“The core of my teaching is
simply to recognize that you
are alive. This alone will fulfill all your desires, all your cravings.
At Buddhafield, you will need nothing other than being who you truly are.”
--H.E. Shyalpa Rinpoche
Aspiration
Being true to ourselves, Simply being honest with ourselves,
Westerners—with our unique heritage
To build a container from which Truth will flow
Without sacrificing or diluting the power, beauty, and clarity
Of our Tibetan Buddhist lineage and teachings. AH!
Essence
Wonderment, free of concept and attachment
Suchness, stripped down and bare
Pure Naked Awareness, devoid of material and spiritual trappings
Light. Space. Joy. Freedom. HO!
Fruition
A Buddhafield!
Liberating vision, the sky and infinite space our shrine
Centerpeace, from which endless compassion manifests, transcending boundaries
A sanctuary for all beings, totally accepting all cultures, without recognizing any.
Dharma knows no East, no West. YE!
The Challenge
The challenge is to create a unique juncture of conditions conducive to meditation, and an enduring structure that will weather succeeding generations, fashions, and natural and societal upheavals. The structure will be a beacon of inspiration and certainty, a refuge for the afflicted, and a clear light of compassionate wisdom and reason.
We invite you to join us as we embark on this exciting journey together
to bring the vision of Buddhafield to fruition.
