4th Winter Mindfulness Camp

''The mind is much more important than anything. Because, if you don’t control your mind, all the others no point of control. You are not your mind’s boss. Your mind is your boss.''

Hook

Workshop participants with Khyentse Rinpoche 

In this technology era, teachers will require creative ways to ‘‘HOOK’’ the others. How can we do this? The film affords us a rich, audio-visual medium for transformation across cultures and times. Therefore, the creative film could be an effective teaching strategy.

Khyentse Rinpoche during the session 

To explore the power of film as a skillful means for connecting and teaching, I attended a 6-day workshop on an Introduction to Film at Sarnath International Nyingma Institute (SINI), in Varanasi. The workshop was facilitated by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Tuning Fork Production to delve into rich and manifold possibilities of presenting teaching through films. It was co-hosted by Sarnath International Nyingma Institute and Deer Park Institute.   

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche said ‘‘the film is one of the best medium for communication’’ and Rinpoche encouraged all the participants to continue using the skills to make more films.
