Ajahn Sona's main question here is "How can a person deal with obsessive thoughts or feelings of anxiety." Born in Canada, Venerable Sona's background as a layperson is in classical guitar performance. His encounter with Buddhist wisdom as a young man initiated a spiritual journey that led him to become a lay hermit for several years. He subsequently ordained as a Theravada monk under Ven. Gunaratana, at the Bhavana Society in West Virginia, where his first years of training took place. Ven. Sona further trained for over three years at monasteries following Ajahn Chah in northeast Thailand, especially Wat Pah Nanachat. Upon his return to Canada in 1994 he helped found Birken Forest Monastery near Pemberton, BC. As its spiritual guide, Ajahn ("teacher") Sona has led the monastery through each stage of its growth. He established Birken (or, Sītavana, 'cool forest') in its final location south of Kamloops BC in 2001. Ven. Sona has ample experience leading meditation retreats and lecturing on Buddhist meditation and practice, both in Canada and abroad. His teachings combine tried-and-true Buddhist wisdom with modern commonsense. iPad2 video made by Brian Ruhe.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2012 00:28:33 GMT <![CDATA[My Story (2/2) ~ Using meditation to deal with panic attacks, stress & anxiety]]>  http://www.tergar.org ~ In this short video, Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche explains how he used the practice of meditation to transform the way he dealt with the crippling panic attacks and anxiety experienced as a child.

The Black Hat dance is an elaborate ritual that took many days to perform in Tibet. The purpose of the ritual is to eliminate the obstacles, which in the individual are the afflictive emotions and misconceptions that cause sufferings. At the beginning of the dance, the Black Hat Dancers make symbolic offerings of Gold Libation (tea) to the lineage Lamas, Tutelary deities (different forms of the Buddha) and Dharmapalas (truth protectors), in order to please them and receive their blessings. As stated in the Vinaya, code of monastic ethics, the robes of ordination serve as a reminder that the person wearing them is fully ordained monk. Ina similar manner, the Black Hat costume is worn by some Tantric practitioners to maintain the clarity and pride of arising in the wrathful aspect of a tantric deity. This divine confidence or pride serves a special funtion for the exclusive path of Tantra. The Black Hat dancers apply protective substances on their cheeks and forehead which give them the wrathful appearance of wrath. They exhibit this fierce aspect in order to tame the minds of sentient beings afflicted by such negative emotions of hatred, greed, and ignorance. They are not motivated by anger, but by the supreme love and compassion.]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 06:55:55 GMT <![CDATA[Who is Milarepa?]]>  A documentary exploring the historical Milarepa, based on interviews, footage from Milarepa (by Neten Chokling) and thankas depicting the life of Milarepa.

His Holiness Buddha Maitreya, the American born incarnation of Maitreya Buddha and founder of The Buddhist Association of North America has been granted land within the Monastic Zone of Lumbini and next to the Sacred Garden, birthplace of his previous incarnation to construct a Monastery representing Maitreya American Buddhism. The Monastery is designed by Buddha Maitreya with sacred geomancy where the energy of the Soul can be collected, stored and placed into the Earth so that the Earth radiates more love, kindness, humanity and less war. Buddha Maitreya has supported the renewal and restoration of sacred sites across Nepal as well as India and Tibet: rebuilding Tibetan monasteries in Dema and Litang, Tibet; constructing new Prayer halls at several Khamtsen colleges within Drepung Loseling Buddhist University, India and establishing The Great Namgyal Stupa for all Tibetan refugees within H.H. Dalai Lama's Residence in Dharamsala. In addition, Buddha Maitreya is renowned for his support of the practical daily needs of Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries with a focus on improving the basics: diet, clothing and shelter. Most recently, He has also established a network of free medical clinics within Nepal. They are located in the cities of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and at Chaimale village serving the rural outlying areas.
