Notes and Events:

The main purpose of ordaining is to free yourself from worldly commitments and worries so that you may have the opportunity to fully commit yourself to meditation and break away from the shackles of desire so that you may find true happiness.

Monks manage to free themselves from worldly desire by fulfilling the daily routine required of them by the tenets laid down by the Lord Buddha. In this case, the word ‘duty’ (kicavatra) is a compound made up of two words: ‘kica’ and ‘vatra’.

‘Kica’ means duties that are so important that they are considered compulsory. ‘Vatra’ means things that are advisable do, although not required. If you choose not do these latter, the consequences may not be disastrous – they do not break the monastic discipline – but they could result in the lessening of respect by those who support the monks out of faith. However, if you comply with these activities, the level of respect accorded on you will only improve and strengthen. These items of daily routine will also help to free you from worldly desire.

Notes and Events:

The Iqaluit Soto Zen Group offers meditation instruction and practice in the Buddhist tradition of Soto Zen, open to all individuals regardless of faith, background and level of experience. Its principal method, zazen meditation, is a philosophical yet practical approach: through it, we confront the problem of suffering by opening ourselves to the present, by learning from the truth of compassion, and by developping inner discipline. Zen does not require beliefs. It encourages the development of understanding, of right action, and of human emotion.

We offer an informal "drop-in" program every Wednesday evening, 7PM to 8PM; and a regular Sunday practice program (1st Sunday = Beginner Session, 2nd Sunday = Zazen and Dharma Service Session, 3rd Sunday = Full Zazen Session, 4th Sunday = Zazen and Dharma Discussion Session). All offered sessions are open to all faiths and levels of expérience.

Notes and Events:

THE JAM TSE CHO LING TIBETAN BUDDHIST TEMPLE IN CALGARY (JTCL), was founded by His Eminence The 9th Tulku Neten Rinpoche. Our Temple draws on the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and is dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism of Nalanda tradition and to make available its precious teachings to all who seek to live happy and meaningful lives and become instrumental in promoting peace and harmony among all people. Through this, our temple hopes to fulfil the purpose of Buddha’s teachings, helping practitioners to realize their boundless compassion and wisdom that safeguard and protect the welfare of all living beings and ultimately attain full enlightenment.

The meaning of Jam Tse Cho Ling:

• JAM means loving-kindness
• TSE means compassion
  
• CHO means Buddha’s teachings or Doctrine or Dharma. It can be subsumed under two categories:
  • Scriptural teachings: The transmission of Buddha’s teachings extant in oral and scriptural form.
  • The transmission of insight: wisdom and realizations gained through practice of the training.
    
• LING means a Centre where Buddha’s doctrine is taught and practiced
  

As we create this webpage, we remember the kindness that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has shown to all sentient beings and his relentless work to create a world of peace and compassion. May we each aspire to emulate His example. Long Live H.H. 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. May His aspirations for world and Tibet be realized quickly.
