Mandala practice is a means of developing generosity by cutting through attachment and desire. During Mandala Practice\, we visualize offering the entire universe to all Buddhas and Bodhisatvas\, to the Dharma and the Sangha. \nAll of the wealth of the universe is symbolized by the rice held in our hands. We visualize each grain of rice as a jewel and offer it as an act of generosity to all. \nDrupon Rinpoche Dorje will lead a 2 day teaching on the meaning and application of the Mandala\, including hands-on instruction on its creation. If you have your own mandala rings that you would like to use for practice\, please bring them. \n\n1871 N.

It is contained in the phrase\, “Let the destructiveness of sorcerers\, their gods and protectors descend upon themselves\,” which we find in the retreat text. What this means is that when you have loving kindness\, compassion and Bodhicitta\, any harm directed at you will fall back on itself. This is the root of the matter. Why does this happen? Because here your mind is clean and pure. 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 Yamantaka we meditate on compassion for all sentient beings and nothing “curses\, sorcery or whatever can harm us. If you understand this then you understand all there is to know about Yamantaka retreat practice.” \nThurs: 7-9pm Chanting the Names of Manjushri\nFri: 9-5pm Teaching on Manjushri-Yamantaka Retreat\nSat: 9-5pm Manjushri-Yamantaka Meditation\nSun: 9-4pm Manjushri-Yamantaka Meditation\nSun: 4-5:30pm Rinchen Phuntsok Smoke Offering and Tsok\nFri-Sun: 8-9am Lama Chopa (Guru Yoga) Meditation \nNote:Yamantaka Empowerment from Garchen Rinpoche is required to participate in all activities except Thursday evening and the morning Lama Chopa practice. \nLocation: 3935 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.
