Wisdom Compassion: Trí Tuệ Từ Bi

     Hello all, my name is Tâm Tịnh and I was born and raised in Southern California from parents of Việtnamese immigrants. Currently residing in the city of Los Angeles and in the past having lived in city of Palo Alto, California and the last place I lived at before moving back to California, was near the city of Boston, Massachusetts.

 

     I am a Ngakpa Yogi within the Rimé movement meaning I support a universalistic, unbounded and all-embracing of all Tibetan Buddhist lineages and schools of thought approach. My focuses are mainly as a Sakya, Karma Kagyü, Drikung Kagyü and Nyingma lineage holder, having received my first 'Wang' empowerments and oral 'Lung' transmissions and teachings from highly realized Gurus such as from His Holiness Sakya Trizin. I later recived Wang and Lung from Venerable Lama Thubten Nima who is a Drikung Kagyü lineage guru, as well as from Khenpo Sonam who is a Nyingma lineage guru and also from Lama Dawa who is a Karma Kagyü lineage guru.

 

     I started this site mainly because of painful physical sufferinings I've had to endure for over the past 15 years and recently with Thyroid cancer which also caused me to file for bankruptcy from medical treatment costs.

 

The Buddha Dharma is the only thing still keeping me alive to this day and I chose to create this website to start over fresh while I am still recovering with my health and fervently practicing the Dharma, sharing with everyone the knowledge, experience and benefits taking refuge with the three jewels (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha) brings.

 

There are so many benefits of taking refuge as sentient beings being fortunate enough to be reborn in this very human form, in this lifteime, depending on our types of sufferings and the different types of Dharma practice we take on as the historical World Honored Shakamuni Buddha himself taught over 84,000 different ways to reach enlightenment, helping us overcome all types of obstacles and suffering we endure, in one form or another whether it be mental, physical or lack of any spriritual practice.
