SUMMARY:Public Talk:  Developing the Supreme Good Heart
DESCRIPTION:“The tracks left by all Buddhas\, past\, present and future;  Quintessence of the 84\,000 Teachings are the instructions on altruistic Bodhicitta;  Don’t forget them.  Practice them!  That is my heart advice.”  page 9 Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar\, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche \nThe supreme good heart\, or Bodhicitta\, is a precious mind that cherishes all living beings over oneself–altruism in its deepest and broadest form.  As the Dalai Lama says in a 2015 video\, “Whoever generates this altruistic intention will find themselves setting out on the path to true happiness.”   Letting go of ego-clinging that seeks only the happiness of the self\, and developing a mind that wishes for the happiness of all creates peace of mind and joy for the practitioner.   The benefits of cultivating this attitude are profound: from better health and more harmonious relationships\, to the ultimate liberation of enlightenment.   Join Khenpo Karten Rinpoche as he teaches on the many benefits of Bodhicitta\, followed by a discussion on practical ways to gently encourage the supreme good heart in ourselves. \nThis teaching follows our regular meditation class\, held 10-11am on Saturdays. \nClick here for more information on the Heart Advice Series.

SUMMARY:The Benefits of Solitary Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Khenpo Karten Rinpoche spent three years\, three months\, and three days on solitary retreat in his early 20’s.  The experience began with much discomfort\, physically and mentally\, but ended with Rinpoche asking to extend the retreat another 3 years!   Indeed\, while that particular Abbot did not allow Rinpoche to continue his retreat at the monastery\, Rinpoche returned to his home village\, and did an additional 2 years of solitary retreat in a cave near his home town. \nOn Sunday\, April 9th\, Rinpoche will speak about the importance and benefits of solitary retreat to the teens of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Pennisula\, at approximately 11:30-12:00pm.  The event is NOT open to the public\, but listed here to help keep track of our busy Rinpoche’s schedule. \nThe Benefits of Solitary Retreat \nSunday\, April 9th \n11:30am -noon \nUnitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Pennisula \n490 Aguajito Road\, Carmel\, CA  93923 \nPrivate event for youth of UU Church \nFor more info\, contact:  Aaron Joseph–phone:  805-618-8822 or email: jwlinthelotus@yahoo.com \n
