According to legend\, at the time of the Tibetan empire at the end of the 8th century\, the rainbow body master of Oddiyana\, Padmasambhava\, along with the help of the primordial wisdom dakini Yeshe Tsogyal bestowed infinite empowerments\, transmissions\, and oral instructions to guide beings throughout the past\, present\, and future. Many of these teachings were then hidden to be discovered by future incarnations of their. In particular\, there was a princess\, Pema Sal\, who Padmasambhava resurrected\, and her brother\, the prince Lhase Mutig Tsenpo\, who went on to rule Tibet. The princess and prince both received essential blessings and instructions\, which were hidden for them to discover for the benefit of future generations. In the 14th century\, the incarnation of the resurrected princess became known as Padma Ledrel Tsal\, who revealed the Khandro Nyingthig\, Heart Essence of the Dakinis\, at Drigung. His next incarnation\, the great Dzogchen master Longchenpa\, taught the Khandro Nyingthig along with his own mind treasures\, the Khandro Yangthig\, to a select few\, including his own son Dragpa Özer. \nCenturies after that\, the incarnation of both the prince Lhase Mutig Tsenpo and Dragpa Özer took birth as the great Drigung master Rinchen Phüntsog. Rinchen Phüntshog received and practiced the Khandro Nyingthig when he was young and this led to his own discovery of the famous Yangzab treasure cycle from the same Shotö Tidro cave of Drigung. In these directly interrelated treasure cycles are the heart of the generation stage and completion stage practices that emanated directly from mind of Padmasambhava. In particular\, the Dzogchen practices of cutting through concepts into the naked nature of the mind (Tregchö)\, separating samsara and nirvana (Khorde Rushen)\, and directly crossing into the experience of the three enlightened bodies of awakening (Thögal) are explained in presented in detail with many secret oral instructions. \nLed by Eric Fry-Miller\, this talk will be a candid lucid presentation in modern English about what these ancient visionary treasures of the sacred land of Drigung can mean for us here and now in our lives and meditations. There will also be an emphasis on how we might effectively and sustainably train in these practices to follow in the footsteps of those like Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal\, who hid these instructions in the past for us in the future and beyond. \nThis event is open to all and free of charge. Donations welcome. \nSunday\, April 1st 2018\n10am-Noon and 2pm – 5pm \n\nEric Fry-Miller has been translating written Tibetan texts and live oral teachings by Tibetan Lamas for fifteen years. In that time he has completed a traditional three year retreat on the Drigung Kagyu practices of Five-fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa. He has also spent additional years in retreat focusing on the Dzogchen practices of the Nyingthig traditions. \n  URL:https://www.drikungtucson.org/event/dzogchen-treasure-traditions-of-drigung-introduction-to-the-khandro-nyingthig-and-yangzab/ LOCATION:Drikung Namgyal Ling Center\, 1135 West Twin Buttes Road\, Sahuarita\, AZ\, 85629\, United States CATEGORIES:Special Event ORGANIZER;CN="Brennan Washburn":MAILTO:brennan@drikungtucson.org GEO:31.938712;-110.988891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Drikung Namgyal Ling Center 1135 West Twin Buttes Road Sahuarita AZ 85629 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1135 West Twin Buttes Road:geo:-110.988891,31.938712 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20180325T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20180325T170000 DTSTAMP:20260613T130630 CREATED:20180321T024540Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180322T035449Z UID:10000403-1521972000-1521997200@www.drikungtucson.org SUMMARY:Introduction to the Drigung Kagyü Practice Traditions of Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa with Eric Fry-Miller DESCRIPTION:At the very heart of all the vajrayana traditions in Tibet is the Kagyü or whispered oral lineage that was transmitted by the Indian Mahasiddhas Tilopa and Naropa and then brought to Tibet by Marpa the translator. Of all the Kagyü traditions that flourished and spread from Marpa’s great yogi student Milarepa to this day\, the Drigung Kagyü presentations of Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa distill the very quintessence of the vajrayana into highly accessible sets of meditation practices. Five-Fold Mahamudra includes meditation on bodhichitta or the awakened mind\, the yidam deity\, union with the mind of the outer\, inner\, secret\, and ultimate teacher\, mahamudra\, and dedicating practice for the awakening of all beings throughout the universe. \nThe Six Yogas of Naropa consists of special methods that allow us to experience awakening directly in our own physical bodies and minds in all states of reality through learning to control our breath and subtle energy\, our deep sleep\, dreams\, waking perception\, and our minds at the time of death and beyond. These six practices are known as inner fire (Tummo)\, luminosity\, dreams\, illusory body\, phowa\, and the bardo. Together\, the methods Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa represent a complete path that can lead to complete awakening in one lifetime if properly studied and practiced. \nLed by Eric Fry-Miller\, this will be a candid discussion in modern English about what these practices of ancient India and Tibet can mean for us here in the 21st century. The goal of these talks will be to impart a clear understanding of how these practices were both practiced extensively in the past and how we might practically apply them here in our daily lives and in our meditations. \nThis event is open to all and free of charge. Donations welcome. \nSunday\, March 25th 2018\n10am-Noon and 2pm – 5pm\n—- \nEric Fry-Miller has been translating written Tibetan texts and live oral teachings by Tibetan Lamas for fifteen years.

This will be a 24 hour practice over these three days. \nChenrezig is renowned as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas\, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Whenever we are compassionate\, or feel love for anyone\, or for an animal or some part of the natural world\, we experience a taste of our own natural connection with Chenrezig. \nAlthough we may not be as consistently compassionate as some of the great meditation masters\, Tibetan Buddhists believe that we all share\, in our basic nature\, unconditional compassion and wisdom that is no different from what we see in Chenrezig. \nDrupchen means vast accomplishment and is a form of intensive group practice. This practice will continue night and day through these three days. Participants will be welcome to practice though the entire weekend or drop in for sessions. Preregistration will be required for meals and for overnight stays.  We will be providing more information as the time gets closer. \nThe Empowerment will be offered April 24\, Friday 9am to Noon.  Empowerment is not required to participate. \nWe also welcome volunteers and helpers for such event.

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.\nCurrently we are listening to the teachings of Garchen Rinpoche on Deity practice.\nMeditation practice can vary from week to week. Frequently we practice White Tara\, Achi\, Amitabha\, or Vajrasattva deity meditation\, using visualization and mantra as a means of concentration.\nThis practice is free and beginners are welcome.\nFollowing this practice\, we will also listen to Garchen Rinpoche’s teaching on “Essential Pith Instructions on the Accomplishment Practice of Yamataka”. This teaching was held in Tucson in December of 2010.\nGarchen Rinpoche had this to say about this practice: \n“When you are meditating on loving-kindness and compassion for all\, then you have no ego-clinging. Without ego-clinging nothing can harm you. So through Yamataka we meditate on compassion for all sentient beings and nothing – curses\, sorcery\, whatever – can harm us.\nIf you understand this then you understand all there is to know about Yamataka Practice.”\nAdditionally\, practitioners who attended this teaching have said this instruction from Garchen Rinpoche is helpful instruction for all Deity Practices.\n\n \nEvery Monday Evening \n4648 East Speedway Blvd Tucson\, Arizona 85711 (Click here for a map) \nFor More Information: Pati Stein: 465-1882 URL:https://www.drikungtucson.org/event/monday-meditation-practice-amitahba-2/ CATEGORIES:Special Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20120623T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20120624T000000 DTSTAMP:20260613T130630 CREATED:20140813T001543Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140813T001543Z UID:10000522-1340409600-1340496000@www.drikungtucson.org SUMMARY:Guru Rinpoche Drupchup with Lama Thupten Nyima DESCRIPTION:Drikung Namgyal Ling invites you to participate in a Guru Rinpoche Drupchup (mini-retreat) with Lama Thupten Nima\n“Essence of Great Bliss:\nThe Means of Accomplishing the Mind of the Guru in Whom the Sugatas and Three Roots are Gathered” \n\nThis lyrical liturgy will include traditional monastic instrumentation\, chanted recitation and torma offerings\nwith Venerable Lama Thupten Nima\, Chant Master from Gar Monastery in Tibet\,\nand current resident teacher at Garchen Institute in Chino Valley\, AZ \nSaturday & Sunday\, June 23 & 24\, 2012 \n9am to Noon: Guru Rinpoche Sadhana (practice text) Recitation \nNoon to 2 pm: Pot Luck lunch please bring a simple dish to share \n2 pm to 5 pm: Guru Rinpoche Sadhana (practice text) Recitation \n$30 suggested donation\, $10 per 3-hour session to help cover travel costs.\nYou are welcome to attend all or any sessions you wish. \nLocation: 1871 N.

Jnana sattva is a term used in tantric Buddhism to denote the true form of a deity as an aspect of enlightenment\, which is invoked at the beginning of your meditation practice. Here\, this warrior wisdom being refers to a powerful mind-set that completely remedies or purifies all negative thoughts. In other words\, it is a courageous mind that can be a primary source of peace and harmony for every sentient being. This courage characterizes a sattvika\, the combined embodiment of compassion and great wisdom. This kind of warrior has an indomitable courage that cannot be overwhelmed by disturbing emotions. We practice this sadhana\, in order to cultivate these qualities within ourselves.\n\nIf you have any further questions\, please contact Matthew at matthew@drikungkagyutucson.org or call 884-0554.\nAs a courtesy to those with allergies\, please refrain from wearing perfume.
