Creating Peace in Times of Turmoil
In difficult times, we often try to make sense of a situation by identifying a victim and an aggressor. Lama Tsering Everest discusses how important it is to change our perspective if we wish to find lasting peace and happiness. She points out that the purpose of any authentic spiritual path is to heal dualistic mind by discovering our inner wisdom--absolute truth. Weaving teachings on the four noble truths and the four immeasurable qualities of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity, she introduces methods for realizing the absolute truth of the nature of mind.

The Dakini, the Lama, and the Landscape of Practice
On the most exalted level, the dakini is basic space itself--emptiness, the source of phenomena. Since no amount of discussion alone brings one to the realization of such profound topics, Lama Tsering Everest stresses that it is the student's faith and the lama's blessing that make all aspects of realization possible. She then gives a sweeping overview of Vajrayana practice as the arena in which the student-teacher relationship unfolds to spiritual maturity. 1.75 hours.

Exposing the Essence of Mind
Seattle, WA 2004
Death is a doorway, an opportunity to realize the true, pure nature of our mind--the very essence of our being. To take advantage of this opportunity, however, requires diligent preparation: we must train our minds to recognize and rest in our true nature, and shift our priorities, using every moment to realize the truth that transcends death and birth.

The Four Immeasurables
Lama Tsering bases this introduction to the four immeasurable qualities--love, compassion, joy, and equanimity--on the traditional Buddhist teaching that all beings have been our mothers at some time in our past lives. In a personal and direct way, she discusses the difficulties that she and many Westerners have encountered in trying to understand this teaching, but points out that it is this very teaching, when applied to our daily lives, that gives rise to the four immeasurable qualities within us. During a lively question and answer session, Lama Tsering also gives a detailed teaching on relative truth and absolute truth, and discusses the importance of working with a spiritual teacher.

Relationships in Spiritual Life
In the warm, direct, and humorous manner for which she is known, Lama Tsering Everest discusses how to make relationships an important element of spiritual growth. Self-centeredness never leads to real fulfillment, so out of need and with false hope we often look to others for happiness. However, from the Buddhist perspective, relationships are not about "getting"; they are about giving selflessly, without expecting anything in return. 2 CDs.

Transcending the Divided Mind
Arcata, CA 2004
Lama Tsering addresses the fundamental mistake in our perception of reality: perceiving ourselves as separate from everything and everyone around us. This mistake is the source of all suffering--war, sickness, aging, and death. However, the poisions of the mind that result from our confused perception are adventitious and can be transformed. By developing love and compassion, we can overcome self-absorption and reveal the perfect, absolute truth that is beyond division. 2 CDs.
