Tibetan language is the most important language spoken in Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan. This language is significantly tied to Buddhist teaching and cultures of many Himalayan countries. When you want to get access to the primary Buddhist texts yourself, or when you want to discuss any issue on Tibetan teaching with high Tibetan lamas without interrupted by interpreter, or if you want to visit any Himalayan country for your interest, then it is the Tibetan language that makes it possible and every thing easier. To provide you with an opportunity to make yourself a Tibetan speaker, we are organizing a Tibetan language course in Amsterdam. This language course is also aimed for those Tibetan fellows and their children, who had no opportunity to learn their own language in their homeland.

Time : 11-13 and 14 - 16

Teachings with Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche
Patience is a gentle skill. Like all skills, we need to practice if we hope to be good at it. When we are offended or mistreated, our habitual response, too frequently, is to meet the negative with more negative. We lash out verbally or physically or else we hold a hurt resentment inside. Our feelings of anger are painful and give way to more hurt-remorse, guilt, confusion and anxiety. The way to counteract anger is to change our habits and develop patience. Over the weekend, Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche will help us discover, through observation and analysis of our own experience, compelling reasons why we should develop patience. Step by step we can learn how to develop it and lay the foundations of a happy life.

Introduction
By Meditation practice, one can get his reflexive mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation is recognized as a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity also outside religious traditions. Practice of meditation may have various emphasizes with different goals such as an achievement of a higher state of consciousness, greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind. Therefore, this ultimately leads the practitioner to find a sense of relaxation and peace within himself. Green Tara is a female compassionate Bodhisattva who helps us to realize the very nature of ourselves. She is also known as the "mother of liberation" and she represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. The feminine energy of Tara is necessary for both men and women to bring about a positive change in the mind and heart and become aware of the divine presence that lies within us. Therefore, Green Tara meditation practice can develop certain inner qualities and understand outer, inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness.
