. He made an
arduous, three-month journey across the
Himalayas, fulfilling his dream of meeting His
Holiness the Dalai Lama.
He lived in monasteries in India for over a
decade, studying Buddhist Dharma, Tibetan
medicine, and Yantra Yoga. He has traveled
and taught extensively and is considered a
Rime (non-sectarian) lama.

Zen teacher Karen Maezen Miller will
lead an introduction to Zen practices and
teachings during this weekend retreat, June
21-23. This retreat will focus on the practical application of Buddhist teachings to our
everyday lives at home and work. Participants will receive a full taste of the Zen
tradition. She will teach zazen (Zen meditation) with its emphasis on the breath, walking meditation, and an introduction to Zen
chanting. These are the traditional mindfulness practices that are incorporated into a
Zen retreat. The teachings are personal and
informal, appropriate to all practitioners
seeking the state of open-minded ease that
Zen calls “beginner’s mind.”
Karen Maezen Miller is a sensei (teacher) at
the Hazy Moon Zen Center in Los Angeles
and the author of two books on spirituality in everyday life, Hand Wash Cold and
Momma Zen. A frequent guest at the Rime
Center, she leads workshops and retreats
