The Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche was born in 1925 in the Sichuan Province of China near the Tibetan border. At the age of seven he was recognized by Jamyang Khentse Lodro Thaye to be the incarnation of Sampa Kunkyab, a Palyul lineage meditator who spent his life in retreat and later gave empowerments and transmissions from his retreat cave to multitudes of disciples. Gyatrul Rinpoche was traditionally educated and spent many years in retreat with his root guru. He received important transmissions directly from the great Palyul Chogtrul Rinpoche and other accomplished masters in Tibet. He spent much of his life practicing and accomplishing the practices. Upon the Chinese occupation of TIbet in 1959, he fled to India. In 1972, at the request of both H. H. the Dalai Lama and H. H. Dudjom Rinpoche, he came to the West to transmit and propagate the Vajrayana Buddhist teachings. Since then, Gyatrul Rinpoche has worked selflessly to establish the buddhadharma in the West. Especially, the care and guidance he has shown and provided for his hundreds of Western students is unique and inconceivable. |
| Gyatrul Rinpoche is well-known for his wit and humor, his ceaseless compassion, his insight and genuine humility, and for presenting the traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachings in a way that is accessible and contemporary yet true to the traditions he embodies and upholds. Through uniquely skillful teaching techniques he continues to bring students to the profound Vajrayana path and provide the watchful guidance that is indispensible to practitioners on the path. |

When the mind begins to become still, we then begin to truly see it. When you first try to stabilize and pacify the mind, initially it will become very busy because it’s not accustomed to being still. In fact, it doesn’t even necessarily want to become still, but it is essential to get a hold of the mind to recognize its nature. This practice is extremely important...
Eventually you will find yourself in a state where your mind is clear and open all the time. It is just like when the clouds are removed from the sky and the sun can clearly be seen, shining all the time. This is coming close to the state of liberation, liberation from all traces of suffering. Many people like to say, “Leave me alone”, or “Give me some space.” This way you can create that space yourself and you don’t have to blame anyone else.
The truth of this practice is universal. It isn’t necessary to call it a religion to practice it. Whether one is a Hindu or a Moslem or a Christian or a Buddhist simply doesn’t matter. Anyone can practice this because this is the nature of the mind, the nature of everyone’s mind. If you can get a handle on your mind, and pacify it in this way, you will definitely experience these results, and you will see them in your daily life situation. There is no need to put this into any kind of category, any kind of "ism."
