I haven't heard much about Yangsi Khyentse Rinpoche in a while. where is he and what is he doing lately?

so worth hearing this insight. here is a poem by Chogyam Trungpa : czcams.com/video/fVbrZc1nnBc/video.html&ab_channel=dzogchenananda

Haha, so crestone 😂 I love the valley.

When Chogyam Rinpoche was in Boulder, CO I lived there very young at 18 years old at the beginning and grew up there after at first running away from home. I became a Sufi under Samuel Lewis's group (Sufi Sam) from San Francisco with many great teachers who would stop by and teach. Never met Sam for he died a long time before but met his close students and they would send to us many great teachers from Indian Tantrics, Tibetan Lamas, Peace Pilgrim, and host of other teachers. I would go see Chogyam talk at Naropa University and always respected him and read his books. His house was a few blocks down from ours on Mapleton Ave. Interesting!

i love Pema but sometimes when she is speaking about the many ways in which we run from our deepest fears I have this thought, that her whole beginning was to become a nun after he husband, her trusted friend and lover and children's father betrayed her deeply ... so what would be the best way to avoid EVER risking having to feel that betrayed again, emotionally, sexually, in the most intimate sense ....by a man ... well, become a nun ! .. and in this respect , does her Buddhism itself become her biggest 'escape' from the groundlessness of suffering ... ? because it was in relationship itself that she met her worst experience of losing her ground, and suffering .... spiritual practices can also be a way to avoid the feeling of groundlessness, ironically ! if she knew TRUE 'forgiveness', true healing, wouldn't she have been able to return to a relationship again rather than running into celibacy and spiritual retreat ? Its just a question really.. when she speaks of our fear of groundlessness, I wonder if behind the path and the spiritual journey, the feeling she is most avoiding, is a great loneliness ..? But I can imagine being part of a community where the men have all taken vows of celibacy would feel very safe after such a terrible experience of betrayal by a man .

I’ve lived in crestone in my childhood since two years old to about nine years old and I will never forget the beauty of Mother Nature. Especially the stars are breathtaking!! I recommend you visiting all the places that mentioned in this video but especially Shumei has changed my life. I believe that Crestone is heaven on earth!!

It's also a place of demons.

Feel called to this place

Hi, I would like very much to watch the film. Where can I watch it?

It’s pretty mind blowing the guy that believes that if many people lived in Crestone it would not be what it is. lol the self entitlement and lack of abundance in that guy is otherworldly for sure. Fake spirituality will preach scarcity mindset like him. Abundance is the key and nobody owns Crestone. Lots of cultish people believe they do and is their quiet sacred place to “enlighten”.

I love this county. Am so proud and thankful I ended up here

I would like to consider the possibilities of coming to the area to help build some of the visions to make this place even more special. How and to whom do i make contact.

It’s more appropriate to say: The First Nation as opposed to Indians or Native Americans. The mere use of American, has a connection to America Vespus, the conqueror, but these people were here before the arrivals of any conquerors!

Con todo respeto una cosa es un retiro para meditar y otro es la soledad y el aislamiento no buscado con fines espirituales. Lo digo x personas que sufren de depresión. No nacimos para vivir aislados ojo, somos seres sociales, comunitarios, por tanto los budistas tienen el deber de aclarar esto. Por otra parte admitir que renuncian a su parte animal dando la primacía al intelecto y a la represión de sus impulsos. Lo que los hace personas no violentas. Pero un budista que tiene Naturaleza sociopata puede llegar a ser muy peligroso para la humanidad porque normalizara los horrores de los sádicos, dictadores y genocidas, pidiendo su perdón y compasión quedando libres de todo castigo. Si pertenecemos al reino animal hay que considerar que el humano es potencialmente corrupto y peligroso a nivel cultural, por tanto no se deben justificar sus malas acciones. Un abrazo

🙏🙏🙏🙏

I can't stop my tears.

Wonderful and inspiring ❤

Nothing related to native American it's mostly hippies

When the mind is very still,very peaceful,everywhere is refuge,retreat.

If only we all could make " just enough" money from the petroleum industry to afford to pretend to give a crap about other people. How many Dine live there now?

You can see the infinite compassion in his face ❤

Flying out for a week-long silent meditation retreat in northern Cali tomorrow. Packing two of Pema Chodron's books to read on the plane

Wasn't lost on me.

Those water spirits remind me of the cedar knees that grow down south in the bays edge

Thanks Pema , for so many wonderful years of listening to you and your excellent way of being❤

Watching this in 2022. The 1980’s was such a positive era. Makes me sad to watch the hopefulness of the original intentions for the Baca and knowing how it has developed 40 years later. Full of greed and drugs, AirBnBs and deceit.

👍

Very Hard to believe since the Taos Pueblo and the Sky People had such terrible battles w/ the Spanish and those places aren’t that far away; especially the Taos Pueblo. What proof do they actually have? Promotional to embellish the mysticism for the clients they wish to attract to the religious centers; ya know they need to make money. I’m sure plenty of blood was shed in Alamosa; likely still is.

Jessica Kubalak aka Tedder stole my visitation rights from my 2 sons from me and keeps them in Crestone, CO. She honors no treaties. She is forever in contempt of court.

This is a dangerous drug addicts & murders paradise. Lots of criminals go on the run in Crestone for the fact it's lawless & police or Sherrif do not go there. Its policed by the Baca Grande HOA. Yes you can go there to enjoy nature but be very careful.

Maravilloso Maestro, Uno de los Maestros de mis Maestros. Gracias.

Love her.🙏❤️💥😇😘

Crestone. San Juan mountains .Baca Grant Ranch

Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon is the most silent place I have ever experienced. Next is Crestone. What a beautiful place inside and out.

Thank you for sharing the glimpse of Rinpoche

Crestone has no cop shop. It has meth labs and ruined land with ugly Marijuana grow outs taking precious water resources. It is ruled by by the real-estate nazi land group who run it like ponzi scam.. and harm people. the scenery is great ..the rich people live idylically ..you can cremate yourself in a field.. but the thugs run deep and drug addicts..and the food bank is all ways crowded. CRESTOnE IS like EVERYWHERE ELSE.. a hell REALM DUSGUISED AS PARADISE REGUGECFOR MONEY GRUBBERS. And petty controlling bullies.. It ain't nothing special.

This is beautiful idea to unite people in One Heart of all people with Mother Earth ✨💛✨ Thank you 🙏🏽👑

I have a book that talks about the ute tribe fighting off others from this area. So idk about all this

La traducción al español tiene muchas fallas, puede inducir a malas interpretaciones.

He knew he was going to be around for only a short and heard about some comments he made about it to his wife, so he put all of himself into his work in teaching people not only how to follow some dogmatic rules but to discover goodness in themselves and then, if they can, spread it around in whatever way they can.

I am afraid that by copying Trungpa Rinpoche he was talking about Sogyal Rinpoche, who, as I was told when I met him at Marpa House, was not a Rinpoche but an attendant to Khandro Tsering. It was a big surprise to me years later that he developed a giant Dharma organization as a teacher. He put out good books but what Trungpa Rinpoche did was develop personal teaching relationships with many of the students. In the short 10 years that I knew him I managed to be around him enough to receive on the spot teachings from him that pertained to some confusing situation I found myself in. When I became nervous he would teach me patience. When I showed some wisdom he would approve. Sometimes he made gentle fun of my stupidity, like when I didn't know which leg to hold as he was getting on his horse. Right now I can think of two main things he was showing: the personal picture or how to work with ourselves through the Dharma and attain some degree of realization, and an image of the world which appreciates quality, elegance, etc. all the good things in being alive. It was easier for most students to relate to the first one, because as Europeans we are such guilty and self-abnegating creatures always ready to whip ourselves. We think that this will get rid of our ego, but it is just another face of egotism. It has taken me years to understand what happened to me, but I know I learned from him something that is extremely good in my - recognition of bodhicitta, at least to some extent.
