Manjushri Jnanasattva with Lama Thubten Nyima (Gape Lama)\nManjushri 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.

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.

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.

The practice of Sutra Mahamudra essentially involves the study and contemplation of particular texts\, followed by meditation.\nWe contemplate the teachings on emptiness or shunyata\,as well as the teachings on buddha nature – our fundamental wakefulness. Through this process\, we discover the heart of enlightenment.\nPlease bring: The Jewel Ornament of Liberation (Gampopa)\, Buddha Nature\, Uttaratantra Shastra (Maitreya) and Introduction to the Middleway\, Madhyamakavatara (Chandrakirti). It is not necessary to purchase these texts to participate in these teachings. These books however are available in our bookstore or you may share some of our libraryís loaner copies. \nLocation:\nMatthew and Rachel’s House\n3935 N.
