Four Noble Truths | Buddhism & Yoga
Jane Lanza: Welcome to a very special episode of Yoga Now. Today we’re joined by the very venerable Lama Migmar.
Lama Migmar: I’ve learned yoga as part of my spiritual practice. So, to practice yoga you need to be initiated, you need to receive transmissions, you need to receive instructions from an authentic lineage. And as a Buddhist yoga; then the yoga has to be coming from Buddha. So Buddha is the first teacher of the yoga.
But now in the west… I think recently I’ve done some interview with the yogis and what is yoga. So, there are so many different answers. For some, yoga is carma; for some yoga is health. For some yoga is love. For some yoga is exercise. For some yoga is therapy. So it can be many different things for many different people because now they are bringing yoga to their level according to their need.

Jane Lanza: Can you tell us about Sakya Center; what you do. What Sakya Center in India is and what Sakya Center here in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Lama Migmar: Actually in Tibetan Buddhism, we have four major traditions. We have… yeah, and Sakya is one of those traditions. And then Sakya actually was the second oldest tradition. And Sakya emphasized only study and practice together in a parallel.
