AZA/New Orleans Zen Temple - Zazen
Zazen is a daily practice. Not easy, not difficult. But very effective in expanding consciousness and developing intuition. And not only does zazen release great energy, it is the posture of awakening. While practicing, do not seek to gain anything. Without object, only concentrate on the posture, the breathing and the attitude of mind.

Four Seals of Dharma March 2000

Buddhism In a Nutshell by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
The Four Seals of Dharma are:



<1> All compounded things are impermanent.

<2> All emotions are painful. This is something that only Buddhists would talk about. Many religions worship things like love with celebration and songs. Buddhists think, This is all suffering.

<3> All phenomena are empty; they are without inherent existence. This is actually the ultimate view of Buddhism; the other three are grounded on this third seal.

<4> The fourth seal is that nirvana is beyond extremes.


Siddhartha's Intent - Dzongsar Monastery, Tibet

This Sakyapa monastery was the residence of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1821-1894) and Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1896-1959). During the lives of these two extraordinary spiritual leaders, Dzongsar Monastery became a centre for the rime or non-sectarian approach to the study and practice of Buddhism, and great lamas of all the four Tibetan traditions went there to study.
Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1896 - 1959) was the most outstanding Tibetan master of this century. Authority on all traditions and holder of all lineages, he was the heart of the "non-partisan" movement in Tibet. Amongst many others he was the teacher of the Dalia Lama and of Sogyal Rinpoche.
