An Evening with Lama Tsering Everest

Lama Tsering Everest is a Northwest native and resident Lama at Khadro Ling temple in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 1981 she began translating for H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, traveling extensively throughout the world. After completing the traditional 3 year retreat in 1995, she received full teaching transmission from Rinpoche, in which he also recognized her as an emanation of Tara.

Being in the presence of Lama Tsering is a remarkable gift. Her articulation of Buddhist wisdom reaches beyond religious designation, appealing to our common heart of compassion. She encourages us to go beyond narrow ideas and find what might be called "big mind", an approach to life that is inclusive and embracing. Her teachings are often humorous, profound, and filled with colorful stories.

Tara is the mother of all Buddhas. She represents the perfection of enlightened mind manifesting in feminine form. Countless eons ago, Princess Moon of Wisdom attained full realization. At that time, the monks considered the male body to be a superior vehicle for attaining enlightenment, and advised her to take rebirth accordingly. Moon of Wisdom, realizing all form, both male and female to have no inherent reality, made the commitment to always take rebirth in female form. Through practice of Red Tara, it becomes possible to reach a deep level of peace free of external circumstances increasing well being, quelling fear and anxiety, and ultimately revealing the true nature of mind.
