“True peace begins with conscious breathing—uniting mind, body, and the essence of life.” – Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche

The modern hero of peace, human rights, compassion, and unselfish love, the Honorable Mr. Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, dies at age 100. Human life is transient. May the late Jimmy Carter Rest in Peace. With prayers, Shyalpa Rinpoche

Our appointment with life is now. Peace, freedom, and joy cannot wait for tomorrow -STR

“Breath is the bridge to the present moment, where peace, joy, and freedom are always waiting.” – Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche

May this holiday season remind us of our shared humanity and the power of indestructible compassion to live our lives unconditionally in the moment without compromising. Wishing you all true love, peace and most meaningful connections with Christmas joy!🎄✨ 1/3

“When we transcend sides and see through the eyes of compassion, peace becomes possible for all.” – Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche

NATURAL FREEDOM “Protecting and defending our self image totally drains us of pure energy. Striving to define and validate our conditional identity precipitates anxiety and stress. When we realize who we are, we will be totally content.” (Living Fully, Chapter 1)

Every moment is valid, just as it is. If you reject the circumstances of this moment, you are not fully present. It may appear to you as good or bad, happy or sad, but when you embrace the moment fully, it is perfect and complete.

Let Peace be our priority. Perhaps now is the time that we are all being called to compassionately confront challenging realties, in service of our world today.

Begin every activity with a pure intention. When you ennoble your actions with pure intention, you create a genuine cause for your own happiness and for the happiness of others. #intention #buddhism #happiness

When you are naturally in the effortless meditation, you are in the continuum of awareness of nowness, in the absolute nature of the mind. 1/3

Human rights are all about respecting basic goodness and dignity. We all must realize that human rights are our birthright. Hence, as a responsible intelligent being, we must act compassionately with awakened mind and skillful means to uphold our own dignity and the dignity of all people. 1/2

"Human dignity is not granted—it is inherent. On #HumanRightsDay, let us remember that peace flourishes where compassion prevails and rights are upheld. May we all strive to protect the freedom and dignity of every being.” 🌍✨ #CompassionForAll #Peace – Rinpoche Shyalpa

“Perhaps it is as simple as pausing for a while and feeling your breath. To have this ability to rest, to let go of control, and allow things to take their course is a very good start.” - Shaylpa Rinpoche #Buddism

Peace is a state of ease, of equanimity. If one only depends on outer circumstances, it is difficult to find peace because everything outside of oneself is conditional and always subject to change. #peacesanctuary #buddhism #nepal

“The principal symbol in the sanctuary design is the lotus flower. The lotus grows in the mud but rises in the warmth and sunlight, to blossom as a most beautiful flower. The lotus flower represents the purity and perfection of spiritual awakening and enlightenment.” - Shaylpa Rinpoche

“Let’s make peace more fashionable than war. First, we need to have less war within ourselves—less inner conflict and struggle—and then we will experience more harmony with others.” - Shyalpa Rinpoche #peacesanctuary #buddhism #nepal

A Very Happy #WorldSoilDay to you. Soil is fundamental for all as it is the real natural resource. Soil must be understood in two ways. Outer soil in where all plants grow and we all beings are physically dependent on it to survive.

“As human beings, we are constantly undergoing ceaseless transformation and change. So perhaps it is best not to dwell too much on who we are or where we have been. I feel that the message is much more important than the messenger” - Shyalpa Rinpoche #transformation #buddhism #peace

As human beings, we are fundamentally the same. On this World AIDS Day, let us recognize that the survival and flourishing of the 8 billion people on this planet depend on acknowledging that we are one human family.
