SUMMARY:The Fivefold Path of Mahamudra
DESCRIPTION:Drupon Trinley Yeshi Rinpoche \nThe Fivefold Path of Mahamudra includes the cultivation of bodhicitta\, guru yoga practice\, yidam practice\, Mahamudra practice\, and the dedication of merit. This is a special way of laying out the path of practice according to the Drikung Kagyu lineage.\n\nIt is especially good fortune to receive these teachings from Drupon Yeshi Rinpoche\, because he holds this lineage purely. He received it directly from one of the main Drikung Kagyu lineage holders\, Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche\, and as well as from Drubwang Tenzin Nyima\, the main lineage holders of the Fivefold Path of Mahamudra. To receive the direct transmission of these teachings from Drupon Yeshi Rinpoche is thus a very rare and precious opportunity. \nThis practice lineage possesses truly great blessings. As a lineage is passed from master to disciple\, it is actually the practice lineage that is passed on\, which means the master must first have attained complete experience and realization in the practice. He or she then passes it on to a disciple\, who must then himself or herself gain the same experience and realization. Thus it is passed on\, creating a very pure lineage of great blessings.\n\nH.E. Garchen Rinpoche has said about Drupon Yeshi Rinpoche: “He is an inconceivable\, extraordinary master\, truly upholding the teachings of the Drikung Kagyu. He is a true\, authentic\, qualified spiritual master\, and you should make a dedicated effort to come and receive his teachings. You should take this opportunity to ask him questions about your practice\, for it is very\, very rare.”\n\nThis teaching will take place Friday evening from 7-9pm\, Saturday 9am-12pm and 2-5pm\, and Sunday 9am-12pm.\nTraditional Tibetan Healing\nFrom 2-5pm on Sunday\, Drupon Rinpoche will bestow a Traditional Tibetan Healing to those who wish it.  This tradition is believed to bestow blessings and remove obstacle to good health and happiness.  To help us plan better\, please let us know you’ll be attending.  Contact Pati at 465-1882. \n\nDates/Times:\nFriday\, July 19\, 7-9pm\nSaturday\, July 20\, 9am-12pm & 2-5pm\nSunday\, July 21\, 9am-12pm\n\nTraditional Tibetan Healing\nSunday\, July 21\, 2-5pm\nSuggested Donation:\n$85 for the weekend.\nLocation:\n1871 N.
