What’s inside the March 2012 Shambhala Sun magazine?

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST

Our March 2012 magazine is landing in subscribers' mailboxes now, and will be at newsstands everywhere starting next week. Inside you'll find fascinating looks at the emerging field of contemplative science — and what it tells us about meditation, and what that tells us about us — plus, two articles by the Dalai Lama, a short story by Charles Johnson, a profile of (and a teaching by) Mingyur Rinpoche, Leza Lowitz on finding in life's difficulties the greatest gift of all, Joan Sutherland's feature review of the books Searching for Guan Yin  and Bringing Zen Home (a detail from Liza Matthews' accompanying photo appears here), and much more.

Watch for it on newsstands next week. Or, subscribe, save half, and receive two exclusive electronic booklets, "How to Meditate" and "True Love and Real Life."

Commemorating the parinirvana of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:00 PM PST

Photo (detail) by James Gimian. Used by permission.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the passing of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche — the great Buddhist teacher who (among many other accomplishments) founded the Shambhala Sun magazine. To mark this, the January 2012 Shambhala Sun includes "Ocean of Dharma," Barry Boyce's look at the life and work of Trungpa Rinpoche, and we'll be sharing teachings from Rinpoche in the magazine all year. (Look for "A Meditation Instruction," the first of these teachings, in the next, March 2012 issue.)

Also remembering Trungpa Rinpoche are our friends at Sounds True, who are offering "When Lightning Strikes," a six-week online interactive event series about his life and teachings, led by Reggie Ray. It begins on February 15. For information about "When Lightning Strikes," click here.

Contact of a Zen Kind

With palms together Good Morning Everyone, Zen vital requires a in advance reorientation to life. When such a spin happens what was once important no longer seems so; what was once unimportant is right away significant. It is this ostensible turning of life upside down which disturbs some of us, as good as so many of those around us. Conversely, it is what makes life so smashing for those who open their eyes. Yet, it is usually a ostensible turning of things. In truth, it is just a change in where you place a mind. Two short, universal lists: What is significant? A glass of water. A splinter of a moon in a sky. Loving someone; being desired by someone. The taste of things. The feel of things. The smell of things. The sound of things. What is insignificant? Our thoughts about a above. Hurrying to get somewhere. Getting somewhere. Our social status; anothers social status. The sort of car you drive. How far-reaching a TV screen is. That you have a TV in a initial place. We competence cru...
