Thus there is neither any reason for conceit in deeming oneself better than others\, nor any reason for self-contempt\, thinking of oneself as inferior and unable to reach enlightenment. This seeing is obscured by veils which are removable and do not touch the inherent purity and perfection of the nature of the mind.\nKhenpo Yeshi will be teaching from Buddha Nature\, The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra\, by by Arya Maitreya (commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye and explanations by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche). Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the teaching.\nKhenpo Yeshi Rinpoche will teach on the fundamental discovery of our buddha nature\, and help us realize the teachings on the essence and source of buddhahood.\n\nA Lama Chopa meditation practice will precede each day’s teaching. This one-hour practice\, let by Khenpo Yeshi\, is a complete meditation for purifying the four obscurations through receiving the four empowerments of transforming one’s body\, speech\, and mind into the pure enlightened state.\n \n\n1871 N.

We have the ability to know and to understand\, and we must make best use of the favorable conditions of a human incarnation.”\n“We must not meaninglessly waste this opportunity.

Traga Rinpoche will also present an overview of these two methods and clarify for us the differences and similarities inherent in them.\n\nAn excellent book on these teachings is Natural Liberation: Padmasambhava’s Teachings on the Six Bardos\, with commentary by Gyatrul Rinpoche and translation by B.

The empowerment ritual confers authority upon the practitioner to engage in the practice of the particular deity for which the empowerment is given. There are four stages to the empowerment ritual: the vase empowerment\, which purifies the obscurations of the body; the secret empowerment\, which purifies the obscurations of speech; the knowledge or wisdom empowerment\, which purifies our mental obscurations; and the word empowerment\, which purifies the subtle habitual tendencies which give rise to dualistic perception.\nGape Lama will teach us about the meaning of empowerment and how empowerments can help us transform our ordinary\, habitual tendencies into enlightened activity. This will be a good introduction to the White Tara Empowerment which he will be bestowing on Friday night\, March 20th.\n\nGape Lama will also be leading White Tara Practice on Wednesday night\, March 18th at 7:30pm at Little Chapel of All Nations\, 1401 E.

The intention of this great accumulation of mantras\, is to help ease the suffering of all sentient beings who have recently passed away and may be wandering and/or suffering in the intermediate state between death and re-birth. Buddha Amitabha is an historical buddha from another era. He made special aspiration that he would accomplish bodhicitta and benefit all sentient beings. In particular he focused on his pure land called Dewachen and said even those who have not achieved bhumis can be reborn in my pure land. They can make this connection simply by hearing my name and developing devotion.\nLocation\n1871 N.

Through the guru yoga practice\, all obstacles can be removed and all blessings received. With the help of the outer teacher\, we can discover the inner teacher\, the true nature of our own mind. If we wish to progress towards enlightenment\, we need the guidance of a qualified master\, while we seek to rid ourselves of ignorance and free ourselves from the tyranny of ego.

Achi was the grandmother of Lod Jigten Sumgon\, the founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. She is like a mother\, who loves her students fiercely and will do anything to protect them – so that the Dharma\, especially the Drikung Kagyu – will flourish. \nAchi’s blessing are said to be extremely quick and her practice is done daily in virtually every Drikung Lineage monastery both inside and outside of Tibet. Individuals who practice Achi and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances\, especially hindrances to their Dharma practice. \nAn Empowerment is offered on Saturday\, Sept 26th\, followed by practice sessions for the rest of the week end. This particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineageís founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche. \n\n1871 N.

Together with generating Bodhichitta\, it forms the foundation for accomplishing the level of complete enlightenment and the source of all that is positive in existence and peace. \nRefuge is one of the preliminaries to Mahamudra practice and is the second in a series of teachings from Drupon Rinchen Dorje. Drupon Dorje will be teaching Refuge from the Jewel Ornament of Liberation. This teaching is open to all levels of practitioners and beginners are welcome. \nOur own Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche has encouraged us to seek guidance from Drupon Dorje with respect to Mahamudra practice and Drupon Dorje has graciously agreed to teach the stages of the path. † \n\n1871 N.

At the moment of our death these aggregates dissolve into their pure and impure qualities\, and may be experienced as dream-like imagery or visions. \nIn the practice of Shitro\, we learn to recognize this\, so that as we transmigrate through the intermediate state after death\, weíre not propelled by karmic propensities into lower rebirths. Rather\, weíre able to abide in the Nature of Mind. This journey of compounded and uncompounded awareness is the central theme in the Prayer of Kungtuzangpo.\n\nThis Shitro Empowerment\, Lung\, and Teaching will be held on Friday afternoon\, 12/4 from 2-6pm at the Benedictine Convent.

When one learns to abide in the inherently natural state of wisdom-awareness the paramitas manifest spontaneously in one’s day to day actions\, like breast milk passing from mother to babe.
