SUMMARY:Manjushri-Yamantaka Teaching & Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche offered his students the following advice: “What is the main reason we practice Yamantaka?  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. Country Club #36A \nFor more information\, please call Matthew Vasquez at 520-884-0554\nmvasquez333@yahoo.com

SUMMARY:Manjushri Teachings and Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Manjushri is considered a warrior wisdom being who is both noble and gentle.  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.

SUMMARY:Essential Pith Instructions of the Accomplishment (Retreat) Practice of Yamantaka
DESCRIPTION:ìWhat is the main reason we practice Yamantaka?  It is contained in the phrase\, ëLet the destructiveness of sorcerers\, their gods and protectors descend upon themselves\,í 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.”\n“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\,\nnothing can harm you.  So through Yamantaka we meditate on compassion for all sentient beings and nothing ñ curses\, sorcery or whatever ñ can harm us.  If you understand this then you understand all there is to know about Yamantaka\nretreat practice.î\nñ His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\n\nThis teaching is related to the Manjushi Yamantaka Empowerment that will be given on Friday\, December 10\, from 9am-12pm.\n\nClick here to pre-register. \nThis Yamantaka retreat text was composed by Rigdzin Chodrag Chungsang Rinpoche I (Drikung Dharmakirti) in the 15th century. Supplemental texts were written by Hlo Jedrung Orgyen Nuden Dorje in the 18th century. All texts were translated by Ari-ma  in 2007. At the request of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche\, the text is restricted for use during the Yamantaka retreat and to oral-transmission & study sessions led by senior students (it is not for sale).   \nFurther Yamantaka teachings with Lama Gabe Thubten Nyima are coming soon.  Oral-transmission of Yamantaka retreat-text & study-group with Rachel & Matthew on Wednesdays. 7-9pm\, November 17 and 24 & December 1 & 8 (please call 520-884-0554 for more information). \nNobody turned away from teachings due to financial hardship.  Please join us for lunch with Garchen Rinpoche on-site.  Tea provided.

SUMMARY:Study/Orientation Sessions - Yamantaka
DESCRIPTION:In preparation for Garchen Rinpcohe’s Manjushri Yamantaka Empowerment and Teachings at DNL on December 10th  & 11th\, there will be an oral-transmission of the Manjushri Yamantaka Accomplishment retreat text (Rigzin Chodrag/Nuden Dorje) by local sangha members – as requested by Garchen Rinpoche.  He will not be able to give the oral-transmission of the text during the teachings – due to time constraints.\nThere will be 3 sessions offered and each session will be a complete reading of the long form of the text.  If you’re interested in receiving this it is necessary to participate in only one complete oral-transmission session.  It is okay to participate in this as often as you like. Each oral transmission session requires approximately 2 & 1/2 hours to complete.  It’s recommended to allow a little extra wiggle-room time – in case the sessions run over time. \nGarchen Rinpoche has recommended that you receive the oral-transmission – if you are participating in the studying and practice of this text.  It is not required or a pre-requisite to participate in these preparatory sessions to attend the Yamanataka Empowerment or Teachings on Dec 10/11 with Garchen Rinpoche.  The oral transmission is only required if you are participating in the study/orientation group below. \nSchedule for Oral-Transmission Sessions: \n11/16 Tue.  6:30 – 9:00pm (Guru Rinpoche Day)\n11/20 Sat. 12:30 – 3:00pm\n11/24 Wed.  7:00 – 9:30pm \nStudy/Orientation Sessions (*Oral-transmission is required to participate) \n11/27 Sat. 12:30 – 2:00pm\n12/01 Wed. 7:00 – 8:30pm (Dakini Day)\n12/04 Sat. 12:30 – 2:00pm \nAll sessions will be at Rachel & Matthew’ home at 3935 N. Country Club #36A  Please call them at 884-0554 for further info.  It is not necessary to register for this – just arrive early or on time\, if you want the complete transmission.  There is no charge for this. You may bring a simple snack\, flower(s) or incense offering to share – if you like.  Dress comfortably for the 2 1/2 hour reading. \nMatthew and Rachel’s House\n3935 North Country Club Road\, #36A\nTucson\, Arizona 85716\n(Click here for a map) \nDirections (Central Tucson)\nï N on Country Club Rd past Grant\, Ft.Lowell and Prince Rds\nï Left at Racquet Club Ranch #3935\, before Tucson Racquet & Fitness\nï Pass 1st drive on right.

SUMMARY:Vajrasattva Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The retreat will be led by retreat master Drupon Rinpoche in the spacious and rolling grasslands of Sonoita\, AZ.  We will be focusing on Vajrasattva purification practice from the preliminary practices of the incomparable Drikung Kagyu. \nVajrasattva meditation is a special practice for the purification of non-virtuous causes.  Non-virtue follows us like a shadow\, life after life and becomes the source of all sufferings.  Therefore\, it is very wise to purify all non-virtues we create before they come to fruition. \nIn this purification practice we use the four powers of remorse\, resolve\, antidote and reliance.  This in-turn prepares us to progress along the path of enlightenment. \nWe are privileged to have Venerable Drupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche\,  current three-year retreat master at Garchen Institute\, to bestow the empowerment\,  teach and guide us in a retreat setting.  The retreat begins Friday at 7:00am and ends on Sunday at 5:00pm. There will be a Vajrasattva empowerment ceremony Saturday morning at 9:00am.  The empowerment is recommended but not required to participate in this retreat.
