FEBRUARY OFFERING CEREMONY
29 Jan 2012 Leave a Comment
Dear friend:
We want to invite you to join us in the next Offering Ceremony, this Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 at 11;00a.m. in Padma Rigdzin Ling Buddhist Center in Las Vegas, NV.
This is a particularly auspicious moment for this event, as it is the last Tsok of the Tibetan Year of the Metal Rabbit, just before Losar on February 22nd, 2012. Remember that the Tsok allows us to accumulate fortunate merit and wisdom, in order to purify the two obscurations. Besides, it helps us receive the blessings of the Buddhas, bringing everlasting joy, peace on Earth and clarifying our minds.
We also want to remind you that Ven. Lama Jigme Rinpoche is offering divinations, astrology charts and prayers for the New Years. He is currently available for consultations and counselling. For suggested donations, please visit Our Services.
If you have any questions, please contact us. We will be happy to assist you.
Tashi Deleks!
TIBETAN CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
02 Jan 2012 Leave a Comment
THE TIBETAN CULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Of all the ethnicities in this world, the Tibetan is very distinctive due to its millenary culture of Buddhism. The Tibetans have maintained the essence of Buddhism as it has spread across Asia and the world. Of all cultures on Earth, the Tibetans protect this planet and have cared for the environment in a very exceptional way.
For example certain Masters in extended retreats gather different precious materials such as gold, silver, crystals, etc., and special ingredients like barley and grass, and place them together in a container. During the period of isolation they focus their practice, blessings and realizations on the objects, until they are enchanted. These are known as Treasures or ’Gter’. Afterward, they are hidden in the earth with the genuine intention of protecting the environment, which brings well-being to all living beings dwelling in it.
Buddhism is the science of the mind. All our problems, individual, national and worldly happen because humans still abide by the law of “the big eats the small”. Diseases, injustice, oppression and negative emotions appear out of the mind. For this reason, Buddhism teaches practitioners to constantly examine the mind and train it, like the Tibetans train the channels, energies and essences, in order to bring peace to the world.
The life of living beings, protecting it and prolonging it is of utmost importance. However, there are cultures in this world that strive for immediate development, polluting and harming this planet, care-less of future consequences. Rather than protecting the precious things that promote the life of beings, they excavate and dynamite the land for the sake of development. They just don’t think about where will they stand once this place is completely destroyed.
Those of this mentality oppress that which promotes individual growth and spiritual realization. They don’t have regards for living beings and discard the value of human life, promoting external wealth, which lacks deep meaning.
The things that care for our world and our environment are like precious gems which must be kept safe and recognized by every nation, just like the Tibetan Buddhist Culture that strives to protect this planet and the beings living on it.
We ask you to please become active, look to the future and help us protect it.
Please contact us if you have any questions.

TSOK Offering Ceremony on December 4th!!
24 Nov 2011 Leave a Comment
This coming Sunday December 4th, 2011 at 11:00 am we will be celebrating the Tsok Offering Ceremony at the Lohan School of Shaolin in Las Vegas, NV. We welcome you to join us on Padmasambhava day to perform this traditional Tibetan Buddhist Ritual for the accumulation of merit.
We remind you that merit is necessary to purify the negative emotions and to allow wisdom to arise from the obscurations of the mind. The practice of the Rigdzin Dupa or the Tsok is a quintessential exercise for the realization of the mind and of the Highest Views.
Please contact us if you have further questions. We will be very happy to assist you!
