by Tiziana Ciasullo The Lama Gangchen Institute was recently launched in Boston, Usa. Founded by the American Buddhist master Lama Kadag it was set up to propagate Buddhist teachings and in particular the NgalSo Self-Healing practice. Lama Kadag began to study and practise the teachings of Buddha in 1969 when he joined a college of Chinese Buddhism. A few years later he met Chogyal Trungpa Rinpoche who conferred him the name of «Kadag». Under his guidance, he studied Vajrayana Buddhism and in 1992, became a Nyingmapa Lama. In 1997, during a pilgrimage to Sri Lanka, he met Lama Gangchen in whom he immediately recognised a great master. Invited by Lama Gangchen to the International Congress on Alternative Medicine organised in Madrid every year since 1992, by the Lama Gangchen World Peace Foundation, he developed a great interest in the NgalSo Self-Healing practice. At the Lama Gangchen Institute, Lama Kadag guides «Shine» and NgalSo Tantric Self-Healing meditation courses. Once a month, on a Sunday morning, he offers dharma teachings. Lama Kadag is convinced that the best «way» in modern society, is the tantric practice: a way to open one’s own heart and develop the five fundamental characteristics of a Bodhisattva, (courage, generosity, stability, concentration, wisdom), and that the «main problem in modern society is that everyone is only concerned with their own wellbeing, forgetting to put themselves in the place of others». |
