The Parchangma Chöd is an integral part of Do Khyentse’s Dzinpa Rangdröl (Self-Liberation of Clinging) treasure cycle (terma). Chöd is a powerful practice that brings understanding to the root of our pain and offers a concrete method for the healing of addictions, traumas, and other “demons” in our inner and outer worlds. It is a unique blend of the Tibetan Shamanic traditions and the Buddhist principles of compassion and emptiness. This centuries-old practice is sung and accompanied by a traditional Chöd drum and bell. Healing comes when fear, fixation, and self-clinging are cut through, giving rise to awareness of the emptiness of mental obscurations.

The Parchangma Chöd is an integral part of Do Khyentse’s Dzinpa Rangdröl (Self-Liberation of Clinging) treasure cycle (terma). Chöd is a powerful practice that brings understanding to the root of our pain and offers a concrete method for the healing of addictions, traumas, and other “demons” in our inner and outer worlds. It is a unique blend of the Tibetan Shamanic traditions and the Buddhist principles of compassion and emptiness. This centuries-old practice is sung and accompanied by a traditional Chöd drum and bell. Healing comes when fear, fixation, and self-clinging are cut through, giving rise to awareness of the emptiness of mental obscurations.

See more details Experience the Mandala of the Five Wisdom Buddhas in everyday life with Dr. Barbara Staemmler Experience the Mandala of the Five Wisdom Buddhas in everyday life with Dr. Barbara Staemmler October 17, 2023 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Finding peace within ourselves and in the world is often not easy in these troubled times. By engaging and working with a mandala we can develop the qualities we need to support others and ourselves. A mandala is a symmetrical, usually circular, symbol of the universe that is used to represent and convey deeper meaning in a non-verbal way. The symbolism also often addresses unconscious, helpful areas of our psyche. In our Würzburg Sangha, beginning in 2023, we will therefore deal intensively with the mandala of the five wisdom buddhas. These wisdom Buddhas represent peaceful awakened qualities. They help us to transform difficult emotions like not wanting to know, not looking, anger, rejection and greedy wanting into the wisdom of the Buddhas. But what does that mean in concrete terms in our everyday life when we are annoyed with our neighbors, are caught up in stress or look at the news from all over the world with concern? We will deal with this question intensively. There is also an introduction to the five different qualities of wisdom of these Buddhas. We will also approach possible answers using different methods and mutual exchange. The meetings take place online and are open to everyone. In summer we will meet live on site in Würzburg for a Sangha day. Barbara Staemmler will teach the complete meditation practice as developed by Lama Tsultrim and give the transmission that day. It makes sense to attend all meetings live online if possible. However, recordings are also made available. The meetings are on a Dana basis, there is no course fee.

The Parchangma Chöd is an integral part of Do Khyentse’s Dzinpa Rangdröl (Self-Liberation of Clinging) treasure cycle (terma). Chöd is a powerful practice that brings understanding to the root of our pain and offers a concrete method for the healing of addictions, traumas, and other “demons” in our inner and outer worlds. It is a unique blend of the Tibetan Shamanic traditions and the Buddhist principles of compassion and emptiness. This centuries-old practice is sung and accompanied by a traditional Chöd drum and bell. Healing comes when fear, fixation, and self-clinging are cut through, giving rise to awareness of the emptiness of mental obscurations.
