Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Ranked #5,424 in Culture & Society, #112,109 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

Tenzin Wangyal is a prolific author, he has conducted workshops, seminars, and meditation retreats in Europe, Mexico, and North America. He is a teacher at Serenity Rigde, VA, in rural Charlottesville, Virginia.

I have studied with Tenzin Wangyal since 2000 when I first met him at a retreat in Aspen, Colorado on Wisdom Loving Mother (or in Tibetan Sherab Chamma). Since then I have attended several retreats per year with him as often as I can. I highly recommend him as a teacher of meditation. He speaks very good English so is accessible to all. He does not use a translator. In his 20 years of living and teaching in the West, Tenzin Rinpoche has become renowned for his ability to convey the ancient wisdom of Bon Buddhism in a way that is immediately relevant, inspiring, and applicable to the needs of modern Western students.

Tenzin is a Geshe (like a PhD) in Bon Buddhism. He has a center called Serentiy Ridge in Charlottesville, VA as well as a retreat center in Crestone, CO. His teachings are geared toward the ability to apply Buddhist teachings and meditations in your everyday life. People of any and all traditions can benefit from receiving his teachings which are universal. He is becoming a famous Buddhist leader.

More Background on Tenzin Wangyal

In 1987 His Holiness the Dalai Lama appointed Tenzin Rinpoche to the Assembly of Deputies of the Tibetan Government in Exile as the official representative on the Bon religion. These traditions are concerned with the marmonious integration of internal and external energies, and, most importantly, with the spiritual path ot enlightenment.

During the 91-92 academic year Tenzin was selected as a Rockefeller Fellow at Rice University in Houston, Texas. Here he continued his research on early Bon Tantric dieties and their relationship with Buddhist traditions in the early period of Buddhism in Tibet. Rice invited Pinpoche back to teach for the spring semester of 1993 and he was awarded a second Rockefeller Fellowship. He was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for 1994-95 to conduct academic research on the logical and philosophical aspects of the Bon tradition.

Quote from Healing With Form Energy and Light

With some practices like soul retrieval, we are recovering what is lost or healing what is damaged and making offerings is part of these practices. But we should also regularly make offerings even when everything is fine. We can make offerings to maintain harmony with non-physical beings in order to keep them from creating obstacles, to ask them to remove obstacles that already exist, to be of benefit to the spirits, to request their support in worldly and spiritual matters, to honor our obligations to protectors and guardians and tantric dieties, and to develop generosity in ourselves."

Visit Menri Monestary in India

I highly recommend going to this destination rather than to Tibet. Why? Because going to Tibet supports the Chinese who are the enemy of Tibetan people and of Tibetan Buddhism. So please DO NOT support the Chinese, instead go to India and support our allies.

Indian Buddhists & Their Tibetan Successors

It concentrates on the tantric period of Buddhist theory and practice, from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries, when the Tibetans were actively engaged in absorbing all they could find of Buddhist culture and religion into their own country. Snellgrove emphasizes the significant role played by the Central Asian kingdoms along the ancient Silk Route in the gradual process of Tibetan conversion. He draws convincingly upon documents of the time to illustrate the cultural changes that swept Tibet as a result of its rule over an extensive empire from the seventh to the ninth centuries-a period of history largely forgotten by the Tibetans themselves when they later embarked upon the wholesale importation of Buddhism directly from Northern India. Throughout, the author quotes extensively from numerous original sources, many of which have never before been translated into English. The illustrations include iconographic art as well as photographs of historical interest.
