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. \n Prostration (in the Tibetan spiritual sense) signifies respect and compassion for all sentient beings. It helps purify one’s negative past and present karma and creates positive merit. When one practices prostrations\, they lose nothing but their ego attachment. The bigger the ego – the more suffering. The lesser the ego – the less suffering one has. \nThe Venerable Traga Rinpoche from Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley Arizona\, will be providing instruction on refuge and prostration practice in this two-day teaching. \n\n St. Markís Presbyterian Church 3809 East 3rd Street Tucson\, Arizona 85716 (Click here for a map) URL:https://www.drikungtucson.org/event/refuge-and-prostration-practice-instruction-2/ CATEGORIES:Dharma Teaching END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20060122T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20060122T000000 DTSTAMP:20260916T024816 CREATED:20140813T001500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140813T001500Z UID:10000033-1137888000-1137888000@www.drikungtucson.org SUMMARY:Gampopa's Jewel Ornament of Liberation DESCRIPTION:Gampopaís Jewel Ornament of Liberation is considered the masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism.

Only humans have the right amount of suffering ó our inspiration toward religion ó and the leisure with which to pursue that path. The human birth\, used correctly\, becomes a tool that benefits both self and all others. Through relying on Buddha Amitayus\, we can be protected from untimely death and increase our life span\, allowing us to make full use of the opportunity now at hand\, i.e.\, our human body. Moreover\, the practice of Amitayus itself becomes a means to make meaningful this human existence. \n Amitayus practice is traditionally done at the beginning of the preliminary practices (Ngˆndro)\, as insurance that the practitioner will live to complete their full commitment. It is also accumulated at the start of any long retreat. This particular Amitayus practice\, called Drupay Gyalmoís Longevity Practice\, is an important practice for the Drikung lineage\, which traces it to a great Indian dakini (Machik Drupay Gyalmo) who taught it to Rechungpa (one of Milarepaís main disciples). This is a wonderful opportunity for practitioners to practice together in a traditional\, intensive and intimate retreat setting with an accomplished master. \n This five-day closed retreat is our first annual fall retreat\, and registration is limited to 15 persons. Led by Drupˆn Thinley Nyingpo Rinpoche\, this retreat will be held in the tranquil high-desert surrounds of Patagonia\, Arizona\, one hour south of Tucson. The retreat will begin on Friday evening with an empowerment ceremony\, and be followed by five full days of meditation and instruction. As this retreat is closed\, pre-registration is required\, and attendees will need to remain on-site throughout the retreat.\n \n\n(Click here to download a teaching flyer.)
