“Echte onbevreesdheid is het product van tederheid. Het komt door de wereld je hart te laten kietelen, je rauwe en mooie hart. Je bent bereid je open te stellen, zonder weerstand of verlegenheid, en de wereld tegemoet treden. Je bent bereid je hart met anderen te delen.” 

~ Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Veel Gestelde Vragen

Wat is de praktijk van Dorje Kasung en Kasungship?

Het Dorje Kasung-pad werd in de jaren zeventig gesticht door Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, als een middel om zorg te dragen voor de ruimte van dharmabeoefening en -leringen, evenals dharmabeoefenaars. Het is gebaseerd op de oude tradities van bodhisattva-dienst en Shambhala-krijgerschap en de belangrijkste slogan is ‘Overwinning op oorlog’.’

Marty Janowitz’ dharmic path as a student of Trungpa, Rinpoche began in 1970. It has long been intertwined with the path of Kasungship even prior to the visible birth of the Dorje Kasung during the first visit of HH Karmapa XVI, in 1974. During 1972-4 Marty periodically served as CTR’s attendant-driver in Boulder and as secretary-attendant during a multi-city journey in California. During Karmapa’s first visit, Marty was his 24/7 driver/attendant in Boulder, including a pivotal overnight with him at 1111 Pearl Street when a knife and death threat was notoriously embedded in Rinpoche’s unlocked door as Marty slept on the adjoining office couch. From that moment, Marty realized that being his close attendant was not for his personal gratification, and a prenatal Kasung was born. During the 1975 Seminary (Snowmass) Marty lived, drove, and was at the side of the Dorje Dradul throughout, which included key toddler Vajra Guard moments including Rinpoche’s spontaneous utterance of the Guard Slogans, multiple peashooter duals, snowball campaigns, and the well-known but little understood Merwin ‘incident.’ In 1976 Marty first became a ‘gentleman attendant,’ then an early Kusung under the leadership of the first Kusung Dapön, John Perks. In 1980, Marty was astounded to be named the second Kusung Dapon (Khyi Kyap), the post he held through DDMs life, paranirvana, cremation and beyond, training and extending Kusung service and Court principles in service and protection to the entire Mukpo clan (ret. 1994). At the second Magyal Pomra Encampment skirmish, Marty and Terry Schultz were appointed commanders, and quickly demonstrated disappointment in active service to the Dorje Dradul. Marty was named Warrior General of Shambhala by Sakyong Mipham in 1997 to create a Council of Warriors to invigorate the teachings, praktijken, Kalapa Assemblies and mission of the worldwide Shambhala Lodges, and serve as the primary preceptor of KOS Oaths. In 2013, he was appointed an Acharya (senior leraar) within the Shambhala Buddhist lineage, a role he retired from in 2020. Within and beyond Shambhala Marty shares that all roles and activities are held as close expressions of his lifetime Kasung and Shambala oaths.

In the 1990s, as Director of the Halifax Shambhala Centre, it was apparent that this large, porous community could benefit from Desung (harmony protection) practice of the Dorje Kasung and turned her attention there. The Kasung teachings were so helpful in her nursing practice with those living with serious mental illness or chronic pain. She maintains her lifetime Dorje Kasung oath.
