University Open Air: Healing: Meditation on the Three-Syllable Mantra. A Simple Method of Healing Oneself and Others

Fri, Apr 19 2024
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Center for Brooklyn History

BPL Presents Center for Brooklyn History humanities and art University Open Air


The power of mantra is beyond our imagination, so is visualization. The combination of mantra recitation and visualization is more powerful. For centuries the three-syllable mantra meditation practice has been one of the key practices of Tibetan Buddhist yogis for cleansing the channels and manipulating the wind (Sanskrit vayu; Tibetan loong) element and purifying karmic imprints and healing diseases.

 

In this session Dr. Chok will introduce in detail the formation of the syllables, how to visualize and recite syllables, how they affect our chakras and pranas/energies, and how to heal oneself and others, near and distant.

 

*Participants should bring a yoga mat or blanket—something to sit on.

Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam has dedicated his career to the continuance of Tibetan Buddhist culture and language in modern society. Ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he studied and practiced as a Tibetan monk for ten years. Having advanced his studies through institutions for two decades, Dr. Chok has obtained multiple degrees in Buddhist and Tibetan studies, including his PhD from the University of Delhi. He has studied and trained for decades in Buddhist studies, Tibetan yoga, healing, and meditation under the direction of many renowned Tibetan teachers of the major and minor Tibetan Buddhist traditions. An author, translator, and language instructor, Dr. Chok served as the Head of the Research and Translation Department at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala for thirteen years before relocating to the United States in 2019. Dr. Chok has taught prolifically in India, the United States, and over a dozen other countries, offering diverse and inclusive teaching series on meditation, Tibetan yoga, healing, Buddhist philosophy, and Tibetan language.
