The Nurturing effects of TsaLung and Specific Foods as Utilized in Tibetan Medicine
August 21st, 2022- 12pm to 1:30 pm (PT) and 9pm-10:30pm (CET) on Zoom
With Menpa Geshe Sherab Nyima
Last month Chaphur Rinpoche taught us the Tantric practice of Tsa Lung. Through this practice the five subtle winds of the chakras are purified. As you may recall, the first Tsa Lung exercise (Gyin-Gyu) cleanses the subtle wind of the head and throat areas, , the second exercise (Sog-Zin) purifies the subtle winds of the heart and chest area, the third (Me-Nyam) clears the winds of the navel chakra, the fourth (Chab-Je) purifies the pervasive chakra of the entire body and the fifth (Thur-Sel) cleanses the winds of the secret chakra.
Menpa Geshe Sherab Nyima is going to explain the connections between the Tantric practice of Tsa Lung and the healing methodology of Tibetan Medicine (Bum Zhi). Taught by Buddha Tonpa Shenrab, the Bum Zhi is the root text of Tibetan Medicine. Bum Zhi explains the nurturing effects of the subtle winds and subtle channels on physical, mental and emotional health and well =being. Menpa Geshe Sherab will also instruct us regarding the nurturing role of particular foods as practiced very effectively in Tibetan Medicine. In this fascinating teaching, Menpa Geshe Sherab will utilize his training as a Geshe in the Tantric practice of Tsa Lung as well as his training as a Tibetan Medical Doctor (Menpa) to help us understand the powerful nurturing connections that can bring us exceptional health, happiness and well being.
