SUMMARY:Tibetan Dream Yoga:  Awake While Dreaming with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche!
DESCRIPTION:How do we make distinctions between dreaming\, deep sleep\, and being awake? Is there a way to experience the differences – and similarities – between these three states? Explore your dreams in this weekend retreat with Tibetan Bön Master and founder of Ligmincha Texas and Ligmincha International\, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche!\n\n\nThe Jung Center’s Executive Director\, Sean Fitzpatrick\, will join Rinpoche for a Friday evening talk and conversation about dreaming from both the Tibetan and Jungian perspectives.\n\n\nThen\, retreat into practice and teaching with Rinpoche for the weekend\, and invite an experience of the thread connecting our sleeping\, dreaming\, and waking consciousnesses.

All are welcome!\n\n\nThere is a separate registration for in-person and Zoom participation. A separate registration link is also available for the Friday night session only.

SUMMARY:The Power of Mantra: A Om Hung
DESCRIPTION:An open mind and compassionate heart are important and necessary virtues to lead a good life. But we are often bound and limited by our prejudices\, fears\, and divisions. Awareness is the key that frees us and allows our positive qualities to be expressed. Awareness is essential for spiritual transformation. When we open our body\, speech\, and mind with awareness\, our inherent capacity for love is found to be already present. In the Bön tradition of Tibet\, sacred sound is used as a skillful means to release tensions and blockages in our body\, free our speech of divisions of exclusion and bias\, and activate the compassionate qualities of an open heart. Through engaging the sacred syllables of A\, OM\, and HUNG\, we employ the power of mantra to awaken the sacred dimension of our body\, speech\, and mind and transform our life for the benefit of ourselves and others.   \nThis teaching is especially precious as Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will not be teaching in 2021.  Rinpoche is taking a year-long sabbatical and will return to teaching in 2022. You won’t want to miss this opportunity! \nLocation \nThe Jung Center Houston\n \nhttps://junghouston.org/ \n\n(click on red button “search programs”) \nRegister through the links provided above. \nFinancial hardship alone should not prevent a practitioner from attending teachings.\nSpecial payment plans are available.\nPlease contact us at info@ligminchatexas.org\n		\n							\n						\n				\n			\n			\n					\n	\n \nFounder and spiritual director of Ligmincha International\, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is a respected and beloved teacher and meditation master in the Bön Buddhist tradition of Tibet.  He has students in more than 25 countries\, teaches around the world and reaches thousands of students through his online programs. \nTrained as a Bön monk\, Rinpoche now lives as a householder\, allowing him to more fully relate to the needs and concerns of his students.  Known for the depth of his wisdom and his unshakeable commitment to helping students recognize their true nature\, he is the author of many books and online courses. \nFluent in English\, Tenzin Rinpoche teaches in a warm and engaging style\, frequently drawing on examples from contemporary culture to bring the ancient Bön teachings to life\, making them relevant to the lives of modern people and a powerful basis for spiritual growth. He is equally at home teaching online and in a retreat setting. \nRinpoche regularly teaches in Europe\, the United States\, Mexico\, Central and South America\, and Asia. Information about worldwide locations may be found here. \nHe also is a leader in using technology to teach dharma. Rinpoche has offered free live webcasts since 2009\, including through his Facebook page since 2016. Beginning in 2010 he has offered a variety of online courses\, through both Ligmincha Learning and GlideWing Productions. With the support of his global volunteer base\, Rinpoche’s teachings are available in as many as 18 different languages through both real-time translation and subtitles. Find out more about his live events here. Hundreds of hours of previously recorded teachings can be found on Ligmincha’s YouTube channel and Ocean of Wisdom. \nRecognizing the diverse needs of students\, Rinpoche has created two sister organizations to Ligmincha: The 3 Doors and Lishu Institute. The 3 Doors is an international organization that allows participants from all walks of life to go deep into the essence of the teachings. Its programs use meditation and community to support self-discovery\, personal transformation\, and actions that benefit others. Lishu Institute\, a residential education and retreat center in India\, offers intensive study and practice of the Bön tradition. Its programs run from two weeks to two months in length\, with some participants choosing extended study.

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. 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 Jung Center Houston website\nIn the Advanced Search area\, for program type\, select “Body\, Mind\, Spirit”\nFor Instructor\, select Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\nPricing at the Jung Center:\n$180 for non-members\n$150 for members
