Celebrate the New (Tibetan) Year with the Days of Miracles!
“Big Love” Remembering the Kindness of Lama Yeshe
February 24, 2023 @ 7pm (IST)
On Losar Day we also honor the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s passing away. Following Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s advice, we started the tradition of inviting older students who knew Lama to share their favorite stories about Lama Yeshe to keep his memory alive.
Teacher
As an adolescent in Berkeley in the 1960’s, Paula began her search for a means to shift the dominant paradigm of our perceptions of reality in order to survive the coming environmental chaos and resulting social unrest. A decade later she met Lama Thubten Yeshe and told Lama that she wanted to become a mahasiddha.
I discovered a totally unique, mind-blowing, game-changing science of mind/spirit/ body that I thought could shift our perceptions to something bigger, to actually be able to go beyond small ego needs and feel the interconnectedness of all life.
Standing on the balcony of the Green Hotel In McLeod Ganj, the light of bodhicitta filled my heart and all of space with the transitory nature of all existence and I was never the same again.
I had studied the ecology of our planet, here was the ecology of mind. Here was the science that was missing from my education that can transform human greed and ignorance to end war and save life as we know it on Earth.
Following the advice of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Paula embarked on a 40-year journey of study and retreats, including two long retreats of 3 and 4 years.
I was compelled to investigate, so I embarked on a lifelong experiment to see if a western person could indeed realise what I was being taught and experiencing in the presence of great Buddhist teachers, such as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama…
In the last 13 years, Paula has traveled in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa giving talks, leading meditations and meeting wonderful heart friends.
She is happy to share her insights that make meditation full of joy, love, clarity and authenticity.
