Being a practitioner is having the courage to face ourselves at all times; exploring the open space of the unknown with our eyes wide open; being strong in view and promise; allowing fear to be an ornament of the journey into vastness; and being beneficial to everyone and everything, everywhere.” LamaYing-rig DorjéLing Gésar is the epitome of spiritual warriorship and sovereignty in Tibetan history and literature, as well as among Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. As a legendary, enlightened warrior-king, he was known for embodying wisdom and compassion in responding to the turmoil and distortions of his time, demonstrating a remarkable ability to communicate with others deeply entrenched in emotional coping strategies—like anger, grief, or detachment—and trapped in conditioned perceptions.At the heart of the Ling Gésar spiritual teachings is the ability to dance with opposition—embracing wisdom and skillful means in the face of challenges. This event series will help attendees explore how we can apply these teachings in our own lives, including how to tap into extraordinary sensitivity; develop skillful communication; and deepen our ability to attune to each moment through deep awareness and increased skillful means.Who These Events Are ForBoth the public talk on Friday evening and the two-day weekend retreat are open to all!

His main purpose has always been upliftment of whoever he meets. He has had many spiritual teachers connecting with the path of awakening. He became an apprentice of Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen in 1992 and was ordained as a Naljorpa in 2000. He has studied and also teaches sKu-mNyé—a Buddhist physical practice engaging the energetic and physical system through gentle to more rigorous movements—as well as other physical practices in Yogic Buddhist traditions, since becoming an apprentice.Before becoming a Buddhist practitioner and teacher, he was a teacher of Pencak Silat—the Indonesian martial art—having studied martial arts since he was 14 years old. Yet, he found himself needing more depth in terms of the nature of the mind itself. He received the Ling Gésar robes and implements from Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche. He now studies and holds the treasures of Ling Gésar—the epitome of spiritual warriorship and sovereignty in the Vajrayana, Dzogchen tradition. He has received the martial healing-arts with knives and swords associated with Ling Gésar, as well as other methods including mantras, which focus on raising rLung rTa (enthusiasm), maintaining srog (life force), and enhancing the lha (dynamic drive) of the individual—promoting good health, vitality, longevity, and charismatic lucidity.Residing in Finland, he speaks multiple languages, teaches throughout Europe, and journeys to the East every year to spend time with teachers and at vortices (special places).  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/6e91bce0-4df0-11f0-b5f2-832651b9e695-rimg-w740-h740-dcbaaaa8-gmir.jpg
