The Dalai Lama Foundation Canada (DLFC) has invited His Holiness the Dalai Lama to give a public talk in Montreal entitled: Educating the Heart: The Power of Compassion.

We welcome everyone to this event. Together, join us in warmly greeting him; bringing a singular receptivity to his message of peace and compassion.

His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama – Biography

The Dalai Lama, whose name derives from of a Mongol title meaning “ocean of wisdom” is considered by Tibetan Buddhists to be a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion and protective patron of Tibet.

He was born on July 6, 1935 into a peasant family in the village of Takster in the north west of Tibet. Two years later, Lhamo Döndrup, as his parents called him, was recognized as the incarnation of the XIIIth Dalai Lama and was taken to Lhasa.

On 22 February 1940, at the age of only four and a half, he was solemnly enthroned as the XIVth Dalai Lama and received the name Tenzin Gyatso. He began his formal education at the age of six and followed the entire course of Buddhist studies leading up to the highest degree of Geshe Lharampa. Throughout his training in both Buddhist philosophy and meditative practice, he received instruction from some of the greatest masters of Tibet.

In 1950, amid mounting tension due to the increasingly aggressive attitude of Communist China, the Dalai Lama was obliged to assume the full political leadership of his country. At the age of fifteen, he was enthroned as the temporal and spiritual leader of Tibet. In 1954 he travelled to Peking in the hope of negotiating a peaceful settlement with Mao Tse-tung and other Chinese leaders, among them Chou En-lai and Deng Xiaoping. In 1956, on the occasion of the Buddha Jayanti, the 2500-year celebrations of the Buddha’s Parinirvana, the Dalai Lama visited India. Many of his advisors pressed him not to go home but to stay in India. He decided, however, to return to Lhasa and to continue his efforts to establish a form of peaceful coexistence with the occupying Chinese forces.

The atrocities committed by the Chinese in the East of Tibet thwarted this initiative and a popular uprising in Lhasa became inevitable. This was brutally suppressed on March 10, 1959, a date now commemorated annually by the Tibetan people. By 1960, this final protest against the Chinese invasion had claimed the lives of about ninety thousand Tibetans.

Owing to these developments, the Dalai Lama was obliged to seek sanctuary in India. He was followed by over one hundred thousand Tibetans who fled to safety across the Himalayas. In 1960, the Dalai Lama, now residing in Dharamsala, established the Tibetan Government in Exile and since then has worked tirelessly and by every means available to improve the condition of Tibet and its people.

In the early years of his exile, the Dalai Lama appealed to the United Nations for a solution to the Tibetan question. In 1959, 1961, and 1965, the UN adopted resolutions demanding fundamental human rights for Tibetans as well as their right to self-determination.

Regarding the Tibetan community, the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile are determined to do all they can to preserve the Tibetan people and its culture by taking care of refugees, promoting economic development and creating an educational system of schools and universities. More than two hundred monasteries have been re-founded in exile. In 1963, the Dalai Lama promulgated a draft constitution for a future free Tibet and has shown a keen interest in the establishment of a democratic Tibetan society.

Moreover, in addition to his work for the Tibetans in exile, he has been untiring in his efforts to find a non-violent solution to the question of freedom for Tibet.

In 1987, as a first step towards clarifying the future status of his country, the Dalai Lama unveiled a Five Point Peace Plan, which he developed further in June the following year in a speech given before the European Parliament at Strasbourg. He called for genuine Tibetan autonomy within the confines of the People’s Republic of China; he asked that Tibet be declared a “zone of peace”; that the policy of massive settlement of ethnic Chinese in Tibet be discontinued; that human rights be fully restored; and that the stock piling of nuclear weapons and the disposal of nuclear waste in Tibet be brought to an end. Finally he demanded that the future of the country be subject to genuine negotiation.

In 1989, the Dalai Lama, as leader of the Tibetans, was awaded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to find a non-violent solution to the Tibetan issue. The statement of the Nobel Committee declared: “The Dalai Lama has developed his philosophy of peace based on a profound respect for all living beings and on a concept of universal responsibility that embraces not only the human species but the whole of the natural world.”

In July 2001, the Dalai Lama decreed a reduction in his personal political powers. At his behest, the Tibetans in exile elected professor Samdhong Rinpoche as their first prime minister.

In the course of his travels around the world, the Dalai Lama has been officially received by many heads of state. Meetings with him are requested by leading personalities in every field: politics, religion, science and economy. In many countries, he is repeatedly invited to speak at public conferences before thousands of people on the subject of harmonious coexistence and peace in the world.

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

For many years the numbers 11:11 have been mysteriously appearing to people all over the world. Often appearing on digital clocks, the sightings of 11:11 tend to occur during times of heightened awareness, having a most powerful effect on the people involved. This causes a reactivation of our cellular memory banks. There’s a stirring deep inside, a hint of remembrance of something long forgotten.

The appearance of 11:11 is also a powerful confirmation that we are on the right track, aligned with our highest Truth. Throughout the years, I have personally encountered thousands of people all over the world who, have experienced repeated sightings of 11:11. They all want to know what is happening to them and why. What does the 11:11 signify?

11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which, when activated, signifies that our time of completion is near. This refers to the completion of duality. When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Invisible. When this happens, it is time to reflect on whatever you are doing for a moment and Look Larger. A transfer is in position. You can enter the Greater Reality if you wish pray or meditate and seed your future and also, you can be seeded by the Invisible. You can ask for help in some specific area of your life or simply listen quietly and receive a revelation.

The appearance of 11:11 is an always beneficial act of Divine Intervention telling you that it is time to take a good look around you and see what is really happening. It’s time to pierce the veils of illusion that keep us bound to an unreal world. You have been chosen, because you are ready, to step into the Greater Reality. To lead the way for others into a new way of living, into a Greater Love. To ascend from
duality into Oneness.

The 11.11 is the bridge our vitality and oneness. It is our pathway into the postive unknown and beyond.

Direction of Intention

Imagine that intention is the car you drive;

imperative for movement, the essence of your desires.

The key to the power of energetic deliverance lies within intention.

One aspect of intention is specific direction — clear & concise.

It is there you where you determine the road your energy will follow.

Intention is provided to avoid the energy being lost, misguided or usurped in the Universe.

For example, when we hold the intention of unconditional love within our hearts,

we open ourselves to the Universe & Spirit…

…to allow an expansion & an extension of our truest selves.

Unconditional love emerges unimpeded, brilliant.

It is in this place where we face the reality of sending our love to another

- be that a person, groups of people, things, or places;

we intuitively recognize we draw upon our heart & soul…

…through our unlimited divine potential.

Respect for freewill to remain for the intended recipient…

…is essential for pure deliverance of our intention.

Continuing to see our Earth as a literal and violent battleground for contending world views is a sure course toward the collapse of our civilization. The solution must begin with a change of individual thinking on a very large scale. Edgar opens dialogue and discussion of the ramifications, possibilities, responsibilities, and courses of individual action for sustaining our future, for the benefit of ourselves and our progeny.

Nuclear arms reduction, not so sure……Test ban treaty…….maybe…..Lets hope it works!
