Frequently we practice White Tara\, Achi\, Amitabha\, or Vajrasattva deity meditation\, using visualization and mantra as a means of concentration.Following the practice\, we will also listen to Garchen Rinpoche’s teaching on “Essential Pith Instructions on the Accomplishment Practice of Yamataka”.

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\nBeginners are welcome at this practice. \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-2/ CATEGORIES:Weekly Practice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20130520T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20130520T000000 DTSTAMP:20260430T021950 CREATED:20140813T001548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140813T001548Z UID:10000555-1369008000-1369008000@www.drikungtucson.org SUMMARY:Monday Meditation Practice - Varied DESCRIPTION:Every Monday we come together to listen\, contemplate\, and meditate on the Buddhist teachings.

This text has more than one hundred commentaries written in India. Since its introduction in Tibet by the 9th century\, more than twenty commentaries were written. When Tibetan Buddhism propagated worldwide\, this text became more widely read and practiced by Buddhist practitioners both in the east and west.\n\nThe text was written in simple language for easy to understand\, yet the contents are profound because they were derived from actual practices. \n\n1871 N.
