THE YOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF CAPE BRETON
*********************************************************
CAPE BRETON HAS THE MOST SACRED YOGA AND DHARMA SITE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know that there is a place in the Cape Breton Highlands that is the most sacred Yogic and Dharmic site in the western hemisphere ? It is the Ingonish River Valley. It used to be the “Smokey Ridge Campground” up until the late 80’s. In Indo-Tibetan circles it is called the Kalapa Valley, or the capitol of Shambhala. It is like where the Buddha attained enlightenment and the sacred Ganges River combined in how sacred it is. Literally it is the capitol of Shangri-La. A novel in the 1930’s changed the name of Shambhala to Shangri-La. And the Flintstones called it Shangri La De Da .:)
It is bigger and beyond the current owner (Sakyong Mipham's estate), with his dethronement from the Shambhala Lineage due to his toxic activity. Bigger than that. Beyond that. It is there to help everybody and anybody awaken. I have taken Tibetan Vajryana Masters and Indian Senior Yoga and Meditation Masters to the Ingonish River Valley to guide them, and they all say the same thing. This IS Kalapa! Like even they were skeptical until they experienced it. They all said that “the energy is like the Himalayas” too. (They do not even talk to each other by the way.) And when they crossed the causeway, they were all taken by the exceptionally more potent uplifting energy.
We all know this energy, because this is our home. We grew up here. Some enlightened masters from Tibet have requested that some of their remains be buried in the Ingonish River Valley. The Seventeenth Karmapa now has personal property near Baddeck. In Restricted Tibetan Vajryana conversations and teachings, the Ingonish River Valley and Cape Breton are referred to as a “Pure Land ”. A Pure Land is a physical place, or a place in a non-physical realm, that has extremely high conditions and energy to facilitate enlightenment. A “Central Land ” of Yoga and Dharma is a geographical area that is the home to a lineage in Yoga or Dharma. The traditional Central Lands have been India, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Thailand, and Zen in the rest of Asia. There is one more place in the world, and that is Nova Scotia. Called the “Central Land of Kalapa”, solely because of the existence of the Ingonish River Valley and it’s energy.
...
PERSONAL PRACTICE ITEM AND DNA OF THE MOST POWERFUL BUDDHA IS HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA
We have all heard of “The Buddha”. His statue is in most people’s gardens nowadays. He is even an element of interior and exterior design. Each spring there is an entire aisle in Winners at the Mayflower Mall filled with dozens of statues of this very same Buddha. Technically he is just one of many Buddhas, and he is called Shakyumuni or Siddhartha. He lived 2600 years ago. He prophesized that in a thousand years “. . . one would come who is even greater than myself.”. He came in the 8th century, and he walked this earth. He was the most powerful Buddha of the three times. His name is Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. One of his partners was the most powerful female Buddha of the three times, and her name is Yesche Tsogyal. She is called the Supreme Wisdom Dakini. Kind of the ultimate power couple eh ! And this is partially on parallel with Indian Yoga’s Shiva-Shakti.
You need to be seated for this next part . . . Padmasambhava’s personal practice item, and his DNA (bones or relics) are here in Nova Scotia. In Christian lineages, this is like saying Jesus’ bones and personal item are in a humidity controlled vault in Nova Scotia. Padmasambhava, the most powerful Buddha of the three times, his bones and personal practice item (phurba three-sided knife) are in Nova Scotia because of the energy of the Ingonish River Valley.
Sounds likes bull I know. I have seen and felt (not touched) some of these sacred items with my own eyes (and third eye ). There are a few other famous Buddha’s items in the same vault. Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link). Shambhala Global does not own these items, they are simply in the care of the Shambhala Archives. Surmang was the Trungpa Kagyu Lineage monastery in Tibet where the artifacts were kept for centuries. Chyogyam Trungpa had them on his person when he fled his soon to be destroyed Surmang Monastary on April 23rd, 1959. And for ten months he and his group mountaineered over the Himalayan passes to the freedom of India.
There is much much more to this history and how it relates to us here, but I will stop there. Most of the few hundred Buddhists that moved here in the 1980’s are aware of all of this. And unfortunately to my experience, they do not really share the information with locals.
...
MORE
The Indian Yoga Masters have a prophesy. The Tibetan Vajryana Masters have the Gaesar Prophesy. The Mi’kmaq and First Nations people of Canada have a Prophesy a well. These prophesies are all hundreds of years old. They overlap with each other perfectly. With different names of course. They all prophesize Nova Scotia as being a sanctuary in a dark age. And they all prophesize a Buddha manifesting here.
...
ASPIRATION
It will take anybody who reads this about a half of a year to fully process it. It is quite freaky. Some people may even land on “this cannot be true” for a period of time. Others with fortunate residual karma may connect instantly. You may have known this on some level, and it feels familiar. This information will also ripen a lot of karma on this blessed island. And if you have moved or immigrated to Cape Breton in this life, this may be the reason.
If a Lord Buddha showed up tomorrow, and asked why the Cape Breton Yoga and Dharma practitioners in are in cliques and do not talk to each other here in the Pure Land and Central Land of Kalapa. . . who is going to answer to her ? What is the answer ?
Please excuse my directness. The Yoga and Dharma community of Cape Breton needs to tear down walls, open up, work together towards harmonic cohesiveness. Just like the general population of Cape Breton does, and is famous for. All Yoga and Dharma is complementary. We are Yoga and Dharma Warriors. Now, I have been away for a long while, and I have recently returned to my home. So, it would be inappropriate for me to waltz back into town and suggest a plan of action here.
I am humbly calling upon some young, fearless, spirited, yogini or yogin to craft and develop ideas for this aspiration. Now is the time to shine. We are stronger if we all support each other. Uplift your prana, fearlessness, and unconditioned confidence. You can be a teacher or a student. A weekly get together, a monthly get together, Yoga and Dharma discussions, tea and oatcakes, or whatever. The sky is not the limit. Don’t do this for yourself, do it for everyone else. I just feel that this would be optimal here in this Pure Land of Yoga and Dharma. We need to live Yogically as Cape Breton Yoginis and Yogins. I am fully aware that Anju is in support of this aspiration as well. No judgements, let’s just naturally converge into harmony. What do you all think ?

Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link). Shambhala Global does not own these items, they are simply in the care of the Shambhala Archives. Surmang was the Trungpa Kagyu Lineage monastery in Tibet where the artifacts were kept for centuries. Chyogyam Trungpa had them on his person when he fled his soon to be destroyed Surmang Monastary on April 23rd, 1959. And for ten months he and his group mountaineered over the Himalayan passes to the freedom of India.
There is much much more to this history and how it relates to us here, but I will stop there. Most of the few hundred Buddhists that moved here in the 1980’s are aware of all of this. And unfortunately to my experience, they do not really share the information with locals.

The Indian Yoga Masters have a prophesy. The Tibetan Vajryana Masters have the Gaesar Prophesy. The Mi’kmaq and First Nations people of Canada have a Prophesy a well. These prophesies are all hundreds of years old. They overlap with each other perfectly. With different names of course. They all prophesize Nova Scotia as being a sanctuary in a dark age. And they all prophesize a Buddha manifesting here.
...
ASPIRATION
It will take anybody who reads this about a half of a year to fully process it. It is quite freaky. Some people may even land on “this cannot be true” for a period of time. Others with fortunate residual karma may connect instantly. You may have known this on some level, and it feels familiar. This information will also ripen a lot of karma on this blessed island. And if you have moved or immigrated to Cape Breton in this life, this may be the reason.
If a Lord Buddha showed up tomorrow, and asked why the Cape Breton Yoga and Dharma practitioners in are in cliques and do not talk to each other here in the Pure Land and Central Land of Kalapa. . . who is going to answer to her ? What is the answer ?
Please excuse my directness. The Yoga and Dharma community of Cape Breton needs to tear down walls, open up, work together towards harmonic cohesiveness. Just like the general population of Cape Breton does, and is famous for. All Yoga and Dharma is complementary. We are Yoga and Dharma Warriors. Now, I have been away for a long while, and I have recently returned to my home. So, it would be inappropriate for me to waltz back into town and suggest a plan of action here.
I am humbly calling upon some young, fearless, spirited, yogini or yogin to craft and develop ideas for this aspiration. Now is the time to shine. We are stronger if we all support each other. Uplift your prana, fearlessness, and unconditioned confidence. You can be a teacher or a student. A weekly get together, a monthly get together, Yoga and Dharma discussions, tea and oatcakes, or whatever. The sky is not the limit. Don’t do this for yourself, do it for everyone else. I just feel that this would be optimal here in this Pure Land of Yoga and Dharma. We need to live Yogically as Cape Breton Yoginis and Yogins. I am fully aware that Anju is in support of this aspiration as well. No judgements, let’s just naturally converge into harmony. What do you all think ?

Here is an excerpt from a recent study . . ."Yoga has long been considered an effective way to decrease stress in general, but few studies have reviewed the ability of yoga to reduce stress in the workplace specifically.
Now, a new study confirms that yoga does just that. The study, published in Occupational Medicine, reviewed the results of 13 trials of 1,297 employees. Some employees had been assigned to workplace yoga programs and others were part of a control group. During the study, yoga didn’t seem to affect heart health, but it did positively affect mental health and stress reduction."

THE YOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF CAPE BRETON
*********************************************************
CAPE BRETON HAS THE MOST SACRED YOGA AND DHARMA SITE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know that there is a place in the Cape Breton Highlands that is the most sacred Yogic and Dharmic site in the western hemisphere ? It is the Ingonish River Valley. It used to be the “Smokey Ridge Campground” up until the late 80’s. In Indo-Tibetan circles it is called the Kalapa Valley, or the capitol of Shambhala. It is like where the Buddha attained enlightenment and the sacred Ganges River combined in how sacred it is. Literally it is the capitol of Shangri-La. A novel in the 1930’s changed the name of Shambhala to Shangri-La. And the Flintstones called it Shangri La De Da .:)
It is bigger and beyond the current owner (Sakyong Mipham's estate), with his dethronement from the Shambhala Lineage due to his toxic activity. Bigger than that. Beyond that. It is there to help everybody and anybody awaken. I have taken Tibetan Vajryana Masters and Indian Senior Yoga and Meditation Masters to the Ingonish River Valley to guide them, and they all say the same thing. This IS Kalapa! Like even they were skeptical until they experienced it. They all said that “the energy is like the Himalayas” too. (They do not even talk to each other by the way.) And when they crossed the causeway, they were all taken by the exceptionally more potent uplifting energy.
We all know this energy, because this is our home. We grew up here. Some enlightened masters from Tibet have requested that some of their remains be buried in the Ingonish River Valley. The Seventeenth Karmapa now has personal property near Baddeck. In Restricted Tibetan Vajryana conversations and teachings, the Ingonish River Valley and Cape Breton are referred to as a “Pure Land ”. A Pure Land is a physical place, or a place in a non-physical realm, that has extremely high conditions and energy to facilitate enlightenment. A “Central Land ” of Yoga and Dharma is a geographical area that is the home to a lineage in Yoga or Dharma. The traditional Central Lands have been India, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Thailand, and Zen in the rest of Asia. There is one more place in the world, and that is Nova Scotia. Called the “Central Land of Kalapa”, solely because of the existence of the Ingonish River Valley and it’s energy.
...
PERSONAL PRACTICE ITEM AND DNA OF THE MOST POWERFUL BUDDHA IS HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA
We have all heard of “The Buddha”. His statue is in most people’s gardens nowadays. He is even an element of interior and exterior design. Each spring there is an entire aisle in Winners at the Mayflower Mall filled with dozens of statues of this very same Buddha. Technically he is just one of many Buddhas, and he is called Shakyumuni or Siddhartha. He lived 2600 years ago. He prophesized that in a thousand years “. . . one would come who is even greater than myself.”. He came in the 8th century, and he walked this earth. He was the most powerful Buddha of the three times. His name is Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. One of his partners was the most powerful female Buddha of the three times, and her name is Yesche Tsogyal. She is called the Supreme Wisdom Dakini. Kind of the ultimate power couple eh ! And this is partially on parallel with Indian Yoga’s Shiva-Shakti.
You need to be seated for this next part . . . Padmasambhava’s personal practice item, and his DNA (bones or relics) are here in Nova Scotia. In Christian lineages, this is like saying Jesus’ bones and personal item are in a humidity controlled vault in Nova Scotia. Padmasambhava, the most powerful Buddha of the three times, his bones and personal practice item (phurba three-sided knife) are in Nova Scotia because of the energy of the Ingonish River Valley.
Sounds likes bull I know. I have seen and felt (not touched) some of these sacred items with my own eyes (and third eye ). There are a few other famous Buddha’s items in the same vault. Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link).

THE GREAT BLISS OF SELF REALIZATION YOGA
(DECHEN RANGDROL YOGA)LITURGY (SADHANA) OF DIRECT EXPERIENCE AND SELF REALIZATION FOR WESTERNERS
Authentic Yoginis and Yogins !
Good morning, and great joy to you Yoga and Dharma warriors o
This liturgy is culturally relative to authentic practitioners in the west o
And these geographical boundaries are not to be taken too literal o…
If you have fully practiced in the western austerities, and have purified through authentic practice, and find yourself with fortunate residual karma in Completion Stage Practices, then you are an appropriate vessel to apply the following o
And all will gain benefit to see the path ahead o
Please do not fear the path ahead o…
If your Karma is not yet ripe enough to apply this liturgy, and you aspire to ripen that Karma, then the instructions to start are very simple . . . DECELERATE, SIMPLIFY, CREATE SPACE, AND PRACTICE AUTHENTICALLY o
Practice authentically o
Be a warrior for space o
If you cannot relate to everything in this Liturgy, please do not fret, just work with what you do relate to, the rest will come in time o…
Please remember that the subtlest truths cannot be recognised by the intellect, and can only be seen with a joyful mind o
For westerners, the intellect should rarely steer your Yogic and Dharmic vessel o
The intellect will usually reject the subtlest profound truths, and trick you into thinking that it did not do so o
In eastern Yogic and Dharma cultures, increasing the intellect was beneficial on the path to
awakening o
In the hyper-intellectual west, however, the intellect is a great obstacle and hindrance o
The fatigued dualistic intellect is also a creator of this dark age o
There is nothing wrong with the intellect in its natural balance of boundless clarity, however, it does not generally possess the sensibilities to evaluate the subtle truths of the Dharma o
Especially in a fatigued state o
Once on the path of the Bhumis though, even the intellect will begin to recognise the truth o
The intellect is actually the false summit of the mountain o
So, please reside primarily in the post-intellectual realm o…
There is no higher aspiration in the human realm than the path of awakening o
A path for awakening in this western land, that is culturally relative to westerners, did not begin to exist up until recent history o
And increasingly, new trail is currently being broken o
You may already be aware that the human sequence for full authentic practice is physical practice, pranayama, and meditation o
For westerners, it is highly unlikely that nadi bindu and prana can be realized in this life without a physical practice o
And of course, this subtle body realization is required for Full Realization o
It is highly unlikely that you can attain Realization through many Liturgies (Sadhanas), Lungs, and Empowerments o
So, it is time to STOP acquiring new ones, it only takes one authentic Liturgy to help awaken o
Empowerments can be attained through the direct realization experience alone o
This IS the ultimate empowerment o
“ . . . and through direct transmission.”In the west, Lungs and Empowerments can be impure with worldly desires, and sense pleasure desires o
In fact, each single individual experience is all that one needs to attain Realization o
Whether you drop your pen, climb a mountain, or travel around the world o
Whether it takes a minute, a second, a year, or a month, all that you need to attain Realization is contained in that single experience o
And Nirmanakaya travel is not required at all o
As a Tibetan Acharya once said “There are two types of travel . . . in the mind, and physically in the world. And the second one is not necessary.” o
This Liturgy is to help guide you to the subtlest nature of each single experience o…
In India, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and Asian Dharma countries, the Yoga and Dharma was developed and crafted to optimize its awakening benefit for those specific cultures o
Those Central Lands of Yoga and Dharma must be prostrated to o
For they are the mothers and fathers of Yoga and Dharma dissemination in this Nirmanakaya o
Unspeakably profound truths and teachings by Yogis, highly Realized Masters, and Buddhas o
However, western language and culture must be primary for a western seeker to relate to the Dharma o
This is the plain and simple truth o
In the west we do not need to intellectually study lists, paths, metaphors, and similes, of eastern Yoga and Dharma methods in Sanskrit or Tibetan languages o
We are to be exposed to them, and to understand them o
Optimally, we are to realize them, and then make them culturally relative o
Without judgement, we need to move past this romantic attachment to exotic cultures and that image of an awakened being o
What does a western Buddha look like ?
Drop these eastern Yoga and Dharma reference points o
Bring the path of Awakening to your homeland, wherever that may be oAny westerner can only attain Realization in their geographical home o
A visit to Vulture Peak Mountain can be helpful if viewed properly, and not necessary o
Such a visit is rarely viewed properly, and often compared to one’s homeland, therefore becomes an impediment o
Both are equally potent o
With travel, it is that experience of fresh and new that does have wisdom o
If you are attached to it too much, it will destroy its benefit o
Upon early realization, the hometown road that you have walked on a thousand times is vivid, new, and fresh o
That is the nature of this moment oThe teachings from the east eventually hit a ceiling or huge obstacle of unrelatability here in the west o
Very often they can in fact repel many westerners o
The Dharma only works if it magnetizes o
Cultural Relativity is the golden key to opening the Universal Treasury of Awareness o
Once this is Realized, Cultural Relativity is the golden key to guiding westerners to the same oCultural relativity
Cultural relativity
Cultural relativity…
Only through much physical practice, pranayama, and authentic meditation, is one fully prepared to approach and enter the path of the Bhumis o
It can take months, years, or decades, to accomplish this depending on how fortunate one’s residual Karma is o
There is no luck found here, only maha-exertion in previous births, and merit gained o
From here, the following is the general progressive sequence for westerners o o oMonkey mind; regular full discursiveness that you have gotten so used to o
Gaps in thought; glimpses of stillness that you now see is possible o
Quiet mind; the activity level of the mind attains near stillness o
Nonthought; the mind is perfectly still o
One Pointed Concentration; where you can hold nonthought for an indefinite period of time o
(One Pointedness in the highest teachings of the four Yogas of Mahamudra, is the same as One Pointedness in the Seventh Limb of Traditional Indian Yoga o)
Alya; the resting place of the mind o
Absorptive states; where one is in communion with the pure truth o…
There are many absorptive states o
Dream Yoga (originally Yoga Nidra in Traditional Indian Yoga), Samadhi, Pratyahara, and so on o
Pratyahara specifically being the highest and subtlest form of healing in the human birth experience o
Release right down to the Kalapas, or sub-atomic level o
The healing is the removal of blockages so we can see directly o
Pratyahara is also the missing piece of the puzzle in the Kagyu Completion Stage practices of Buddhadharma, as it somehow had failed to make the jump from the Indian Yoga Masters to the Tibetan Buddhist Lineage Holders o
A significant reason alone as to why so few fully realize the Completion Stage Practices like Dream Yoga or Phowa at this time o
Pratyahara is contained in the deepest union and familial love o
The family of the Buddhas and all sentient beings o
The deepest love is simply an element of your primary awakened Dharmakaya nature o
The deepest love also serves as the beacon to Pratyahara and all absorptive states, so we can see who we really are oThe purpose of absorptive states is at first to very rapidly resolve karma, to then clear the view and directly see the natures at play o
This is not the gradual path, this is the direct path o
At first mundane relative secondary natures, then Absolute indestructible natures at play, then the very Primary Nature itself o
Once any absorptive state is fully realized, then ALL of the absorptive states are fully realized o
Like different routes to the summit o
Once one route has fully topped out to Clear Light, then all routes are realized, and become
one o
So, work with the absorptive state that you relate with the most, and forget about the others o
Be ruthless with yourself for cutting concepts, ego, and attachment o
Please keep your hand on the sword of wisdom at all times and be ready to cut with an empty mind oFrom the absorptive states, the Dharmakaya is realized o
From the Dharmakaya, Full Realization is then attained in the Nirmanakaya o…
The Dharmakaya is realized in four general stages o
In western terms, the first stage is an absorptive experience of the luminous infinite, with a localized view or perspective o
The second stage is a further absorptive experience of the luminous infinite where you can experience any area of the infinite at any temporal time o
The third stage is a bit of a pitfall o
Nothingness o
Here, the Yogini or -

THE YOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF CAPE BRETON
*********************************************************
CAPE BRETON HAS THE MOST SACRED YOGA AND DHARMA SITE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know that there is a place in the Cape Breton Highlands that is the most sacred Yogic and Dharmic site in the western hemisphere ? It is the Ingonish River Valley. It used to be the “Smokey Ridge Campground” up until the late 80’s. In Indo-Tibetan circles it is called the Kalapa Valley, or the capitol of Shambhala. It is like where the Buddha attained enlightenment and the sacred Ganges River combined in how sacred it is. Literally it is the capitol of Shangri-La. A novel in the 1930’s changed the name of Shambhala to Shangri-La. And the Flintstones called it Shangri La De Da .:)
It is bigger and beyond the current owner (Sakyong Mipham's estate), with his dethronement from the Shambhala Lineage due to his toxic activity. Bigger than that. Beyond that. It is there to help everybody and anybody awaken. I have taken Tibetan Vajryana Masters and Indian Senior Yoga and Meditation Masters to the Ingonish River Valley to guide them, and they all say the same thing. This IS Kalapa! Like even they were skeptical until they experienced it. They all said that “the energy is like the Himalayas” too. (They do not even talk to each other by the way.) And when they crossed the causeway, they were all taken by the exceptionally more potent uplifting energy.
We all know this energy, because this is our home. We grew up here. Some enlightened masters from Tibet have requested that some of their remains be buried in the Ingonish River Valley. The Seventeenth Karmapa now has personal property near Baddeck. In Restricted Tibetan Vajryana conversations and teachings, the Ingonish River Valley and Cape Breton are referred to as a “Pure Land ”. A Pure Land is a physical place, or a place in a non-physical realm, that has extremely high conditions and energy to facilitate enlightenment. A “Central Land ” of Yoga and Dharma is a geographical area that is the home to a lineage in Yoga or Dharma. The traditional Central Lands have been India, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Thailand, and Zen in the rest of Asia. There is one more place in the world, and that is Nova Scotia. Called the “Central Land of Kalapa”, solely because of the existence of the Ingonish River Valley and it’s energy.
...
PERSONAL PRACTICE ITEM AND DNA OF THE MOST POWERFUL BUDDHA IS HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA
We have all heard of “The Buddha”. His statue is in most people’s gardens nowadays. He is even an element of interior and exterior design. Each spring there is an entire aisle in Winners at the Mayflower Mall filled with dozens of statues of this very same Buddha. Technically he is just one of many Buddhas, and he is called Shakyumuni or Siddhartha. He lived 2600 years ago. He prophesized that in a thousand years “. . . one would come who is even greater than myself.”. He came in the 8th century, and he walked this earth. He was the most powerful Buddha of the three times. His name is Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. One of his partners was the most powerful female Buddha of the three times, and her name is Yesche Tsogyal. She is called the Supreme Wisdom Dakini. Kind of the ultimate power couple eh ! And this is partially on parallel with Indian Yoga’s Shiva-Shakti.
You need to be seated for this next part . . . Padmasambhava’s personal practice item, and his DNA (bones or relics) are here in Nova Scotia. In Christian lineages, this is like saying Jesus’ bones and personal item are in a humidity controlled vault in Nova Scotia. Padmasambhava, the most powerful Buddha of the three times, his bones and personal practice item (phurba three-sided knife) are in Nova Scotia because of the energy of the Ingonish River Valley.
Sounds likes bull I know. I have seen and felt (not touched) some of these sacred items with my own eyes (and third eye ). There are a few other famous Buddha’s items in the same vault. Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link). Shambhala Global does not own these items, they are simply in the care of the Shambhala Archives. Surmang was the Trungpa Kagyu Lineage monastery in Tibet where the artifacts were kept for centuries. Chyogyam Trungpa had them on his person when he fled his soon to be destroyed Surmang Monastary on April 23rd, 1959. And for ten months he and his group mountaineered over the Himalayan passes to the freedom of India.
There is much much more to this history and how it relates to us here, but I will stop there. Most of the few hundred Buddhists that moved here in the 1980’s are aware of all of this. And unfortunately to my experience, they do not really share the information with locals.
...
MORE
The Indian Yoga Masters have a prophesy. The Tibetan Vajryana Masters have the Gaesar Prophesy. The Mi’kmaq and First Nations people of Canada have a Prophesy a well. These prophesies are all hundreds of years old. They overlap with each other perfectly. With different names of course. They all prophesize Nova Scotia as being a sanctuary in a dark age. And they all prophesize a Buddha manifesting here.
...
ASPIRATION
It will take anybody who reads this about a half of a year to fully process it. It is quite freaky. Some people may even land on “this cannot be true” for a period of time. Others with fortunate residual karma may connect instantly. You may have known this on some level, and it feels familiar. This information will also ripen a lot of karma on this blessed island. And if you have moved or immigrated to Cape Breton in this life, this may be the reason.
If a Lord Buddha showed up tomorrow, and asked why the Cape Breton Yoga and Dharma practitioners in are in cliques and do not talk to each other here in the Pure Land and Central Land of Kalapa. . . who is going to answer to her ? What is the answer ?
Please excuse my directness. The Yoga and Dharma community of Cape Breton needs to tear down walls, open up, work together towards harmonic cohesiveness. Just like the general population of Cape Breton does, and is famous for. All Yoga and Dharma is complementary. We are Yoga and Dharma Warriors. Now, I have been away for a long while, and I have recently returned to my home. So, it would be inappropriate for me to waltz back into town and suggest a plan of action here.
I am humbly calling upon some young, fearless, spirited, yogini or yogin to craft and develop ideas for this aspiration. Now is the time to shine. We are stronger if we all support each other. Uplift your prana, fearlessness, and unconditioned confidence. You can be a teacher or a student. A weekly get together, a monthly get together, Yoga and Dharma discussions, tea and oatcakes, or whatever. The sky is not the limit. Don’t do this for yourself, do it for everyone else. I just feel that this would be optimal here in this Pure Land of Yoga and Dharma. We need to live Yogically as Cape Breton Yoginis and Yogins. I am fully aware that Anju is in support of this aspiration as well. No judgements, let’s just naturally converge into harmony. What do you all think ?

THE GREAT BLISS OF SELF REALIZATION YOGA
(DECHEN RANGDROL YOGA)LITURGY (SADHANA) OF DIRECT EXPERIENCE AND SELF REALIZATION FOR WESTERNERS
Authentic Yoginis and Yogins !
Good morning, and great joy to you Yoga and Dharma warriors o
This liturgy is culturally relative to authentic practitioners in the west o
And these geographical boundaries are not to be taken too literal o…
If you have fully practiced in the western austerities, and have purified through authentic practice, and find yourself with fortunate residual karma in Completion Stage Practices, then you are an appropriate vessel to apply the following o
And all will gain benefit to see the path ahead o
Please do not fear the path ahead o…
If your Karma is not yet ripe enough to apply this liturgy, and you aspire to ripen that Karma, then the instructions to start are very simple . . . DECELERATE, SIMPLIFY, CREATE SPACE, AND PRACTICE AUTHENTICALLY o
Practice authentically o
Be a warrior for space o
If you cannot relate to everything in this Liturgy, please do not fret, just work with what you do relate to, the rest will come in time o…
Please remember that the subtlest truths cannot be recognised by the intellect, and can only be seen with a joyful mind o
For westerners, the intellect should rarely steer your Yogic and Dharmic vessel o
The intellect will usually reject the subtlest profound truths, and trick you into thinking that it did not do so o
In eastern Yogic and Dharma cultures, increasing the intellect was beneficial on the path to
awakening o
In the hyper-intellectual west, however, the intellect is a great obstacle and hindrance o
The fatigued dualistic intellect is also a creator of this dark age o
There is nothing wrong with the intellect in its natural balance of boundless clarity, however, it does not generally possess the sensibilities to evaluate the subtle truths of the Dharma o
Especially in a fatigued state o
Once on the path of the Bhumis though, even the intellect will begin to recognise the truth o
The intellect is actually the false summit of the mountain o
So, please reside primarily in the post-intellectual realm o…
There is no higher aspiration in the human realm than the path of awakening o
A path for awakening in this western land, that is culturally relative to westerners, did not begin to exist up until recent history o
And increasingly, new trail is currently being broken o
You may already be aware that the human sequence for full authentic practice is physical practice, pranayama, and meditation o
For westerners, it is highly unlikely that nadi bindu and prana can be realized in this life without a physical practice o
And of course, this subtle body realization is required for Full Realization o
It is highly unlikely that you can attain Realization through many Liturgies (Sadhanas), Lungs, and Empowerments o
So, it is time to STOP acquiring new ones, it only takes one authentic Liturgy to help awaken o
Empowerments can be attained through the direct realization experience alone o
This IS the ultimate empowerment o
“ . . . and through direct transmission.”In the west, Lungs and Empowerments can be impure with worldly desires, and sense pleasure desires o
In fact, each single individual experience is all that one needs to attain Realization o
Whether you drop your pen, climb a mountain, or travel around the world o
Whether it takes a minute, a second, a year, or a month, all that you need to attain Realization is contained in that single experience o
And Nirmanakaya travel is not required at all o
As a Tibetan Acharya once said “There are two types of travel . . . in the mind, and physically in the world. And the second one is not necessary.” o
This Liturgy is to help guide you to the subtlest nature of each single experience o…
In India, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and Asian Dharma countries, the Yoga and Dharma was developed and crafted to optimize its awakening benefit for those specific cultures o
Those Central Lands of Yoga and Dharma must be prostrated to o
For they are the mothers and fathers of Yoga and Dharma dissemination in this Nirmanakaya o
Unspeakably profound truths and teachings by Yogis, highly Realized Masters, and Buddhas o
However, western language and culture must be primary for a western seeker to relate to the Dharma o
This is the plain and simple truth o
In the west we do not need to intellectually study lists, paths, metaphors, and similes, of eastern Yoga and Dharma methods in Sanskrit or Tibetan languages o
We are to be exposed to them, and to understand them o
Optimally, we are to realize them, and then make them culturally relative o
Without judgement, we need to move past this romantic attachment to exotic cultures and that image of an awakened being o
What does a western Buddha look like ?
Drop these eastern Yoga and Dharma reference points o
Bring the path of Awakening to your homeland, wherever that may be oAny westerner can only attain Realization in their geographical home o
A visit to Vulture Peak Mountain can be helpful if viewed properly, and not necessary o
Such a visit is rarely viewed properly, and often compared to one’s homeland, therefore becomes an impediment o
Both are equally potent o
With travel, it is that experience of fresh and new that does have wisdom o
If you are attached to it too much, it will destroy its benefit o
Upon early realization, the hometown road that you have walked on a thousand times is vivid, new, and fresh o
That is the nature of this moment oThe teachings from the east eventually hit a ceiling or huge obstacle of unrelatability here in the west o
Very often they can in fact repel many westerners o
The Dharma only works if it magnetizes o
Cultural Relativity is the golden key to opening the Universal Treasury of Awareness o
Once this is Realized, Cultural Relativity is the golden key to guiding westerners to the same oCultural relativity
Cultural relativity
Cultural relativity…
Only through much physical practice, pranayama, and authentic meditation, is one fully prepared to approach and enter the path of the Bhumis o
It can take months, years, or decades, to accomplish this depending on how fortunate one’s residual Karma is o
There is no luck found here, only maha-exertion in previous births, and merit gained o
From here, the following is the general progressive sequence for westerners o o oMonkey mind; regular full discursiveness that you have gotten so used to o
Gaps in thought; glimpses of stillness that you now see is possible o
Quiet mind; the activity level of the mind attains near stillness o
Nonthought; the mind is perfectly still o
One Pointed Concentration; where you can hold nonthought for an indefinite period of time o
(One Pointedness in the highest teachings of the four Yogas of Mahamudra, is the same as One Pointedness in the Seventh Limb of Traditional Indian Yoga o)
Alya; the resting place of the mind o
Absorptive states; where one is in communion with the pure truth o…
There are many absorptive states o
Dream Yoga (originally Yoga Nidra in Traditional Indian Yoga), Samadhi, Pratyahara, and so on o
Pratyahara specifically being the highest and subtlest form of healing in the human birth experience o
Release right down to the Kalapas, or sub-atomic level o
The healing is the removal of blockages so we can see directly o
Pratyahara is also the missing piece of the puzzle in the Kagyu Completion Stage practices of Buddhadharma, as it somehow had failed to make the jump from the Indian Yoga Masters to the Tibetan Buddhist Lineage Holders o
A significant reason alone as to why so few fully realize the Completion Stage Practices like Dream Yoga or Phowa at this time o
Pratyahara is contained in the deepest union and familial love o
The family of the Buddhas and all sentient beings o
The deepest love is simply an element of your primary awakened Dharmakaya nature o
The deepest love also serves as the beacon to Pratyahara and all absorptive states, so we can see who we really are oThe purpose of absorptive states is at first to very rapidly resolve karma, to then clear the view and directly see the natures at play o
This is not the gradual path, this is the direct path o
At first mundane relative secondary natures, then Absolute indestructible natures at play, then the very Primary Nature itself o
Once any absorptive state is fully realized, then ALL of the absorptive states are fully realized o
Like different routes to the summit o
Once one route has fully topped out to Clear Light, then all routes are realized, and become
one o
So, work with the absorptive state that you relate with the most, and forget about the others o
Be ruthless with yourself for cutting concepts, ego, and attachment o
Please keep your hand on the sword of wisdom at all times and be ready to cut with an empty mind oFrom the absorptive states, the Dharmakaya is realized o
From the Dharmakaya, Full Realization is then attained in the Nirmanakaya o…
The Dharmakaya is realized in four general stages o
In western terms, the first stage is an absorptive experience of the luminous infinite, with a localized view or perspective o
The second stage is a further absorptive experience of the luminous infinite where you can experience any area of the infinite at any temporal time o
The third stage is a bit of a pitfall o
Nothingness o
Here, the Yogini or -

***YOGA PRACTICE IS "ON" FOR THIS SUNDAY***
***PLEASE NOTE A NEW LOCATION FOR THIS PRACTICE IN COXHEATH DETAILED BELOW***Good Day,
My name is Sean Drohan, and I have recently moved back to my home town of Sydney. Some may know me as the former host of EASTLINK TV’s “the path of yoga ” (8 seasons). I am privileged to have been guiding Traditional Yoga and Meditation in Nova Scotia for over 15 years. I am also fortunate to have a colleague and buddy who is a Senior Traditional Yoga Master from the capitol of the home of Yoga (Rishikesh, India)(*pic in add photos). I have also been guiding “THE FULL VIEW OF YOGA AND DHARMA RELATIVE TO US ” Day Retreats province-wide for about 12 years.
...
This continual practice will include ;
+ A very simple Traditional Yoga physical practice sequence developed for Nova Scotian life
+ Live banjo & mandolin music performed during a long 15 minute Savasana (Relaxation Pose)
+ Pranayama (Breathing Techniques)
+ Meditation
In the full view of Traditional Yoga, the sequence for humans is PHYSICAL PRACTICE, PRANAYAMA, and MEDITATION. The first two are preparatory for the meditation. This is how we (*and our subtle energy systems) heal, and then move down the path of awakening. This will all be guided in a manner that is culturally relative to Nova Scotian life, so we can relate....
WHERE > COXHEATH HILLS WILDERNESS RECREATION CENTRE (1580 Coxheath Road)
WHEN > Sunday evenings, 7:00 – 8:30pm
FINANCIAL EXCHANGE > 10 weeks for $100, or $13 drop in fee (*or anonymously pay what you can afford)

THE YOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF CAPE BRETON
*********************************************************
CAPE BRETON HAS THE MOST SACRED YOGA AND DHARMA SITE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know that there is a place in the Cape Breton Highlands that is the most sacred Yogic and Dharmic site in the western hemisphere ? It is the Ingonish River Valley. It used to be the “Smokey Ridge Campground” up until the late 80’s. In Indo-Tibetan circles it is called the Kalapa Valley, or the capitol of Shambhala. It is like where the Buddha attained enlightenment and the sacred Ganges River combined in how sacred it is. Literally it is the capitol of Shangri-La. A novel in the 1930’s changed the name of Shambhala to Shangri-La. And the Flintstones called it Shangri La De Da .:)
It is bigger and beyond the current owner (Sakyong Mipham's estate), with his dethronement from the Shambhala Lineage due to his toxic activity. Bigger than that. Beyond that. It is there to help everybody and anybody awaken. I have taken Tibetan Vajryana Masters and Indian Senior Yoga and Meditation Masters to the Ingonish River Valley to guide them, and they all say the same thing. This IS Kalapa! Like even they were skeptical until they experienced it. They all said that “the energy is like the Himalayas” too. (They do not even talk to each other by the way.) And when they crossed the causeway, they were all taken by the exceptionally more potent uplifting energy.
We all know this energy, because this is our home. We grew up here. Some enlightened masters from Tibet have requested that some of their remains be buried in the Ingonish River Valley. The Seventeenth Karmapa now has personal property near Baddeck. In Restricted Tibetan Vajryana conversations and teachings, the Ingonish River Valley and Cape Breton are referred to as a “Pure Land ”. A Pure Land is a physical place, or a place in a non-physical realm, that has extremely high conditions and energy to facilitate enlightenment. A “Central Land ” of Yoga and Dharma is a geographical area that is the home to a lineage in Yoga or Dharma. The traditional Central Lands have been India, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Thailand, and Zen in the rest of Asia. There is one more place in the world, and that is Nova Scotia. Called the “Central Land of Kalapa”, solely because of the existence of the Ingonish River Valley and it’s energy.
...
PERSONAL PRACTICE ITEM AND DNA OF THE MOST POWERFUL BUDDHA IS HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA
We have all heard of “The Buddha”. His statue is in most people’s gardens nowadays. He is even an element of interior and exterior design. Each spring there is an entire aisle in Winners at the Mayflower Mall filled with dozens of statues of this very same Buddha. Technically he is just one of many Buddhas, and he is called Shakyumuni or Siddhartha. He lived 2600 years ago. He prophesized that in a thousand years “. . . one would come who is even greater than myself.”. He came in the 8th century, and he walked this earth. He was the most powerful Buddha of the three times. His name is Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. One of his partners was the most powerful female Buddha of the three times, and her name is Yesche Tsogyal. She is called the Supreme Wisdom Dakini. Kind of the ultimate power couple eh ! And this is partially on parallel with Indian Yoga’s Shiva-Shakti.
You need to be seated for this next part . . . Padmasambhava’s personal practice item, and his DNA (bones or relics) are here in Nova Scotia. In Christian lineages, this is like saying Jesus’ bones and personal item are in a humidity controlled vault in Nova Scotia. Padmasambhava, the most powerful Buddha of the three times, his bones and personal practice item (phurba three-sided knife) are in Nova Scotia because of the energy of the Ingonish River Valley.
Sounds likes bull I know. I have seen and felt (not touched) some of these sacred items with my own eyes (and third eye ). There are a few other famous Buddha’s items in the same vault. Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link). Shambhala Global does not own these items, they are simply in the care of the Shambhala Archives. Surmang was the Trungpa Kagyu Lineage monastery in Tibet where the artifacts were kept for centuries. Chyogyam Trungpa had them on his person when he fled his soon to be destroyed Surmang Monastary on April 23rd, 1959. And for ten months he and his group mountaineered over the Himalayan passes to the freedom of India.
There is much much more to this history and how it relates to us here, but I will stop there. Most of the few hundred Buddhists that moved here in the 1980’s are aware of all of this. And unfortunately to my experience, they do not really share the information with locals.
...
MORE
The Indian Yoga Masters have a prophesy. The Tibetan Vajryana Masters have the Gaesar Prophesy. The Mi’kmaq and First Nations people of Canada have a Prophesy a well. These prophesies are all hundreds of years old. They overlap with each other perfectly. With different names of course. They all prophesize Nova Scotia as being a sanctuary in a dark age. And they all prophesize a Buddha manifesting here.
...
ASPIRATION
It will take anybody who reads this about a half of a year to fully process it. It is quite freaky. Some people may even land on “this cannot be true” for a period of time. Others with fortunate residual karma may connect instantly. You may have known this on some level, and it feels familiar. This information will also ripen a lot of karma on this blessed island. And if you have moved or immigrated to Cape Breton in this life, this may be the reason.
If a Lord Buddha showed up tomorrow, and asked why the Cape Breton Yoga and Dharma practitioners in are in cliques and do not talk to each other here in the Pure Land and Central Land of Kalapa. . . who is going to answer to her ? What is the answer ?
Please excuse my directness. The Yoga and Dharma community of Cape Breton needs to tear down walls, open up, work together towards harmonic cohesiveness. Just like the general population of Cape Breton does, and is famous for. All Yoga and Dharma is complementary. We are Yoga and Dharma Warriors. Now, I have been away for a long while, and I have recently returned to my home. So, it would be inappropriate for me to waltz back into town and suggest a plan of action here.
I am humbly calling upon some young, fearless, spirited, yogini or yogin to craft and develop ideas for this aspiration. Now is the time to shine. We are stronger if we all support each other. Uplift your prana, fearlessness, and unconditioned confidence. You can be a teacher or a student. A weekly get together, a monthly get together, Yoga and Dharma discussions, tea and oatcakes, or whatever. The sky is not the limit. Don’t do this for yourself, do it for everyone else. I just feel that this would be optimal here in this Pure Land of Yoga and Dharma. We need to live Yogically as Cape Breton Yoginis and Yogins. I am fully aware that Anju is in support of this aspiration as well. No judgements, let’s just naturally converge into harmony. What do you all think ?

THE GREAT BLISS OF SELF REALIZATION YOGA
(DECHEN RANGDROL YOGA)LITURGY (SADHANA) OF DIRECT EXPERIENCE AND SELF REALIZATION FOR WESTERNERS
Authentic Yoginis and Yogins !
Good morning, and great joy to you Yoga and Dharma warriors o
This liturgy is culturally relative to authentic practitioners in the west o
And these geographical boundaries are not to be taken too literal o…
If you have fully practiced in the western austerities, and have purified through authentic practice, and find yourself with fortunate residual karma in Completion Stage Practices, then you are an appropriate vessel to apply the following o
And all will gain benefit to see the path ahead o
Please do not fear the path ahead o…
If your Karma is not yet ripe enough to apply this liturgy, and you aspire to ripen that Karma, then the instructions to start are very simple . . . DECELERATE, SIMPLIFY, CREATE SPACE, AND PRACTICE AUTHENTICALLY o
Practice authentically o
Be a warrior for space o
If you cannot relate to everything in this Liturgy, please do not fret, just work with what you do relate to, the rest will come in time o…
Please remember that the subtlest truths cannot be recognised by the intellect, and can only be seen with a joyful mind o
For westerners, the intellect should rarely steer your Yogic and Dharmic vessel o
The intellect will usually reject the subtlest profound truths, and trick you into thinking that it did not do so o
In eastern Yogic and Dharma cultures, increasing the intellect was beneficial on the path to
awakening o
In the hyper-intellectual west, however, the intellect is a great obstacle and hindrance o
The fatigued dualistic intellect is also a creator of this dark age o
There is nothing wrong with the intellect in its natural balance of boundless clarity, however, it does not generally possess the sensibilities to evaluate the subtle truths of the Dharma o
Especially in a fatigued state o
Once on the path of the Bhumis though, even the intellect will begin to recognise the truth o
The intellect is actually the false summit of the mountain o
So, please reside primarily in the post-intellectual realm o…
There is no higher aspiration in the human realm than the path of awakening o
A path for awakening in this western land, that is culturally relative to westerners, did not begin to exist up until recent history o
And increasingly, new trail is currently being broken o
You may already be aware that the human sequence for full authentic practice is physical practice, pranayama, and meditation o
For westerners, it is highly unlikely that nadi bindu and prana can be realized in this life without a physical practice o
And of course, this subtle body realization is required for Full Realization o
It is highly unlikely that you can attain Realization through many Liturgies (Sadhanas), Lungs, and Empowerments o
So, it is time to STOP acquiring new ones, it only takes one authentic Liturgy to help awaken o
Empowerments can be attained through the direct realization experience alone o
This IS the ultimate empowerment o
“ . . . and through direct transmission.”In the west, Lungs and Empowerments can be impure with worldly desires, and sense pleasure desires o
In fact, each single individual experience is all that one needs to attain Realization o
Whether you drop your pen, climb a mountain, or travel around the world o
Whether it takes a minute, a second, a year, or a month, all that you need to attain Realization is contained in that single experience o
And Nirmanakaya travel is not required at all o
As a Tibetan Acharya once said “There are two types of travel . . . in the mind, and physically in the world. And the second one is not necessary.” o
This Liturgy is to help guide you to the subtlest nature of each single experience o…
In India, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and Asian Dharma countries, the Yoga and Dharma was developed and crafted to optimize its awakening benefit for those specific cultures o
Those Central Lands of Yoga and Dharma must be prostrated to o
For they are the mothers and fathers of Yoga and Dharma dissemination in this Nirmanakaya o
Unspeakably profound truths and teachings by Yogis, highly Realized Masters, and Buddhas o
However, western language and culture must be primary for a western seeker to relate to the Dharma o
This is the plain and simple truth o
In the west we do not need to intellectually study lists, paths, metaphors, and similes, of eastern Yoga and Dharma methods in Sanskrit or Tibetan languages o
We are to be exposed to them, and to understand them o
Optimally, we are to realize them, and then make them culturally relative o
Without judgement, we need to move past this romantic attachment to exotic cultures and that image of an awakened being o
What does a western Buddha look like ?
Drop these eastern Yoga and Dharma reference points o
Bring the path of Awakening to your homeland, wherever that may be oAny westerner can only attain Realization in their geographical home o
A visit to Vulture Peak Mountain can be helpful if viewed properly, and not necessary o
Such a visit is rarely viewed properly, and often compared to one’s homeland, therefore becomes an impediment o
Both are equally potent o
With travel, it is that experience of fresh and new that does have wisdom o
If you are attached to it too much, it will destroy its benefit o
Upon early realization, the hometown road that you have walked on a thousand times is vivid, new, and fresh o
That is the nature of this moment oThe teachings from the east eventually hit a ceiling or huge obstacle of unrelatability here in the west o
Very often they can in fact repel many westerners o
The Dharma only works if it magnetizes o
Cultural Relativity is the golden key to opening the Universal Treasury of Awareness o
Once this is Realized, Cultural Relativity is the golden key to guiding westerners to the same oCultural relativity
Cultural relativity
Cultural relativity…
Only through much physical practice, pranayama, and authentic meditation, is one fully prepared to approach and enter the path of the Bhumis o
It can take months, years, or decades, to accomplish this depending on how fortunate one’s residual Karma is o
There is no luck found here, only maha-exertion in previous births, and merit gained o
From here, the following is the general progressive sequence for westerners o o oMonkey mind; regular full discursiveness that you have gotten so used to o
Gaps in thought; glimpses of stillness that you now see is possible o
Quiet mind; the activity level of the mind attains near stillness o
Nonthought; the mind is perfectly still o
One Pointed Concentration; where you can hold nonthought for an indefinite period of time o
(One Pointedness in the highest teachings of the four Yogas of Mahamudra, is the same as One Pointedness in the Seventh Limb of Traditional Indian Yoga o)
Alya; the resting place of the mind o
Absorptive states; where one is in communion with the pure truth o…
There are many absorptive states o
Dream Yoga (originally Yoga Nidra in Traditional Indian Yoga), Samadhi, Pratyahara, and so on o
Pratyahara specifically being the highest and subtlest form of healing in the human birth experience o
Release right down to the Kalapas, or sub-atomic level o
The healing is the removal of blockages so we can see directly o
Pratyahara is also the missing piece of the puzzle in the Kagyu Completion Stage practices of Buddhadharma, as it somehow had failed to make the jump from the Indian Yoga Masters to the Tibetan Buddhist Lineage Holders o
A significant reason alone as to why so few fully realize the Completion Stage Practices like Dream Yoga or Phowa at this time o
Pratyahara is contained in the deepest union and familial love o
The family of the Buddhas and all sentient beings o
The deepest love is simply an element of your primary awakened Dharmakaya nature o
The deepest love also serves as the beacon to Pratyahara and all absorptive states, so we can see who we really are oThe purpose of absorptive states is at first to very rapidly resolve karma, to then clear the view and directly see the natures at play o
This is not the gradual path, this is the direct path o
At first mundane relative secondary natures, then Absolute indestructible natures at play, then the very Primary Nature itself o
Once any absorptive state is fully realized, then ALL of the absorptive states are fully realized o
Like different routes to the summit o
Once one route has fully topped out to Clear Light, then all routes are realized, and become
one o
So, work with the absorptive state that you relate with the most, and forget about the others o
Be ruthless with yourself for cutting concepts, ego, and attachment o
Please keep your hand on the sword of wisdom at all times and be ready to cut with an empty mind oFrom the absorptive states, the Dharmakaya is realized o
From the Dharmakaya, Full Realization is then attained in the Nirmanakaya o…
The Dharmakaya is realized in four general stages o
In western terms, the first stage is an absorptive experience of the luminous infinite, with a localized view or perspective o
The second stage is a further absorptive experience of the luminous infinite where you can experience any area of the infinite at any temporal time o
The third stage is a bit of a pitfall o
Nothingness o

YOGA DHARMA MUSIC EVENT : truth in song
...
(Co-hosted by BETHANY LANDRIAULT and SEAN DROHAN)...
This event is for performers and listeners alike. Everyone is invited to contribute music or spoken word that has helped you awaken or evolve in any manner. All genres are welcome, local genres are encouraged, and original music is encouraged. First time performers are encouraged, and mistakes are also encouraged.
...
In Indian Yoga there is “DOHA YOGA”, or music to help guide towards enlightenment. In Tibetan Buddhadharma there is “VAJRA GITI ”, or indestructible truth in song. Those wacky Tibetans also borrowed the word “DOHA”, for spontaneous songs of realization. We are setting out here to break new trail and create songs and music that help guide toward awakening, and are also culturally relative to westerners, so we can relate at the deepest level.

Here is an excerpt from a recent study . . ."Yoga has long been considered an effective way to decrease stress in general, but few studies have reviewed the ability of yoga to reduce stress in the workplace specifically.
Now, a new study confirms that yoga does just that. The study, published in Occupational Medicine, reviewed the results of 13 trials of 1,297 employees. Some employees had been assigned to workplace yoga programs and others were part of a control group. During the study, yoga didn’t seem to affect heart health, but it did positively affect mental health and stress reduction."

This is the time to start planning for a Yoga and Meditation practice as a key element of your Workplace Health and Wellness Program.

THE YOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF CAPE BRETON
*********************************************************
CAPE BRETON HAS THE MOST SACRED YOGA AND DHARMA SITE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know that there is a place in the Cape Breton Highlands that is the most sacred Yogic and Dharmic site in the western hemisphere ? It is the Ingonish River Valley. It used to be the “Smokey Ridge Campground” up until the late 80’s. In Indo-Tibetan circles it is called the Kalapa Valley, or the capitol of Shambhala. It is like where the Buddha attained enlightenment and the sacred Ganges River combined in how sacred it is. Literally it is the capitol of Shangri-La. A novel in the 1930’s changed the name of Shambhala to Shangri-La. And the Flintstones called it Shangri La De Da .:)
It is bigger and beyond the current owner (Sakyong Mipham's estate), with his dethronement from the Shambhala Lineage due to his toxic activity. Bigger than that. Beyond that. It is there to help everybody and anybody awaken. I have taken Tibetan Vajryana Masters and Indian Senior Yoga and Meditation Masters to the Ingonish River Valley to guide them, and they all say the same thing. This IS Kalapa! Like even they were skeptical until they experienced it. They all said that “the energy is like the Himalayas” too. (They do not even talk to each other by the way.) And when they crossed the causeway, they were all taken by the exceptionally more potent uplifting energy.
We all know this energy, because this is our home. We grew up here. Some enlightened masters from Tibet have requested that some of their remains be buried in the Ingonish River Valley. The Seventeenth Karmapa now has personal property near Baddeck. In Restricted Tibetan Vajryana conversations and teachings, the Ingonish River Valley and Cape Breton are referred to as a “Pure Land ”. A Pure Land is a physical place, or a place in a non-physical realm, that has extremely high conditions and energy to facilitate enlightenment. A “Central Land ” of Yoga and Dharma is a geographical area that is the home to a lineage in Yoga or Dharma. The traditional Central Lands have been India, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Thailand, and Zen in the rest of Asia. There is one more place in the world, and that is Nova Scotia. Called the “Central Land of Kalapa”, solely because of the existence of the Ingonish River Valley and it’s energy.
...
PERSONAL PRACTICE ITEM AND DNA OF THE MOST POWERFUL BUDDHA IS HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA
We have all heard of “The Buddha”. His statue is in most people’s gardens nowadays. He is even an element of interior and exterior design. Each spring there is an entire aisle in Winners at the Mayflower Mall filled with dozens of statues of this very same Buddha. Technically he is just one of many Buddhas, and he is called Shakyumuni or Siddhartha. He lived 2600 years ago. He prophesized that in a thousand years “. . . one would come who is even greater than myself.”. He came in the 8th century, and he walked this earth. He was the most powerful Buddha of the three times. His name is Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. One of his partners was the most powerful female Buddha of the three times, and her name is Yesche Tsogyal. She is called the Supreme Wisdom Dakini. Kind of the ultimate power couple eh ! And this is partially on parallel with Indian Yoga’s Shiva-Shakti.
You need to be seated for this next part . . . Padmasambhava’s personal practice item, and his DNA (bones or relics) are here in Nova Scotia. In Christian lineages, this is like saying Jesus’ bones and personal item are in a humidity controlled vault in Nova Scotia. Padmasambhava, the most powerful Buddha of the three times, his bones and personal practice item (phurba three-sided knife) are in Nova Scotia because of the energy of the Ingonish River Valley.
Sounds likes bull I know. I have seen and felt (not touched) some of these sacred items with my own eyes (and third eye ). There are a few other famous Buddha’s items in the same vault. Naropa’s skull bone is here too (of the “Yogas of Naropa”). To see pics these most sacred items, simply search “Surmang Relics” (as Kijiji will not allow a link). Shambhala Global does not own these items, they are simply in the care of the Shambhala Archives. Surmang was the Trungpa Kagyu Lineage monastery in Tibet where the artifacts were kept for centuries. Chyogyam Trungpa had them on his person when he fled his soon to be destroyed Surmang Monastary on April 23rd, 1959. And for ten months he and his group mountaineered over the Himalayan passes to the freedom of India.
There is much much more to this history and how it relates to us here, but I will stop there. Most of the few hundred Buddhists that moved here in the 1980’s are aware of all of this. And unfortunately to my experience, they do not really share the information with locals.
...
MORE
The Indian Yoga Masters have a prophesy. The Tibetan Vajryana Masters have the Gaesar Prophesy. The Mi’kmaq and First Nations people of Canada have a Prophesy a well. These prophesies are all hundreds of years old. They overlap with each other perfectly. With different names of course. They all prophesize Nova Scotia as being a sanctuary in a dark age. And they all prophesize a Buddha manifesting here.
...
ASPIRATION
It will take anybody who reads this about a half of a year to fully process it. It is quite freaky. Some people may even land on “this cannot be true” for a period of time. Others with fortunate residual karma may connect instantly. You may have known this on some level, and it feels familiar. This information will also ripen a lot of karma on this blessed island. And if you have moved or immigrated to Cape Breton in this life, this may be the reason.
If a Lord Buddha showed up tomorrow, and asked why the Cape Breton Yoga and Dharma practitioners in are in cliques and do not talk to each other here in the Pure Land and Central Land of Kalapa. . . who is going to answer to her ? What is the answer ?
Please excuse my directness. The Yoga and Dharma community of Cape Breton needs to tear down walls, open up, work together towards harmonic cohesiveness. Just like the general population of Cape Breton does, and is famous for. All Yoga and Dharma is complementary. We are Yoga and Dharma Warriors. Now, I have been away for a long while, and I have recently returned to my home. So, it would be inappropriate for me to waltz back into town and suggest a plan of action here.
I am humbly calling upon some young, fearless, spirited, yogini or yogin to craft and develop ideas for this aspiration. Now is the time to shine. We are stronger if we all support each other. Uplift your prana, fearlessness, and unconditioned confidence. You can be a teacher or a student. A weekly get together, a monthly get together, Yoga and Dharma discussions, tea and oatcakes, or whatever. The sky is not the limit. Don’t do this for yourself, do it for everyone else. I just feel that this would be optimal here in this Pure Land of Yoga and Dharma. We need to live Yogically as Cape Breton Yoginis and Yogins. I am fully aware that Anju is in support of this aspiration as well. No judgements, let’s just naturally converge into harmony. What do you all think ?

THE GREAT BLISS OF SELF REALIZATION YOGA
(DECHEN RANGDROL YOGA)LITURGY (SADHANA) OF DIRECT EXPERIENCE AND SELF REALIZATION FOR WESTERNERS
Authentic Yoginis and Yogins !
Good morning, and great joy to you Yoga and Dharma warriors o
This liturgy is culturally relative to authentic practitioners in the west o
And these geographical boundaries are not to be taken too literal o…
If you have fully practiced in the western austerities, and have purified through authentic practice, and find yourself with fortunate residual karma in Completion Stage Practices, then you are an appropriate vessel to apply the following o
And all will gain benefit to see the path ahead o
Please do not fear the path ahead o…
If your Karma is not yet ripe enough to apply this liturgy, and you aspire to ripen that Karma, then the instructions to start are very simple . . . DECELERATE, SIMPLIFY, CREATE SPACE, AND PRACTICE AUTHENTICALLY o
Practice authentically o
Be a warrior for space o
If you cannot relate to everything in this Liturgy, please do not fret, just work with what you do relate to, the rest will come in time o…
Please remember that the subtlest truths cannot be recognised by the intellect, and can only be seen with a joyful mind o
For westerners, the intellect should rarely steer your Yogic and Dharmic vessel o
The intellect will usually reject the subtlest profound truths, and trick you into thinking that it did not do so o
In eastern Yogic and Dharma cultures, increasing the intellect was beneficial on the path to
awakening o
In the hyper-intellectual west, however, the intellect is a great obstacle and hindrance o
The fatigued dualistic intellect is also a creator of this dark age o
There is nothing wrong with the intellect in its natural balance of boundless clarity, however, it does not generally possess the sensibilities to evaluate the subtle truths of the Dharma o
Especially in a fatigued state o
Once on the path of the Bhumis though, even the intellect will begin to recognise the truth o
The intellect is actually the false summit of the mountain o
So, please reside primarily in the post-intellectual realm o…
There is no higher aspiration in the human realm than the path of awakening o
A path for awakening in this western land, that is culturally relative to westerners, did not begin to exist up until recent history o
And increasingly, new trail is currently being broken o
You may already be aware that the human sequence for full authentic practice is physical practice, pranayama, and meditation o
For westerners, it is highly unlikely that nadi bindu and prana can be realized in this life without a physical practice o
And of course, this subtle body realization is required for Full Realization o
It is highly unlikely that you can attain Realization through many Liturgies (Sadhanas), Lungs, and Empowerments o
So, it is time to STOP acquiring new ones, it only takes one authentic Liturgy to help awaken o
Empowerments can be attained through the direct realization experience alone o
This IS the ultimate empowerment o
“ . . . and through direct transmission.”In the west, Lungs and Empowerments can be impure with worldly desires, and sense pleasure desires o
In fact, each single individual experience is all that one needs to attain Realization o
Whether you drop your pen, climb a mountain, or travel around the world o
Whether it takes a minute, a second, a year, or a month, all that you need to attain Realization is contained in that single experience o
And Nirmanakaya travel is not required at all o
As a Tibetan Acharya once said “There are two types of travel . . . in the mind, and physically in the world. And the second one is not necessary.” o
This Liturgy is to help guide you to the subtlest nature of each single experience o…
In India, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and Asian Dharma countries, the Yoga and Dharma was developed and crafted to optimize its awakening benefit for those specific cultures o
Those Central Lands of Yoga and Dharma must be prostrated to o
For they are the mothers and fathers of Yoga and Dharma dissemination in this Nirmanakaya o
Unspeakably profound truths and teachings by Yogis, highly Realized Masters, and Buddhas o
However, western language and culture must be primary for a western seeker to relate to the Dharma o
This is the plain and simple truth o
In the west we do not need to intellectually study lists, paths, metaphors, and similes, of eastern Yoga and Dharma methods in Sanskrit or Tibetan languages o
We are to be exposed to them, and to understand them o
Optimally, we are to realize them, and then make them culturally relative o
Without judgement, we need to move past this romantic attachment to exotic cultures and that image of an awakened being o
What does a western Buddha look like ?
Drop these eastern Yoga and Dharma reference points o
Bring the path of Awakening to your homeland, wherever that may be oAny westerner can only attain Realization in their geographical home o
A visit to Vulture Peak Mountain can be helpful if viewed properly, and not necessary o
Such a visit is rarely viewed properly, and often compared to one’s homeland, therefore becomes an impediment o
Both are equally potent o
With travel, it is that experience of fresh and new that does have wisdom o
If you are attached to it too much, it will destroy its benefit o
Upon early realization, the hometown road that you have walked on a thousand times is vivid, new, and fresh o
That is the nature of this moment oThe teachings from the east eventually hit a ceiling or huge obstacle of unrelatability here in the west o
Very often they can in fact repel many westerners o
The Dharma only works if it magnetizes o
Cultural Relativity is the golden key to opening the Universal Treasury of Awareness o
Once this is Realized, Cultural Relativity is the golden key to guiding westerners to the same oCultural relativity
Cultural relativity
Cultural relativity…
Only through much physical practice, pranayama, and authentic meditation, is one fully prepared to approach and enter the path of the Bhumis o
It can take months, years, or decades, to accomplish this depending on how fortunate one’s residual Karma is o
There is no luck found here, only maha-exertion in previous births, and merit gained o
From here, the following is the general progressive sequence for westerners o o oMonkey mind; regular full discursiveness that you have gotten so used to o
Gaps in thought; glimpses of stillness that you now see is possible o
Quiet mind; the activity level of the mind attains near stillness o
Nonthought; the mind is perfectly still o
One Pointed Concentration; where you can hold nonthought for an indefinite period of time o
(One Pointedness in the highest teachings of the four Yogas of Mahamudra, is the same as One Pointedness in the Seventh Limb of Traditional Indian Yoga o)
Alya; the resting place of the mind o
Absorptive states; where one is in communion with the pure truth o…
There are many absorptive states o
Dream Yoga (originally Yoga Nidra in Traditional Indian Yoga), Samadhi, Pratyahara, and so on o
Pratyahara specifically being the highest and subtlest form of healing in the human birth experience o
Release right down to the Kalapas, or sub-atomic level o
The healing is the removal of blockages so we can see directly o
Pratyahara is also the missing piece of the puzzle in the Kagyu Completion Stage practices of Buddhadharma, as it somehow had failed to make the jump from the Indian Yoga Masters to the Tibetan Buddhist Lineage Holders o
A significant reason alone as to why so few fully realize the Completion Stage Practices like Dream Yoga or Phowa at this time o
Pratyahara is contained in the deepest union and familial love o
The family of the Buddhas and all sentient beings o
The deepest love is simply an element of your primary awakened Dharmakaya nature o
The deepest love also serves as the beacon to Pratyahara and all absorptive states, so we can see who we really are oThe purpose of absorptive states is at first to very rapidly resolve karma, to then clear the view and directly see the natures at play o
This is not the gradual path, this is the direct path o
At first mundane relative secondary natures, then Absolute indestructible natures at play, then the very Primary Nature itself o
Once any absorptive state is fully realized, then ALL of the absorptive states are fully realized o
Like different routes to the summit o
Once one route has fully topped out to Clear Light, then all routes are realized, and become
one o
So, work with the absorptive state that you relate with the most, and forget about the others o
Be ruthless with yourself for cutting concepts, ego, and attachment o
Please keep your hand on the sword of wisdom at all times and be ready to cut with an empty mind oFrom the absorptive states, the Dharmakaya is realized o
From the Dharmakaya, Full Realization is then attained in the Nirmanakaya o…
The Dharmakaya is realized in four general stages o
In western terms, the first stage is an absorptive experience of the luminous infinite, with a localized view or perspective o
The second stage is a further absorptive experience of the luminous infinite where you can experience any area of the infinite at any temporal time o
The third stage is a bit of a pitfall o
Nothingness o

***YOGA PRACTICE IS "ON" FOR THIS WEEK***
Good Day,
My name is Sean Drohan, and I have recently moved back to my home town of Sydney. Some may know me as the former host of EASTLINK TV’s “the path of yoga ” (8 seasons). I am privileged to have been guiding Traditional Yoga and Meditation in Nova Scotia for over 15 years. I am also fortunate to have a colleague and buddy who is a Senior Traditional Yoga Master from the capitol of the home of Yoga (Rishikesh, India)(*pic in add photos). I have also been guiding “THE FULL VIEW OF YOGA AND DHARMA RELATIVE TO US ” Day Retreats province-wide for about 12 years.
...
This continual practice will include ;
+ A very simple Traditional Yoga physical practice sequence developed for Nova Scotian life
+ Live banjo & mandolin music performed during a long 15 minute Savasana (Relaxation Pose)
+ Pranayama (Breathing Techniques)
+ Meditation
In the full view of Traditional Yoga, the sequence for humans is PHYSICAL PRACTICE, PRANAYAMA, and MEDITATION. The first two are preparatory for the meditation. This is how we (*and our subtle energy systems) heal, and then move down the path of awakening. This will all be guided in a manner that is culturally relative to Nova Scotian life, so we can relate....
