Visit of H.H. XVI Gyalwa Karmapa to the United States 1974, video, calligraphy, letter, poem and photos
The Vajra Regent made an immediate connection with His Holiness the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa during his first visit to the United States, continuing and deepening through the Karmapa's passing into parinirvana in 1981.
When the empowerment of Thomas Rich as Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin took place in 1976, the Karmapa added calligraphy of his own to the official proclamation.
Below is a photo of the Vajra Regent with H.H. XVI Karmapa, and the Vidyadhara, with H.E. Jamgon Kontrul, one with Vidyadhara, the Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche taken during the Karmapa's first visit to the United States in 1974, and other photos of His Holiness. There is also a poem written to him by the Vajra Regent after His Holiness' passing into parinirvana, an excerpt from the 1980 letter to seminary students recounting the spirit of that first visit, a brief video clip of a Q and A with the Vajra Regent on a famous teaching given by the Karmapa, and a calligraphy by the Vajra Regent evoking an aspect of the Karmapa Lineage."Nothing Happens" Video clip from the Three-Yana Seminar Talk 3
Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin, May 25, 1986Los Angeles, California

"Protecting the Mind: Effort As the Expression of Freedom" Seminar
Three talks, Karmê Choling, Barnet, Vermont
Protecting the Mind: Effort As the Expression of Freedom Talk 1
Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin, May 25, 1984Karmê Chöling, Barnet, Vermont
How to practice meditation without struggle,
How to be, without self consciousness,
Freedom as the natural state of our being is the ground of meditation practice,
Memories of past events and expectations of future one's do not have to entrap our state of mind.
Protecting the Mind: Effort As the Expression of Freedom Talk 2
Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin, May 27, 1984Karmê Chöling, Barnet, Vermont
Effort is based on freedom to begin with, not a mechanistic or forced action,
Effort proceeds from the absence of conceptual notions about how to act,
Recognizing modes of laziness with respect to meditation practice and applying the antidotes reconnects us with the basic state of freedom.
Protecting the Mind: Effort As the Expression of Freedom Talk 3
Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin, May 28, 1984Karmê Chöling, Barnet, Vermont
Through meditation practice (effort) we first liberate ourselves from confused mind,
This is the lesser enlightenment or realization of our Buddha nature,
Greater or complete enlightenment is realizing bodhicitta, the view of seeing others' potential as Buddha and the practice of compassion through the six paramitas.
Refuge Vow Ceremony
