Art and Spirituality in the Land of Dragon
exhibition "The Dragon's Gift: Sacred Arts of Bhutan"
Nimba in his palace of clouds and its Mysteries, Bhutan has for years a powerful fascination over the West. Only officially Buddhist country in the world, he advocated a development model based on a gradual opening to the rest of the world, illustrated by the famous indicator of GNH, Gross National Happiness, which aims to measure the satisfaction level of the population rather than the level of national wealth. Unified
the seventeenth century by a Tibetan monk, Ngawang Namgyal Shabrung (1594-1651), Bhutan is the Tibetan name "Drukgyul" or countries of the Dragon, because of its connection with the lineage Drukpa Kagyu, one of four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
exposure now allows us to know more about his art intimately linked to Vajrayana Buddhism practiced by the vast majority of the population. The works exhibited at the Musée Guimet, represent an astonishing testimony to the spiritual and artistic riches of this tiny country hidden in the heart of the Himalayas.
The exhibition begins with a series of photographs by Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk, author and translator of the Dalai Lama, who has spent many years in Bhutan. One can see, for example, a beautiful picture his master root Dilgo Khyensé Rinpoche (1910-1991) in ceremonial robes, holding vajra and bell, on a balcony Taktsang. Mathieu Ricard has also captured the movement of black hat dancers twirling to the beat of drums on the forecourt of the monastery Trong.
Among the most fascinating works on display, there is a beautiful thangka depicting the five Buddha families, five or Jina, in the middle of spherical shapes. The five Buddhas (Dainichi-Aksobhya Vajrasattva, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, Amoghasiddhi) actually represent each quality of Awakening: the wisdom of absolute space, Similar to the mirror, Equality, Discernment and completed successfully. Related to a cycle terma (treasure revealed spiritual), as shown by the inscriptions in writing dakini, this thangka, covered with symbols and mantras, is a liberation by sight (Tib, mthong-grol). Everyone who sees it is ensured, it is said, one day be released from samsara, the cycle of conditioned existence.
In the first room, you can also see two paintings of high quality cycle Jataka, stories of Buddha's past lives. These stories illustrate the wisdom, compassion and methods implemented by the future Buddha Shakyamuni during his previous lives, they are traditionally narrated to children as cautionary tales.
A little later, we see thangkas, showing yidams déitées or meditation of the Kagyu school at the center of the mandala, or as Çakrasambhava Vajradakini. They are topped Vajradara Buddha and the masters of the lineage: Tilopa (with fish), Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa.
Many beautiful bronze statues and punctuate the show. Green Tara, said the Salvatrice, sometimes called the Virgin Mary Buddhists, decorated with small turquoise with his open hand in gesture of the gift. Padmasambhava, the Lotus Born, magician and Indian saint who brought Buddhism to Tibet, with his two wives mystics, and Yeshe Mandarava Tsogyal. Drukpa Kunley, nicknamed the "Divine Madman", the great mystic libertine habits, caught playing the dramyen, a kind of lute, probably busy flirting with a beautiful stranger.
In summary, this exhibition brings together a unique collection designed originally to inspire practitioners Vajarayana on their spiritual journey. To fully appreciate the content, it is preferable to know the historical and spiritual context Tibetan Buddhism. However, the incredible artistry of these works will not fail to impress all visitors.
Until January 25, 2010 at the Musée Guimet in Paris

Is Lap Band Surgery Covered In Ontario By Ohip
Tsoknyi Rinpoche France
Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a son of Tulku Rinpoche Orgyen (1920 -1996), grand master of the Kagyu and Nyingma tradition.
Three weeks before the end of the three-year retreat, which ended November 21, 2009, Rinpoche came to Tsoknyi Lerab Ling to give instruction on the key points of the Dzogchen tradition, describe the possible pitfalls that await even advanced practitioners of Vajrayana and answer many questions from students of Rigpa. All with great honesty and a sense of humor to Buster Keaton.
His explanation of the subtle body - the receptacle of our energy dimension so often disturbed by modern life - have been particularly noticed. He also announced the forthcoming publication of a book on this subject.
Arcs-en-ciel
Rinpoche's visit to Tsoknyi Lerab Ling in southern France has coincided with the appearance of arcs in the sky above the valley for several days.
An evocation of Khen Rinpoche Nyoshul
In his last teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche spoke about the great yogi and scholar dzogchen Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche (1932-1999):
"When talking about Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche Dzogchen teachings, he said: "They are my fortune, they are my temple. These lessons are my true wealth, my real wealth. This is my gompa is my community practitioners of the sangha. It's just that, the thing that has more value. This is my most precious heritage. "Then he said:" Now I'll says, therefore, keep it the same way. In this world, is the most precious thing. Now I give you, please, keep it good, keep it well. Practice it . "
When we lived in the presence of Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, he was able somehow to turn your value system, one could say that everything else had no real significance, that real wealth in this world was the Dharma teachings. He did not preach or try to convince a fanatic way by a sort of brainwashing inflamed, but it happened like that, because he himself had such a high regard for the most profound teachings, he transformed my perception. Once, I stayed with him for a month and I changed. Of course, I changed the other way a little later, but while I was there, I felt very different. "
A final advice for retreatants
" You are so fortunate. You were somehow infused, saturated by the Buddhadharma, not in the form of books, notes, recordings or anything else like that, but now this is something in you. That's what you should cherish, it is the Dharma of realization, not a scriptural dharma, dharma nor a word, but an embodiment of dharma, something you have in you now as the seven noble qualities, the sevenfold noble fortune. Please, cherish it. Do not ignore it, do not forget, but take it with you wherever you go, which is already in you.
The best thing if you can be more normal than normal people. The training of Dharma is to train a person to be 'normal', not an abnormal person. That's right, no? We always hear, again and again, the expression 'be natural', is not it? Be yourself. Be as you are, as it is. Your nature as it is. This is what is said again and again. Do not be forced, coerced, are natural.
And if you look around you in this world, this quality natural, normal, is brighter than anything else, the glory, power, wealth and all that stuff. Without this natural quality interior, power and wealth and that sort of thing is worthless.
You were under the protection of love and kindness of Sogyal Rinpoche for three years and you just concentrate on this main point, become a real human being truly human. And, ultimately, is all that the Dalai Lama teaches. "
