Welcome to the Wisdom Treasury website!

First, I would like to take this opportunity to say welcome and that we are very happy to show you the things we are doing practically and culturally. We've made this website to introduce the Wisdom Treasury to you.

The Wisdom Treasury is connected to two activities; practical and cultural. These two activities have a lot of value in human society because practical activity allows us to look after ourselves but if we only use this activity it's not really sufficient. We need cultural activity too.

Cultural activity is very important because when we start any kind of cultural activity we use our own intelligence to analyse what benefits beings or not. Then, we use our true intelligence to discover different cultural activities. Some of them are very useful for beings and some of them we aren't sure about. Anyway, for example, after the Buddhist Master, Padmasambhava, came to Tibet our culture changed. After that it became a Buddhist culture. When our culture connected with the Buddha's teachings it became more important and valuable.

The Tibetan diary for the Tibetan Iron Tiger of the 17th Rabjung (14th of February 2010 to 6th of March 2011) is now available.
The particularity of this calendar is that it includes the astrological influences for each day along with their meaning.

Days on which the conjunctions between the planets and stars produce good effects are days on which it is good to start new endeavours. Unfavourable days are days on which the five elements are not in harmony. If business dealings and social and cultural undertakings are begun on these days they run the risk of falling into difficulties in the future.

The Bodhi Tree
Letters and news from Patrul Rinpoche - Poems from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche   
Friday, 22 January 2010 10:30
Hi,
    Where I live is the centre of Europe - beautiful country where everything is magnificent.  You can imagine wonderful chocolate, bear and well-known statue of the Manneken Pis. Of course you know that it is called Belgium.
I am reading one book called The Bodhi Tree. It is nice, because it talks about Buddha's compassion which is like a tree. It is not any kind of tree, but it is medicinal and wish-fulfilling tree. Whoever comes across this tree, impartially receives a lot of benefit. It is medicinal tree which can cure all illnesses of dualistic conceptual turmoil.
The conceptual turmoil is totally self-oriented. It is always concerned about one's ego, pride, rivalry, jealousy, hatred and improper conceptual wondering. In such case our minds become partial and are related to the activities of wacky entertainments, which are endless and meaningless.

Letter to my dearest students, 27th of October 2009

All my dearest superior students,

Patrul Rinpoche Dharmacity Summer 09 Shedra 12I hope you are well and that you are doing very well especially dharma activities. I am still alive doing normal things with my electronic gadgets but they are quite impermanent. They have become quite old but still work very well. After the Shedra I went to different countries, visiting different people. Of course mainly students and mostly studied about impartial compassion. I was very happy because some students commented on impartial compassion.

It was really amazing because they understood quite deeply. They said that impartial compassion is the cause of all happiness of the temporary and ultimate and it is the pervasiveness of enlightened activity. It is the global mansion of peace, harmony and solidarity in which we can live joyfully and contentedly all together; just this. Nothing else.

Happy New Year
Letters and news from Patrul Rinpoche - Letters from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche   
Thursday, 24 December 2009 00:00

Hi, I am sending you one wish that is my heart warmth, which is concerning impartiality. It is forever lasting. 

Where we live is the most wonderful world in this space. It isn't a comparable state of happiness. Today I am offering you this wish that you may have long life happiness and success without hindrance.

Our seat is the momentary nature, which is the nature of our reality. The momentary nature is never falling to one side. Therefore may my offering wish link with the unchangeable reality. In this way truthful wishes are incontrovertible.

My dear, could you accept this wish, it comes from the bottom of my heart.
My dear, long life! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
May the coming year give you comfortable life and success.
May this New Year be the condition for the fulfilment of all your positive wishes! May they become true! many Tashi Delek.

from Patrul Rinpoche

ImageDear students!

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my regards to you, which is coming from the centre of my heart. I hope your superior activities of the dharma are going well, especially in improving your Sampa Sangpo of compassion.   And also, sure, your understanding of Authentic Dharma is increasing and also wisdom is becoming sharper. Through your development of compassion and wisdom you understand the reality of relative and the reality of ultimate, and also suchness and manyness.

Here, with me, everything is going well. A few months ago I was in Japan. We studied "The Words of My Perfect Teacher". The organization and course were so good. Weather was also very good. Afterwards I went to China and Tibet. In Tibet our projects, the Zangdok Palri Temple and the school, are going very well. I stayed there 3-4 days. Then I came back to Belgium. Now I have became very lazy, doing almost nothing, sleeping, drinking alcohol and eating, and sometimes I am going to hot spring, to many different shoe shops to find permanent shoes. But I could not find. Still I am searching. Can you find permanent shoes and fearless shoes for me ?
