As a member of a new generation of Tibetan Buddhist high teachers, His Eminence Gyana Vajra Rinpoche is coming to Seattle to give a teaching on "The Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to the Dharma" at 7:30 p.m., Friday, July 25, 2008; and a Long Life Initiation at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 26. The teaching and the blessing ceremony will take place at the Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in Seattle.

...The Four Thoughts are: to appreciate the opportunity of the preciousness of this human birth; to recognize our own mortality, as well as the impermanence of all phenomena; to recognize that our behavior is going to shape our experience in this life and future lives ("karma"); to recognize our confusion and the difficulties of this worldly life ("samsara").
