Stops Along the Way. A Brief History of My Path. With Paul Noland
Channel: Lion's Roar
Date: 15/02/2023

As a new member of Lion’s Roar, this will be my first talk which I am entitling “Stops along the way,” in which I will give a brief history of my journey along the path which brought me to this cushion before you, doing one of the most difficult things I have done in a while as I am not a big talker and not a great revealer about myself.

This talk can’t be complete without exploring the meanings of the Tibetan word “Tendrel," which has multiple layered meanings. The main definition is dependent origination, or connection or relationship. And, it has secondary meanings such as auspicious occurrence, serendipity, and synchronicity, which I will label fun facts as it pertains to my story.

Slide show to follow, to illustrate some of those stops along the way.

Lion's Roar Dharma Center at Do Nga Dargey Temple in Sacramento, California, is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple within the Gelugpa Lineage.  Lama Yeshe Jinpa is the spiritual director and resident teacher of Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, which he co-founded with Geshe Losang Gyatso in 1992. In 1995, Lama Jinpa received direct heart/mind transmission from Geshe Gyatso after 25 years of Dharma practice and study. He is one of the few western lamas thus far recognized within the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
