SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:About Achi Practice: There are essentially two types of Buddhist meditation practice\, Sutra and Tantra. Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice is a Tantric meditation practice. \nAchi is one of the protectors of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage\, but she protects all beings from harm. Those who practice her and recite her mantra are sure to be protected from obstacles and hindrances\, especially to Dharma practice. \nAchi practice we uses visualization and mantra to facilitate concentration. The practice lasts approximately an hour and a half\, and consists of opening prayers for setting the motivation to benefit all others\, the body of the practice using visualization and mantra\, and finally the dedication prayers where we wish to benefit all sentient beings \nThe prayers\, visualization\, and dedication are read from a sadhana (traditional practice text). This particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineage’s founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche. \nBeginners are welcome at this practice. For those starting out\, the visualization is done a little differently and we are happy to go over that with you. Please feel free to come with questions. We will answer them as best we can. For those we can’t answer\, we have many excellent teachers to which we can refer. \n* After the practice please feel free to spend time at the center\, learn more about it\, and perhaps join us in merit-earning karma yoga to benefit all beings. *

SUMMARY:Sunday Mornings at the Center
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nBy popular request we will practice Ngondro every Sunday.  Our schedule will be as follows: \n-Refuge 10 am – recitations and prostrations \n-Vajrasattva 11am – recitation\, meditation\, and purification \nIn samsara\, there are three types of suffering – suffering in the making\, the suffering of change\, and the suffering of suffering. Ones should meditate with fierce renunciation in the knowledge that the intrinsic nature of these three is like a building blazing with fire. Having established the difficulty of obtaining the freedoms and advantages\, ones should train in the ordinary preliminaries\, and then undertake them. \nThe founder to the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, Lord Jigten Sumgon stated\, “Ngondro is even more important than the higher practices.” It has also been said that sincerely practicing only Ngondro will lead to enlightenment since all mind training techniques leading to enlightenment are included within it! \nIf you have always wanted to complete the preliminaries\, but needed the support of a group\, or are new and want to deepen your understanding and commitment this Sunday practice is for you. \nBeginners are very welcome at this practice. \n* After the practice we will have an optional pot luck lunch for those who wish to enjoy the good company and quietude of the Sahuarita location. *

SUMMARY:Lama Chopa Practice & Tsok
DESCRIPTION:The  effectiveness of some practices is increased when undertaken together as a group – as Guru Rinpoche said\, “While it might be difficult for one man to move a boulder\, twenty pairs of hands can shift it with ease.”   Gathering our energy  in this way and directing it towards a specific objective can create positive results for all beings.

This particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineage’s founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche. \nBeginners are welcome at this practice. For those starting out\, the visualization is done a little differently and we are happy to go over that with you. Please feel free to come with questions. We will answer them as best we can. For those we can’t answer\, we have many excellent teachers to which we can refer. \n* After the practice we will have a quiet sit followed by a pot luck lunch for those who wish to stay and enjoy the fine company and quietude of the Sahaurita location. *

SUMMARY:Four Kayas Guru Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Four Kayas Guru Yoga\nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche\nSaturday/Sunday\, November 7/8 \nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee oers teachings on The Four Kayas Guru Yoga\, his next installment of his series of practice instructions from the four thoughts on through to the instruction on Mahamudra and pointing out instructions. Here is a description of The Four Kayas from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche: \n“In your personal practice\, you see your own body as the yidam.  You see your mind as the guru. The mind of the guru is the union of emptiness and compassion; we are connected to the guru like the beads of a mala string. \nFrom the perspective of our own practice: the mind is guru\, the body is yidam\, and speech is the dakini. The Guru is the embodiment of 3 kayas: Body = Nirmanakaya\, Speech = Sambhogakaya and Mind = Dharmakaya. Lastly\, the fourth kaya\, Svabhavikakaya signies the inseparablity of the other three kayas. \nAt first\, the guru is the embodiment of outer refuge\, The Three Jewels. Later\, the guru is the embodiment of inner refuge\, The Three Roots. Finally\, the ultimate result is the attainment of The Three Kayas.” \nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee is currently the resident Lama for Chicago Ratna Shri and is the 3 year retreat master for Garchen Institute in Chino Valley. He is known for his wisdom\, patience\, and stable kindness.

SUMMARY:Preliminaries to Buddhist Tantric Practice
DESCRIPTION:Teachings by Drupon Thinley Ningpo \n \n  \nBuddhist Tantra is also known as Vajrayana\, Tantrayana\, the Third Turning of the Wheel\, and the Two Truths Doctrine. \nExperiencing ultimate truth is said to be the purpose of all the various tantric practices in the Vajrayana.  All practices are aimed in some way at purifying the impure perception of the practitioner to allow ultimate truth to be seen.  These may be ‘preliminary practices” or the more advanced techniques of the tantric sadhana. \nThis weekend’s teaching will be in preparation for Drupon’s next visit in October 2015\, when DNL will offer Vajrasattva and Vajrayogini empowerments\, and Tummo Practice retreat. \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will once again share his knowledge and perspective with us by providing commentary on this very precious Dharma. \nSuggested Donation: $85 \nFor more information please contact: \nPati Stein 520-465-1882 \npati.c.stein@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Heart Sutra Teaching
DESCRIPTION:The Heart Sutra encompasses all Buddhist teachings\, be it Mahayana\, Madhyamaka\, Dzogchen\, Mahamudra\, or Zen. The Heart Sutra is perhaps the best loved of all Mahayana scriptures and is recited daily by Buddhists throughout Asia and around the world. \nThe Heart Sutra teachings summarize eloquently the Buddha’s second body of teachings\, the Perfection of Wisdom teachings. Though the Perfection of Wisdom teachings deal primarily with emptiness\, they are permeated by compassion as well. \nCompassion in the Heart Sutra is present in every single line of the teaching’s text. Out of compassion comes wisdom\, and both must be present to attain enlightenment. \n\nKhenpo Yeshe Rinpoche will once again share his knowledge and perspective with us by providing commentary on this very precious teaching. \n\n\nKhenpo Yeshe Rinpoche\n  \n\n\nEVENT DETAILS\nDate/Time:  Saturday & Sunday\, June 6/7\, 9am-12pm & 2pm-5pm \nSuggested Donation:  $85 for entire weekend \nFor More Information\, please contact:\nPati Stein\, 520-465-1882 or pati.c.stein@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nEvent Location:  1871 N.

SUMMARY:Chenrezig Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:  \nChenrezig Empowerment and 3-Day Drupchen Practice\nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will return April 24 through 26 for our first Drupchen! 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. Please let us know if you are interested in helping us organize this Chenrezig Drupchen event. \nMore details to follow. \nPlease call Pati 520-465-1882

SUMMARY:3-Day Chenrezig Drupchen Practice
DESCRIPTION:  \nChenrezig Empowerment and 3-Day Drupchen Practice\nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will return April 24 through 26 for our first Drupchen! 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. Please let us know if you are interested in helping us organize this Chenrezig Drupchen event. \nMore details to follow. \nPlease call Pati 520-465-1882
