My Reflection At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

495 Words2 Pages

I attended a seminar (3.20.16) at The Arlington Center held by Tsering Ngodup for my PIE project. Mr. Ngodup is a lama and teaches Buddhism and meditation across the world. He was born into Buddhism culture and has been teaching mediation and Buddhism since 1983! In addition to teaching, he is a chaplain at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. During the seminar, Mr. Ngodup taught us about Buddhism, mind training, and meditation. After the seminar I met with Mr. Ngodup and asked him some questions relating to his life as a lama and meditation in general. He told me that he as always found strength in his Buddhism practices and never felt the need to seek out any other pathways.

Prior to the seminar I felt a little nervous, but after the seminar I felt empowered and inspired by the teachings of Mr. Ngodup. The whole time sitting there, I kept thinking to myself, I can’t believe this seminar is free!

This meditation was focused on compassion, loving, and kindness. He instructed us to first think of someone in need of loving and kindness. Next, we would breathe in all their pain and hopelessness and when we breathe out, we would breathe (back into them) the white light (of hope). He explained to us that this is a very difficult meditation and it requires much practice. He also said that the pain from the other person would not stay in us, that it will be dissolved once we breathe it in. Reflecting on the mediation, I realize what a selfless, profound practice this is. During the experience, I felt as if I was really helping the person I was meditating for and it felt good; it made my soul feel good!
