Tulku Thondup Spiritual Teacher
The West owes a world of gratitude to Tulku Thondup, a prolific translator and scholar of Tibetan scripture.
His contribution has preserved Tibetan Culture for future generations.
Tulku Thondup spent the first eighteen years of his life, his home the Dodrupchen Monestary, in a secluded valley in eastern Tibet, surrounded by mighty mountains, "where the routine of study and prayer was regulated by the passage of the sun and moon in the sky," according to Thondup.
He now lives in America for the past several decades, studying and translating, surrounded by "my collection of scriptures and Buddhist images, which shine forth as living artifacts and timeless truths."
This lens showcases an article I wrote about Thondup.
Please relax and In-Joy.

A Meditative/Spiritual Approach To Healing
I never went to Omega Institute to be in the presence of Tulka Thondup'shealing aura, but my husband, Tom went twice and I saw a renewed
sense of calm and dedication to his meditation practice when he
came back home, again.
When he returned, he taught me some of what he learned.
Two of the Twelve Stages Of Meditation Of The Healing Buddha
1) Bring your mind back to your body.
Allow your mind to generate thoughts of peace, calm and serenity.
Allow these thoughts of peace settle into every cell of your body,
moving from the bottoms of your feet to the top of your head.
Think that everyone around you is calm and that the room, your house,
your town, neighboring city and the whole planet and then the whole
Universe is filled with a loving, peaceful calmness.
If you feel any uneasiness, locate the area in your body where you feel
this sensation the most.
Then take a couple of deep and forceful breaths and think and feel
the uneasiness expel with your outgoing breaths: "Haaa, Haaa, Haaa!!"
Know that the uneasy feelings are completely expelled, leaving no
trace within your body.
Feel the freedom of no longer having any blocks of fear or tenseness
anywhere. Your whole body is profoundly relaxed, rejuvenated and
in a state of awakened awareness.
2) Bringing your body back to the earth energies
If you are feeling ungrounded or a sense of floating, think of where
your sitting body touches the chair or the cushion, and visualize a
unity between earth and your relaxing body.
Enjoy this feeling of boundless freedom and healing as long as you can.
The Following Are Thondup's Eight Tips for Meditation
1) Take a couple of deep breaths and expel the sensation of worry and
discomfort with your outgoing breath. Feel the peace.
2) With the outgoing breath, send the sensations far away in the form
of dark clouds that dissolve into the open, empty and clear sky.
3) Think of the word and feeling of "Boundlessness."
4) Think and feel that your body is boundless, that even its cells are
boundless. Allow your breathing to relax in this boundless feeling,
as though your breath were totally without limit or constriction.
5) Think and feel that all cells are breathing, in and out, directly
through the pores of your body.
6) Imagine your body as if it were a body of light. Light is intangible
and free. Feel what this feels life all through your body.
7) Be aware of any uneasy sensation in an open way, without judging it, and
without wanting to push it away, or clinging to it.
Continue to breath naturally and remain in the state of mere awareness.
Open awareness is considered a high form of healing and can help anyone
during meditation and also the rest of your life.
8) If you feel as if you are floating, imagine that your body is filled
with light that somehow has a heavy quality. Although light is substantial,
we could think of it as heavy, the way air is weighted down by moisture
or the way the earth's atmusphere exerts air pressure.
Just remain in open awareness of the floating sensation without judgment,
worry or grasping.

Heal Your Mind
Thondup describes healing with the meditation techniques he teaches inworkshops and in his books.
He says that in Tibet, when he or family and friends got sick, they first
went to a lama and said prayers for spiritual healing. They went to the doctor
after the spiritual prayers were completed.
A friend of Thondup, Harry Winter, had an incurable fatal cancer. When
Harry was seventy-four, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. His doctors'
told him he had only a few months to live.
Harry practiced meditation for years and was fully prepared to meet this crisis.
He firmly believed his meditation practice would slow the disease and
possibly stop it. He also believed that this meditation could reinforce
the benefits of medical treatment.
To his doctors' utter amazement, Harry survived two surgeries and his cancer
went into remission.
Five years later, the cancer returned but this time Harry refused medical
intervention. By this time, Harry was experienced at meditating in an open
and relaxed way. He often meditated for eight hours a day.
Harry used the meditation that Thondup teaches called "Receive the Healing
Blessings," in which the mind calls forth blessed nectar to wash away
impurities.
In his mind, Harry visualized Vajrasattua, the Buddha of Purification,
from whom would stream healing nectar.
The nectar entered his body from the crown of his head, purifying and healing
the cancer cells and all emotional toxicity. Harry additionally wished for these
blessings to extend to all beings everywhere and the whole Universe.
Harry was eighty-five at the time of the book's publication in 2000. He coild
still be going strong at age 93!
I have a autographed copy of "Boundless Healing." I feel as if I've been
blessed by a higher spiritual being as I gaze upon his signature.
We must learn from our teachers.
They are here to help us.

- Excellent lens (one correction you misspelled Vajrasattva - it is a v not a u) Are you Buddhist? I didn't know Omega invited Buddhists - thought it was mostly Sufi.

- No, I don't think I've ever met a Tibetan, healer or not. I've watched videos of the Dalai Lama; that's probably as close as I've come.
