Friday, February 3, 7:00 pm: Public talk
“Healing the Emotions: Be a Victim no More” Suggested Donation $15

Healing the Emotions Retreat

Sometimes it can seem as if suffering follows us like our shadow. It doesn?t have to be this way. As we go through our daily life we experience a variety of emotions and feelings, which are uncomfortable at best and sometimes very painful to ourselves and those around us. Disappointments, jealousy, fear, anger, uncertainty, shattered plans, painful memories are just a few examples of this. Life doesn?t need to be this painful. This weekend program will introduce you to a deeper understanding of how your emotions work and how to work with your emotions. It is possible for these emotional raw places to heal and for you to experience your inherent wellbeing.

Suggested Donation $60 for one day or $110 for both days. (Members $50 and $90) Lunch is included.

Lama Tsultrim Yeshe (John Samuelson) has been a student of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, Abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, since 1989. He completed the first three-year retreat at Karme Ling, led by Khenpo Karthar, and took monastic vows with His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche in 1994. He is a retired prison Chaplain and has worked with people with emotional difficulties for years. Lama Yeshe is the resident Lama at the Hay River Karma Thegsum Choling. He teaches and leads retreats at Kagyu centers throughout North America.

Albany KTC Tibetan Buddhist Study and Meditation Center provides authentic teachings and practices of the Karma Kagyu school Tibetan Buddhism. Located in Albany, NY, we are easily accessible to those living in New York's Capital District region (Albany, Schenectady, and Troy). We are an affiliate center of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), the North American seat of His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje.

Albany KTC offers free meditation instruction, the study of Karma Kagyu Buddhist teachings in a group setting, the opportunity to learn more advanced meditation practices, and Tibetan language instruction.  In addition, Buddhist teachers from around the world visit each year.

Albany KTC is also fortunate enough to have our own resident Lama (teacher), Lama Zopa. Lama Zopa, a graduate of two Karma Kagyu Buddhist three year retreats, provides teachings weekly.

Please be sure to look at our current schedule as well as our programs geared to folks new to Buddhism and meditation practice. We also have a growing library of online audio recordings available of teachings given at our center that cover a variety of topics found in Buddhism. Contact us for further information.

May all sentient beings gain happiness and the cause of happiness
May all be free from suffering and the cause of suffering
May they never be cut off from the highest bliss which is devoid of suffering
May they come to rest in the great impartiality, which is free of attachment and aversion
