Monthly Session by Christian Bernert

JOURNEY BEYOND: DEATH AND DYING IN TIBETAN BUDDHISM

Friday 6 June from 20:30 to 22:00. Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00 at Sakya Tsechen Ling, Kuttolsheim :

In Tibetan Buddhism, death is not viewed as an end, but as a crucial transition that offers extraordinary potential for liberation. In this weekend seminar, we explore how confronting our mortality can deepen our appreciation for life and accelerate spiritual growth. We discuss contemplative practices on impermanence and death that help us create a meaningful life, as well as traditional teachings on the bardo (the transitional phases of consciousness), with emphasis on the stages of the dying process.

Seminar Topics :

•⁠  ⁠Understanding the Tibetan Buddhist view of death as an opportunity for enlightenment

•⁠  ⁠Contemplative practices for confronting impermanence and appreciating our present life

•⁠  ⁠The stages of dying and bardo states according to traditional texts

•⁠  ⁠Thoughts on personal preparation and supporting others

SAGA DAWA DÜCHEN – PRAYERS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE

Wednesday 11 June from 20:00 to 24:00, on-site at Sakya Tsechen Ling, Kuttolsheim, and by visioconférence Zoom

SAGA DAWA DÜCHEN is one of the four major Buddhist feasts. It celebrates Buddha Shakyamuni’s enlightenment and Parinirvana. It is one of the most powerful days of the year and being together to practise and recite the special prayers generates boundless merit, which we will dedicate in particular to universal peace and the benefit of all sentient beings. 

You are all welcome to participate so that together we can make our indirect contribution to pacifying the difficulties the world is facing. You may certainly also participate in just one part of the evening.

The prayers recited can be downloaded HERE.

On his enlightenment at the age of thirty-five in Bodhgaya, the Buddha proclaimed:

“Profound peace, natural simplicity, uncompounded luminosity, I have found a nectar-like Dharma.”

When Buddha lay dying in a forest grove in Kushinagara, surrounded by five hundred of his disciples, he said to them with his last breath:

“It is in the nature of all things that take form to dissolve again. Strive with your whole being to attain perfection.”

There are many aspects of illness and everyone is affected in one way or another.

Khenchen Sherab Gyaltsen Amipa, at your feet I bow! 

(Adapted from a Milarepa’s vajra song)

BUDDHA AMITAYUS – TEACHING & INITIATION

Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00 at Sakya Tsechen Ling, Kuttolsheim :

In Vajrayana contexts, Buddha Amitabha in his Sambhogakaya form is referred to as Buddha Amitayus, ‘The Buddha of Boundless Life.’ He is particularly associated with longevity. The two are inseparable but appear as different manifestations. 

In the Sakya school, the special long-life yoga associated with the Nine Aspects of Buddha Amitayus is practiced. 

This seminar coincides with the beginning of the Tibetan New Year, which astrologically is considered a particularly challenging year. Therefore, it is highly appropriate to transmit and receive this initiation as a means of protection for ourselves and others.

LES TROIS MISES EN MOUVEMENT DE LA ROUE DU DHARMA, 3^ème partie : L’ESPRIT LUMINEUX ET LES TROIS NATURES

Le vendredi 18 octobre de 20h30 à 22h, et les samedi 19 et dimanche 20 octobre de 10h à 12h et de 14h à 16h à Sakya Tsechen Ling, Kuttolsheim :

Les trois mises en mouvement de la roue du Dharma

Pour guider ses disciples vers la libération et l’éveil, le Bouddha a donné un large éventail d’enseignements adaptés à leurs besoins et capacités individuels. Ces enseignements ont ensuite été regroupés en trois classes d’enseignements appelés les trois mises en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, chaque mise en mouvement révélant une autre dimension essentielle du chemin. Durant les séminaires des trois années (2022-2024), nous abordons tour à tour chacune de ces classes d’enseignements. 

2022 : Les trois tours de la roue du Dharma, 1ère partie : Se libérer du samsara 

Dans la première mise en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, le sujet principal de l’enseignement du Bouddha porte sur les Quatre Nobles Vérités. Cet enseignement est le fondement de tout le système de pensée et de pratique bouddhique de toutes les traditions et lignées. Dans ce séminaire, la discussion de ce sujet a été soutenue par une lecture du Soutra de la mise en mouvement de la roue du Dharma et a exploré d’importants aspects connexes des enseignements de l’Abhidharma. 

2023 : Les trois mises en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, 2^ème partie : L’absence de caractéristiques

Le sujet spécifique de la seconde mise en mouvement de la roue du Dharma est la profonde sagesse de la vacuité. Cela a été longuement exposé dans les soutras de la perfection de la sagesse et plus tard commenté par de nombreux grands maîtres, notamment Ārya Nāgārjuna et les enseignants de l’école Madhyamaka. 

Dans ce séminaire nous avons exploré la notion de réalité comme elle est enseignée dans les soutras de la perfection de la sagesse. Notre étude du “Soutra du Cœur” a été basée sur un commentaire du grand maître Sakya, Rongteun Sheja Kunrig, et accompagnée par une introduction à l’école de la Voie du Milieu (Madhyamaka).

2024 : Les trois mises en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, 3^ème partie : L’esprit lumineux et les trois natures 

Dans la troisième mise en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, le Bouddha a enseigné ce que l’on appelle la signification définitive de ses enseignements. Dans cette classe d’enseignements, le Bouddha a révélé des enseignements extraordinaires sur l’esprit, la nature de Bouddha et des moyens profonds de comprendre la réalité conventionnelle et ultime, complétant ainsi les enseignements antérieurs. L’exploration de ce sujet sera soutenue par des lectures du soutra sur la nature de Bouddha, du soutra de la descente à Lanka et du soutra dévoilant l’intention.

Il a obtenu une maîtrise en études religieuses et en tibétologie de l’Université de Vienne en 2009, suivie d’une formation de traducteur de deux ans à l’Académie bouddhiste internationale (IBA) à Katmandou, où il avait participé à des programmes d’été annuels depuis sa création en 2001. Membre fondateur du Chödung Karmo Translation Group, dont la vision est la traduction d’œuvres importantes de la tradition Sakya, il continue de travailler en étroite collaboration avec l’IBA. Il coordonne actuellement pour le programme IBA The Complete Path avec Sa Sainteté le 42^ème Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra Rinpoché, un cours de sept ans sur la théorie et la pratique de base de la lignée Sakya. En 2021, il rejoint l’équipe de traducteurs internes du Khyentse Vision Project, dont la mission est la traduction des œuvres complètes de Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Christian a publié des traductions de textes tibétains classiques sur la pensée et la pratique bouddhistes, ainsi que des enseignements de maîtres contemporains. Ses publications incluent Words of a Gentle Sage: Collected Teachings of Khenchen Appey Rinpoche, Vol. 1 (2018), Adorning Maitreya’s Intent: A Commentary on the Madhyāntavibhāga par Rongtön Sheja Kunrik (2017), et divers sūtras pour 84000. Christian vit actuellement à An Hoï, au Vietnam. Pendant son temps libre, il s’occupe d’un autre projet qui lui tient à cœur, le projet Bodhisvara, des enregistrements de textes bouddhistes classiques chantés en sanskrit.

To crown the great accumulation of mantras made by all of us in favour of the long life of His Holiness Kyabgön Gongma Trichen Rinpoche on the occasion of his 80th birthday, and to crown the two retreats on White Tara that Khenpo Tashi has also guided for this purpose, Khenpo Tashi and Lama Sherab Sangpo will lead a great long life ritual in Kuttolsheim in relation to White Tara. 

This will be an opportunity to dedicate the great accumulation made by all of us for the long life and good health of His Holiness Kyabgön Gongma Trichen Rinpoche, so that he may continue to benefit all beings with the nectar of his teachings and blessings.

You can participate in the ritual in presence (no registration needed) or via Zoom HERE.

Starting in September, a new five-year study programme – the Dharma Chakra Programme – on the main topics of Buddhist philosophy will begin, based on the study curriculum of the great monastic academies.

The teachings will be given by His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra Rinpoche. The teachings and study materials will be available online in English. In the coming years, we will follow this very important course of study by offering translations of the teachings into Italian, French, German and Dutch.
