The joy of Being: Advanced K*m Nye Practices for Relaxation, Integration, and Concentration
By Tarthang Tulku

10/08/2024

In our newly retitled classic Skillful Means, Tarthang Tulku offers a vision of work as a genuine and fulfilling path. Twenty-four exercises encourage appreciation, concentration and whole-hearted engagement.

🌻Exercise:
Responding to Difficulties

Learning to recognize the way you respond to difficulties is the first step in increasing awareness. Bring to mind two or three times when you were upset by some circumstance you could not seem to cope with. Examine each incident in turn:

Just how did it arise?
Who else was involved?
What did you do?
How did you eventually work the problem out?
Have the same patterns repeated themselves?

These questions give you room to stand back, to gain insight into what caused the problems, and to think realistically of new alternatives to cope with similar situations. (The Gift of Work, p. 75).

K*m Nye Dancing
6 Zoom Sessions with Andis Egle
Saturday and Sunday from 7 to 8:15 am PST
November 16 - December 1, 2024
Recordings will be Available

Dharma Publishing Academy invites you to join us for six sessions in Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche's book K*m Nye Dancing.

Invoking the wisdom of the K*m Nye Dancing Gestures we may ask:
Who am I?
Where I’m coming from?
Where I’m going?

The yogi’s dance expresses sacred knowledge in motion, it hints at what it might mean to answer these questions.
This dance, arising from the heart of space, is space replying to these unspoken questions of our embodiment, the mystery of our being.

“Here and now, space is dancing us” - touching instant, not before, not after.

“Without feet, we can’t walk”, our conceptual mind is telling us.
“Yes, we can” - “I don’t understand"

Trying to understand what wisdom, meditation, and ‘go beyond’ mean, those are labels. “I understand“ is our territory. We didn't check all the concepts we adopted. My thoughts are bubbles, a sense of identity, complete. “I” being recognized by me.
Check your understanding, the feeling of understanding. The six senses have a lot of interpretations.

Express instant, in between, open up, and extend it before finishing. The gestures express the wisdom inherent in the open field of experience, fundamental openness.

The K*m Nye Dancing gestures do not confirm our labels, projections, or what we already know. Thoughts leave no traces. The 'I' is part of the experience as the wisdom of experience speaks through our movements. The instant, the zero-point of experience provides the freedom to be. Having left the corral we created for ourselves, we discover our lives are what we make them.

Come and join 6 sessions to discover the dynamic space where K*m Nye Dancing is taking place.

Time, Space, and Knowledge: A New Vision of Reality
By Tarthang Tulku

The TSK Vision is a strikingly original, penetrating approach to mind, matter, and experience. Created by Tarthang Tulku, one of the last surviving Lamas to be fully and traditionally trained in Old Tibet, TSK is not a religious or even philosophical position, but rather an open, inclusive form of inquiry perfectly at home in the science and reason-oriented cultures of the West.
