Shardza Rinpoche was one of the most influential Bon Teachers of his time. His works are used as textbooks in may Tibetan monasteries. \nIn these teachings\, practitioners learn a series of extraordinary practices that invoke direct perception of the nature of mind. Unlike methods that involve watching the breath or otherwise calming the thoughts\, these practices rely on body postures\, sounding of Tibetan syllables\, and simple visualizations to draw one quickly to an experience of one’s essence.

The Retreat will continue at the Jung Center Houston on Saturday and Sunday 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. \nThe topic of this year’s talk is based on Rinpoche’s newest book\, Spontaneous Creativity: Meditations for Manifesting Your Positive Qualities\, published in 2018. As Rinpoche has said: \nCreativity can be seen as a state of natural flow\, one that spontaneously and effortlessly gives birth not only to manifest form\, but to all experiences of body\, energy and mind. This state of flow\, which has its roots in openness\, occurs only in the absence of hope and fear. It is at once naturally joyful\, peaceful\, compassionate\, expansive and powerful. When you know how to tap fully into this open\, creative flow\, its beneficial qualities can extend to any area of your life. \nDuring Friday night’s lecture\, Rinpoche will introduce the topic and provide a short instruction and meditation practice. \nOn Saturday and Sunday at the Jung Center Houston\, Rinpoche will deepen his discussion and and offer more extensive guided meditation practices to help participants recognize and clear physical\, energetic\, and mental obstacles that can block creative flow\, helping you to connect with and trust in your innate creative potential and to discover the inner strength and confidence that can allow creativity to naturally blossom.\n \n \n \n \nGeshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \n \n \n \n \nGeshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\, founder and spiritual director of Ligmincha International\, is an acclaimed author as well as a highly respected and beloved teacher to students throughout the United States\, Mexico and Europe. Fluent in English\, Tenzin Rinpoche is renowned for his depth of wisdom; his clear\, engaging teaching style; and his ability to make the ancient Tibetan teachings highly accessible and relevant to the lives of Westerners.\n\n\n \n Click here to visit the Asia Society Houston website\nPricing at the Asia Society Friday Night Public Talk:\n$25 for non-members\n$15 for members of the Asia Society URL:https://ligminchatexas.org/event/spontaneous-creativity-meditations-for-manifesting-your-positive-qualities/ LOCATION:Asia Society Houston\, 1370 Southmore Blvd\, Houston\, TX\, 77004\, United States CATEGORIES:Meditation,Past Events,Public Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ligminchatexas.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Sunburst.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190126T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190127T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T052449 CREATED:20181206T024931Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240127T045742Z UID:10000259-1548496800-1548608400@ligminchatexas.org SUMMARY:Spontaneous Creativity: Meditations for Manifesting Your Positive Qualities - Weekend Retreat DESCRIPTION:Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will return to the Asia Society on January 25th\, 2019\, from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm.
