Liberation from suffering is a high priority for Anyen Rinpoche. <\/p>\n

\u201cAuthentic spirituality can free us from so many different emotions\u2014suffering and pain,\u201d the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual teacher and author told more than 40 people seated on yoga rolls and cushions at the Gold Gym Sattva Yoga centre, April 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect so much from our soul mates,\u201d he explained, \u201cbut we are just human beings\u2014we have to have realistic expectations from our relationships and not be too selfish\u2014catch our emotions before they escalate.\u201d <\/p>\n

After opening the session with prayer, Rinpoche, traditionally clothed in Kasaya, the special dress of ordained people, gave his views on ego, negative identity and self-importance and how it robs us of our quality of life. <\/p>\n

According to Rinpoche, who visits the Beaconsfield centre twice a year to teach on various spiritual topics, we are slaves to our minds, where thoughts, desires and fears rule us like a tyrant. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not unique in our fears and desires,\u201d he said. \u201cWhenever we feel our thoughts emotions and desires are unique, we always lose. If we instead take a step back and see what is arising in the mind, we will have a chance to free ourselves from that tyrant who causes pain and suffering.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cTo have better relationships in this day and age we need spirituality,\u201d Rinpoche explained. \u201cDefining spirituality is broad and can be anything from physical yoga or something as random as climbing or activities that mean spirituality to you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Brought up in a traditional Tibetan culture, the former monk gave up celibacy when he met his wife Allison an American. For Rinpoche they are the perfect example of compromise that is required for any relationship to work. <\/p>\n
