The Art of Becoming by Traleg Khandro - 2022 Buddhist Winter School Session 4

From a Buddhist perspective there is more of an emphasis on “Becoming” or progressing, than on what we have been or done, or what has happened to us in the past. We do not want to deny our past, or our life story, nor do we want to be burdened and unnecessarily held back by it. How do we gain more freedom in our lives to “Become” more and to find greater ease within ourselves and with our dealings with others? It is easy to feel trapped and see our capacity as fixed. We can limit how we experience ourselves and the world around us when our responses - our emotional reaction-patterns and thought patterns become highly habituated. We can become stuck. In this talk Traleg Khandro discusses how we can improve the quality of our life experience through changing how we respond to everyday disturbances and annoyances in the mind. Khandro-la also introduces meditation techniques that can loosen or change how we habitually respond to ourselves and the world helping to give us more freedom from everyday suffering, and to allow us to lighten the load of the past in order to enjoy life more and “Become” more within ourselves.
Traleg Khandro, long-time student and wife to the late Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX, is a Director at E-Vam Institute in Melbourne and the U.S, and runs Shogam Publications, Traleg Rinpoche’s publishing arm. Khandro studied Buddhism under Traleg Rinpoche’s guidance for many years and has undertaken numerous long meditation retreats. Khandro-la has given commentary of Rinpoche’s teachings in Australia, America, Europe, U.K., and South-East Asia. At Rinpoche’s request Khandro-la also received traditional LuJong (Tibetan Yoga) training after qualifying as a Hatha Yoga instructor. Khandro-la has a degree in Psychology.
