Mingyur Rinpoche in Tibet Open House
Friday 22 July 7.00 pm - 9.00 pm - lecture "Mind, the way to happiness" with Mingyur Rinpoche in Tibet Open House
Many spend a lot of time dwelling on the past, planning for the future, and cruising through daily life on autopilot. They live under the mistaken assumption that once they have achieved this or that and external circumstances have adjusted to their expectations, they will undoubtedly approach the imaginary standard of perfect happiness and contentment.
But what is the ingredient that really has the potential to contribute to lasting happiness? And how to actually "be happy" despite the often very harrowing circumstances of today's world? In this lecture, Mingyur Rinpoche will shed light on how to get in touch with the natural qualities of one's own mind and through them, the inner source of joy and peace, independent of external conditions.

Education
Tibetan medicine, also known as Sowa Rigpa, is a precious heritage of Tibet. It is a holistic system of treatment and prevention for maintaining equilibrium of body, energy and mind. It is very beneficial even for our European society that is why we strive for its propagation in Czech Republic.
We have organized two intensive workshops about Tibetan medicine in the past. For both of these course we invited an experienced Tibetan healer MUDr. Darima Balzhinimaeva, a student of the renowned Emchi Lama Dr. Dugarov from the Republic of Buryatia.
We also cooperate with Roman Nenadl from Czech company specializing to Tibetan Medicine products - Norbu tibetská medicína, s.r.o.
We are preparing two summer workshopd with
MUDr. Darima Balzhinimaeva in June 2022, following individual consultations.
More details will be published soon.

The natural world is our home. It is not necessarily sacred or holy. It is simply where we live. It is therefore in our interest to look after it. This is common sense.

An early participant in the movement of Tibetan contemporary art in Nepal, he was the subject of a solo exhibition titled Charcoal Paintings at the Indigo Gallery in Kathmandu in 2001. In 2004, he founded and opened GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art), the first gallery of contemporary Tibetan art in Nepal, which was later forcibly closed given the political nature of the exhibitions.
