Rinpoche
Continued from cover
Chagdud Rinpoche has often taught
on world peace and his message is
important for all of us to understand.
“It is my wish,” he has said, “that the
spiritual power of peace will touch the
mind of every person on this earth,
radiating out from a deep peace with
in our own minds, across political and
religious barriers of ego and con
ceptual righteousness. Our first work
as peacemakers is to clear our minds
of mental conflicts caused by ignor
ance, anger, grasping, jealousy and
pride.
“The inner peace we seek should
be so absolutely pure, so stable, that
it cannot be moved to anger by those
who live and profit by war, or to self
grasping and fear by confrontation
with contempt, hatred and death. In
credible patience is necessary to ac
complish any aspect of world peace,
and the source of such patience is the
space of inner peace from which you
recognize with great clarity that war
and suffering are the outer reflections
of the mind's inner poisons.
“If you truly understand that the es
sential difference in peacemakers and
warmakers is that peacemakers have
discipline and control over egotistical
anger, grasping, jealousy and pride,
while warmakers, in their ignorance,
manifest the results of these poisons
in the world—if you truly understand
this you will never allow yourself to
be defeated from within or without.
“As you meet the powerful, world
ly men who sit at the top of the war
machines, regard them with strict
equanimity. Convince them as effec
tively as you know how, but be con
stnatly aware of your own state of
mind. If you begin to experience
anger, retreat. If you can go on with
out anger, perhaps you will penetrate
the terrible delusion that causes war
with all its hellish sufferings.
“From the clear space of your own
inner peace, your compassion must
expand to include all who are involved
in war—the soldiers caught in the
cruel karma of killing, and who sacri
fice their precious human rebirth; the
generals and politicians who intend to
benefit and cause disruption and death
instead; the civilians who are wound
ed, killed and turned into refugees.
True compassion is utterly neutral and
is moved by suffering of every sort,
not tied to right and wrong, attach
ment and aversion.
“The work of peace is a spiritual
path in itself, a means to develop per
fect qualities of mind and to test these
qualities against urgent necessity, ex
treme suffering and death. Do not be
afraid to give your time, energy and
wealth.”
Chagdud Rinpoche will be giving
two public talks in Eugene in the near
future. On Tuesday evening, Decem
ber 15, at 7:30 pm, he will present a
talk with slides entitled “Return to
Tibet,” at the Unitarian Church, 477
E. 40th Ave., Eugene. This past sum
mer, after 28 years, Rinpoche return
ed to Tibet and spent two months at
his monastery, which fortunately has
survived the destruction which rav
aged Tibet. He was greeted by hun
dreds of people and had the oppor
tunity to renew old friendships and
visit with relatives. During his talk,
Rinpoche will speak about the lives
of the people of Eastern Tibet during
the last 30 years, how they have sur
vived under Chinese rule, how their
lives have changed, and how their
religion and culture have been affect
ed. A donation of $7 is suggested.
On Tuesday evening, January 5, at
7:30 pm, Rinpoche will speak on
“Daily Life as a Spiritual Path.” The
talk will also be held at the Unitarian
Church, and the suggested donation
is again $7. As the time of year rolls
around for making new resolutions,
it would be good to consider how we
can bring our spiritual and worldly
dimensions into greater harmony. Not
only would it benefit us as indi
viduals, but it would bring us one step
closer to bringing about world peace.
We are fortunate to have Chagdud
Tulku Rinpoche among us to provide
insights and guidance on how we can
bridge these two dimensions of our
being.

What is a
' CHEMICAL FREE TURKEY?
i
y (
(es
Consumers are used to seeing the word
“natural” on fresh turkey labels. This does
not mean the turkey is chemical-free.
Natural” turkeys such as Acme and
Armour are simply unbasted. The term
“natural” only refers to what has been
done after the bird was killed. In contrast,
the term “chemical-free” refers to how the
bird is fed and treated while still alive.
Shelton turkeys are raised on the finest
natural feeds available and are produced
without any hormone or antibiotic shots.
No artificial growth stimulants are added
to their feed. Shelton turkeys are raised
on the ground (not in cages). They are fed
alfalfa meal, ground grain, cod liver oil
and whey. Corn fattened, these birds con
sistently win awards for greater meat to
bone ratio. We believe that Shelton’s are
the finest turkeys on the market and we’d
like to introduce them to you for the
Holidays at our cost.
