SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi Chokyi Drolma is chief Dharma Protectress of the Drikung Kagyu\, and the revered great-grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage. \nAs a protectress\, she vowed to guard the Buddha’s teachings\, and in particular the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners\, removing inner and outer obstacles to practice and laying the groundwork for progress along the path. Those who practice her meditation and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances. \nIn her right hand she holds a silver mirror in which she sees the 3 times\, and in her left\, a wish-fulfilling jewel with which she fulfills the wishes of those who earnestly pray to her. During this practice we will aspire not only to benefit all sentient beings\, to remove the obstacles of war\, disease\, and afflictive emotions\, but also to establish the Buddha-dharma and our dharma center in Tucson. \n“When Achi was born\, numerous auspicious signs\, such as flowers\, parasols\, and rainbows\, appeared in the sky\,” teaches H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. Such are her miraculous qualities\, which continue to manifest to this day. \nThis practice was written by Lord Jigten Sumgon and translated into English by Virginia Blum. \nWe encourage a participatory style of practice\, in which everyone has an opportunity to take part and to learn how to do the practice\, and beginners are welcome. \nTo join the practice via Zoom:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85718559928 \n\n\nA Concise Daily Practice of Achi (sadhana)\nMusings of a Practitioner\nWorld Peace Prayer\nTara Wartime Prayer\nHow Achi Chokyi Drolma Acquired Her 3 Names (invocation)\nKhenchen Gyaltsen Chanting the Achi Mantra (mantra with melody)

SUMMARY:Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo
DESCRIPTION:Our Beloved Drupon Thinley Ningpo \nPlease join us and our beloved teacher\, Drupon Thinley Ningpo\, for this special weekend of Bardo Teachings\, November 22nd and 23rd\, 2025 (10am-12pm + 2pm-5pm MST)\, preceded by an Amitabha empowerment on Friday\, November 21st (6:30pm-8:30pm MST). \nLINK TO ZOOM \nBardo Teaching Text [PDF] \nREGISTER for Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo \nThe term\, Bardo\, commonly refers to the transitional or “intermediate states” that occur during the period between death and rebirth. The Bardo teachings help us to understand what happens when the mind separates from the body at the time of death\, where it goes\, what to expect\, and how to prepare for the transition. \nIn a broader sense\, Bardo also refers to 6 key transitional experiences\, moments when gaps appear\, not just in the afterlife\, but also in everyday life\, including the bardos of dreaming and meditation. \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will explore these 6 Bardo states and why it’s crucial to understand them and the opportunities present in each for liberation from samsara and the cycle of suffering. \nLocation + Registration\nThe teachings will be held at Red Tree Meditation & Yoga Center in Tucson and simultaneously broadcast online via Zoom.  We strongly encourage you to attend in person. \nAll are welcome\, no previous experience necessary. \nThe suggested donation for each weekend day is $40\, or whatever amount you can donate to support this and future teachings in the Old Pueblo. Registration is not required\, and can be done on day of teachings\, but pre-registration helps us to estimate total attendance and plan accordingly:\nREGISTER for Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo

SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi Chokyi Drolma is chief Dharma Protectress of the Drikung Kagyu\, and the revered great-grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage. \nAs a protectress\, she vowed to guard the Buddha’s teachings\, and in particular the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners\, removing inner and outer obstacles to practice and laying the groundwork for progress along the path. Those who practice her meditation and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances. \nIn her right hand she holds a silver mirror in which she sees the 3 times\, and in her left\, a wish-fulfilling jewel with which she fulfills the wishes of those who earnestly pray to her. During this practice we will aspire not only to benefit all sentient beings\, to remove the obstacles of war\, disease\, and afflictive emotions\, but also to establish the Buddha-dharma and our dharma center in Tucson. \n“When Achi was born\, numerous auspicious signs\, such as flowers\, parasols\, and rainbows\, appeared in the sky\,” teaches H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. Such are her miraculous qualities\, which continue to manifest to this day. \nThis practice was written by Lord Jigten Sumgon and translated into English by Virginia Blum. \nWe encourage a participatory style of practice\, in which everyone has an opportunity to take part and to learn how to do the practice\, and beginners are welcome. \nTo join the practice via Zoom:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85718559928 \n\n\nA Concise Daily Practice of Achi (sadhana)\nMusings of a Practitioner\nWorld Peace Prayer\nTara Wartime Prayer\nHow Achi Chokyi Drolma Acquired Her 3 Names (invocation)\nKhenchen Gyaltsen Chanting the Achi Mantra (mantra with melody)
