A place for retreat and study of ancient inner science
Interaction with and benefits for the society
Interaction with the scientific community
One of Tarab Tulku's great achievements was to link the ancient Indian science of mind and phenomena with the modern scientific understanding. A breakthrough in this relation was the conference on 'Unity in Duality' held in Munich in 2002 where a number of distinguished scientists were partaking.
Before the Munich conference Tarab Tulku Rinpoche had distributed his paper on Unity in Duality - Tendrel to the attending scientists. This paper had deeply impressed and challenged the scientists - as they later expressed it in their own unique ways. For instance Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Dürr started his speech with the words: "I was very touched by the introduction that Tarab Tulku gave in his paper, and by his comment, that if we were to actually accept the implications of modern science and the ancient eastern wisdom, our view of our outer and inner world and our everyday life would change dramatically. Yes, this is what is necessary today, and
that is why I am here. I totally agree with you. We may argue in slightly different ways, because we come from different poles, but the exciting thing is that we have a lot in common."
A book in German titled 'Einheit in der Vielfalt' with a collection of the different scientific articles from the conference was released in March 2005.
Interaction with the community at large
One of the major industries of Dehra Dun is educational institutions of all kind. Tarabling will fit very well into this pattern and add an international perspective. Since March 2005 the 'Unity in Duality' training programme has been taking place at the Songtsen Library, Centre for Tibetan and Himalayan Studies in Dehra Dun as well as at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Stuies in Sarnath, under the University of Varanasi.
Interaction with the local community
The institute will be seated in a typical small village completely surrounded by forest and the river bed. Contact with the villagers has been friendly and there is an expectation from the villagers that the project will benefit the community. It is our intention to employ local people for service jobs and building maintaining etc. Right now we have one person engaged as a guard, and we have employed local craftsmen for upkeeping the land and to maintain the old farmhouse.
Apart form this, the institute will give the opportunity for the villagers to establish different small businesses.
