Prayer for Awam Tibetan Heart Center
Emaho!
Primordially free essence, ka dag, pure from the beginning
is Dharmakaya Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri.
Naturally present luministic mind, spontaneous presence, lhun grub,
is Buddhahood of the Vajradharas.
Union of wisdom and compassion of Awam Heart Center.
On this auspicious day in this Iron Ox year (2021),
may all sentient beings have the great Awam Heart Essence liberation.
May beneficial Buddha activity spread wide. I pray in the UK.
Virtue!
May it be auspicious!

No Reference Points
Reflections on Dakini Day, June 20, 2025
We are in a difficult time. This time has been prophesied. Many things we know and have known are breaking down, including the earth and the environment. And increasingly, people are becoming aware this is going to continue in the foreseeable future. Anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, anger and conflicts are increasing.
Our reference points are dissolving.
How do we respond to this within ourselves, and in our relationships with our family, friends, in business, in our work, and with the earth?
It is all unfamiliar and can be scary.
It is an opportunity, an invitation, to become less automatic in our life. Less unconscious, less asleep.
It is an opportunity to deepen meditation. To deepen our understanding of the essence of the Buddha’s teachings including Guru Rinpoche’s. This includes teachings and understandings of the Dakinis, the Holders of the Teachings. It is said they live “no reference points”. They are called Sky Dancers. Why and how do they live “no reference points”?
It is an opportunity to become deeply curious about how the fundamentals, the essence of the teachings, apply to you in your circumstances. And how to integrate these into your life day to day.
This is the invitation to all of us now.
The fundamental Buddhist teaching about impermanence, is moving from being a concept that we can perhaps intellectually understand across a lifetime. To being concretely visible day to day.
Impermanence. Our reaction is often to reject. To try to hold onto what we know, to old patterns of conditioning and be attached to things more and more as we feel this time of uncertainty at deep levels, even in our bones.
The outer is falling away. What about the inner, secret and very secret levels? In this time, can we reorient to and take care of these so that a new outer will arise, even as it does in deity meditation practices?
This time is an invitation for each of us and collectively to do this.
We are in a Bardo. The passing of one life and before the next life arises. What will this next life be for us individually and collectively?
We each can and do influence this “next life”, in the life we live before passing. We are not powerless even though it might feel this way. What are the Teachings for navigating the Bardo in more optimum ways vs being unconscious, asleep?
It is an invitation to walk the Hero’s/ Heroine’s Journey. With more conscious intention. To come out of our deep sleep. Into increasing Awareness and to Awakening.
To become familiar with and comfortable living “no reference points”.
As I prepare to go into retreat, this is written as homage to H.H. Khenchen Lama Rinpoche, Guru Rinpoche, and the Dakinis.
And as an offering of food for thought to nourish and fortify everyone ‘in this time’.

Today is a very auspicious day. In the Western calendar, today is the first day of 2022
Tibetan Yogi New Year is also coming soon. I'd like to say Tashi Delek for all of the world. Especially Tashi Delek to all of my Dharma brothers and sisters, students, and especially to all Dharma practitioners. All the best wishes for meditation methods to come true.
Best wishes also in samsara business; mental health, and physical body health. And importantly that in meditation: Hinayana, Mahayana, Tantrayana, and the Heart Essence of Dzogchen meditation, what you wish comes true, Enlightenment, this year.
Usually everyone says Happy New Year and also have New Year's Resolutions. This is also very important. Today I share my dedication with all of my students. There are three things.
First my prayer, Mirror Wisdom. First, I take Refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. I say all Buddhas past, present, future, and Buddha's body, speech and mind are Padmasambhava. All Yidams, One Root Yidam is Vajrakilaya. All Dakinis, Power of Ocean is the nature of Samantabhadri. All Dharmapalas are powerful as King Geyser. These Four Roots I pray, blessing forever, for everyone.
This is Refuge prayer, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Secondly, if someone sees my physical body or hears my voice and respects me; did empowerments, outer transmission and teaching with me and also takes Refuge from me, and knows me with six consciousnesses – see me, hear me, touch me and miss me all know me with six consciousness, and feels how great my Master is who knows liberation of mind. May the same come true so all beings achieve fast Buddhahood. This I visualize and pray.
Thirdly, if somebody says something bad about me or thinks not friendly thoughts or feels they are an enemy, when I didn't do anything, and yet they say bad things. If people are nice to my face but behind my back are the opposite. And if they say not nice things about me to others and do bad advertising about me. Or, if someone kills me, all mind comes true Bodhicitta. I take care, Knowledge Liberation soon, I pray.
These are my prayers today. All the best to you all.
Inner Buddha Nature.
Khenchen Lama.

Tashi Delek everyone. Happy New Year everyone!
Today is the first day of the Water Tiger year. All the best for physical health and mental health in the new year.
In this year, especially do meditation and focus on more practice of Guru Rinpoche Guru Yoga. Please do this because this year is usually wrathful and it is the Water Tiger year. That means more good things happen very fast and bad things happen very easily.
Therefore, we try to do good things and have positive mind to benefit others. Make a New Year’s resolution to every day do 31 malas of Guru Yoga Guru Rinpoche's mantra. This means in one month will do a bit more than 1 lakh (100,000) and in this year, there will be 12 lakhs. When we do this, you won't have obstacles and you will do great meditation. Also, other Yidams, Dakinis, and Dharmapalas do as much as you can do. But mostly do Guru Rinpoche meditation this year.
Otherwise, outer, inner, and secret there will be lots of obstacles. We practice Guru Yoga together every day in different countries, and different areas. It is the same Guru Yoga meditation. It is the same wish and thinking of practice of Guru Yoga. In doing this, we take care of ourself safely and take care of others for world peace and to benefit other sentient beings to have Enlightenment of Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava.
Om Ah Hung Benzra Guru Padma Siddhi Hung
This is the mantra of all Buddhas of the past, the present and in the future. Therefore, it is all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas prayer and meditation. It is one Buddha meditation but it is the meditation of all Buddhas.
All Buddhas’ nature is primordial Buddha; Luministic Buddha and Nirmanakaya Buddha, all come from Guru Rinpoche. This is the reason we do Guru Rinpoche meditation. And importantly, it helps everyone especially in this modern time. Only Guru Rinpoche helps. Others can't change this world.
Please do it.
All the best to you all.
Inner Guru Rinpoche. Khenchen Lama
Today there is a sad news day. Kunzang Rigstal, the Guru of my monastery, passed away. He is a great incarnation of Medicine Buddha. He is a great Yogi and also took good care of the Yogi lineage tradition.
When he passed away, he had already understood, organized and told everyone what to do after he passed. Then, after being in Thukdam for three days, yesterday, to celebrate there was his cremation. At this time, in the fire, Ekajati, Rahula, and Damchen Dorjee Lekspa were visible. Everyone saw this.
Also, one side was wrathful Guru Rinpoche - Dorjee Drolo, and also Sinamukha. Everyone also saw this. Outside, there were rainbows, special clouds, good smells especially many noises like ‘boom’. This really showed Enlightenment Body.
After some weeks, we will open to see if there are relics. Please do Vajrasattva and dedication, 100 Buddhas blessing sentient beings to have the Great Liberation. And that his incarnation comes back for the third time, I pray.
Inner Blessing. Khenchen Lama.
Light Body is a very useful meditation. Usually, people experience a lot of things such as difficulties, sickness, and generally being unhealthy. These all come from desire, attachment, jealousy, anger and also ego. Most people are more attached to “mine”, “me”, and “I” and then easily become ill, sick and have negative things.
If you try to do meditation, your physical body is Light. When you don't try desire, you will be healthier, and you will not be ill or sick. If you do Light Body meditation, it will 95% help your health.
Light Body is like medicine. Light Body changes your physical body. Light Body is nature of mind laws. Then you will easily have luminous mind. When you do Light Body visualization, you are close to your Four Roots. Do more Light Body thinking, meditation, and visualization meditation and rest in Light Body. Light Body is meditation that benefits everyone.
If you do Light Body visualization more and more, your eating and drinking changes. After a while, naturally, you won't need to drink or eat as before. Therefore, everyone, do Light Body meditation in outer, inner, and secret way. This will benefit your physical body, your speaking, and your mind.
This is nature of Light meditation. Then sometimes your physical body is like a candle or light or like the sun and the moon. All light luminosity, light deities, light Rigpa.
Inner Light Body. Khenchen Lama.
Awam Tibetan Heart Center
Who We Are
Awam Tibetan Heart Center is a Tibetan Buddhist Yogi center. ‘Awam’ means “compassion and wisdom”.
The Yogi tradition in Tibetan Buddhism is for men and women who are interested in deepening their compassion and wisdom and for those interested in enlightenment while living their lives in our complex world.
The Yogi tradition began informally in the 8th C.E. The King of Tibet invited Padmasambhava to come and give him teachings. He wanted to become enlightened that life even while maintaining his lifestyle and responsibilities as a King.
During this time of great difficulty and uncertainty, the Awam Tibetan Heart Center's intention is to share teachings that facilitate a calm and peaceful mind, clarity, compassion, wisdom, and physical and mental health in the midst of these challenges. Further, the goal is to explore the teachings and apply them in one’s life, regardless of one’s circumstances.
Specific meditation practices for COVID-19 are available, and for those interested, some teachings can rapidly lead to enlightenment.
H.H. Khenchen Lama Rinpoche, is our Spiritual Director. He is continuing the Yogi tradition that was begun by Nubchen Sangye Yeshe, a Heart student of Guru Rinpoche’s.
We invite you to join us!
