The 6
Nyingbu-lam Precepts
Violence is the course of a weak, untrained mind.
Nyingbulam is taught and practiced without ego.
Nyingbulam begins and ends with courtesy and respect for all.
The path may seem long and hard, but once we get there… The travels fade in the
comparison to the reward…
To know things and others is wisdom; to truly know oneself is enlightenment.
You and your adversary are one in the same.. treat them as such.
Shihan Carter is a contemporary Buddhist and Ordained Bodhisattva and has
spent 12 plus years training this mind and filling his heart full of compassion
and openness for all. He has studied how compassion is entwined in self defense
as much as it is the fabric of life. This can be seen in his teachings and in
his art of Nyingbu-lam. The name alone “Nyingbu-lam” is Tibetan for
Compassionate Excellence. A student will not only learn how to utilize their
bodies in the use of defending themselves but they will also learn how to adopt
and utilize their minds and hearts as well; self defense in not only about
defending yourself from an attacker, but also defending that attacker from
himself. So students will learn how to identify dangerous situations, and how to
make spontaneous intelligent decisions on the proper type of action such as
avoid the situation, calm the situation, defend oneself or even flee the
situation. Every defensive situation is different, just like the people
involved, so a cookie cutter reaction is not always the best.
