SUMMARY:White Tara Practice
DESCRIPTION:Tara Embodies the female wisdom activity of the mind.  She is often called the mother of all the Buddhas\nHis Eminence Garchen Rinpoche has taught extensively on the benefits of White Tara practice. White Tara offers peace\, prosperity\, health and long life through her enlightened activities. She is depicted with a female body that is the brilliant white of a thousand autumn moons. Her third eye in her forehead symbolizes her vision of the unity of ultimate reality while she simultaneously sees the relative and dualistic world with her other two eyes.

SUMMARY:The Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:The teachings on the Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva give practical advice on how to work with our own hearts and minds\, beginning wherever we are now\, so that we can discover our own potential for compassion\, love\, and wisdom. Bodhisattvas are those who have the courage to undertake the profound change in attitude to develop true compassion. They resolve to consider othersí needs as paramount and thus attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. They are carried beyond the limits imposed by the illusion of self and other and thus attain the direct realization of reality.\nThis special evening teaching event will be led by Khenpo Yeshi Rinpoche\, and will occur Monday and Tuesday evening from 7-9 pm.\nIf you have any further questions\, please contact Matthew at matthew@drikungkagyutucson.org or call 884-0554.\nThese sessions are free and open to the general public.\nAs a courtesy to those with allergies\, please refrain from wearing  perfume.

SUMMARY:Discovering Our Buddha Nature
DESCRIPTION:All sentient beings\, without exception have buddha nature\, the inherent purity and perfection of the mind\, untouched by changing mental states. Thus there is neither any reason for conceit in deeming oneself better than others\, nor any reason for self-contempt\, thinking of oneself as inferior and unable to reach enlightenment. This seeing is obscured by veils which are removable and do not touch the inherent purity and perfection of the nature of the mind.\nKhenpo Yeshi will be teaching from Buddha Nature\, The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra\, by by Arya Maitreya (commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye and explanations by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche).  Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the teaching.\nKhenpo Yeshi Rinpoche will teach on the fundamental discovery of our buddha nature\, and help us realize the teachings on the essence and source of buddhahood.\n\nA Lama Chopa meditation practice will precede each day’s teaching.  This one-hour practice\, let by Khenpo Yeshi\, is a complete meditation for purifying the four obscurations through receiving the four empowerments of transforming one’s body\, speech\, and mind into the pure enlightened state.\n \n\n1871 N.

SUMMARY:Public Talk: The Four Noble Truths
DESCRIPTION:In Buddhism\, the central teaching of the Buddha\, is comprised of a set of basic concepts known as The Four Noble Truths. First is the reality of suffering (Pali dukkha)\, which carries the meaning of impermanence and imperfection. Secondly\, suffering is caused by attachments\, cravings\, and desires (tanha).  Thirdly\, suffering can be extinguished by breaking our attachment to desires (nirodha). Lastly\,\nthere is the path to the ending of suffering\, through following the Eightfold Path\, which provides ways to regulate and discipline behavior.\n\nLittle Chapel of All Nations\nAda Pierce McCormick BuildingUniversity of Arizona Campus1401 East First Street\nTucson\, Arizona  85719(Click here for a map)   \nFor More Information:  Zehra Conner: 299-1083

SUMMARY:Mandala Practice: A Hands-on Approach to Ultimate Generosity
DESCRIPTION:Mandala Practice is part of the Preliminary Practices (Refuge\, Vajrasattva\, Mandala\, Guru Yoga) and focuses on generosity.  Mandala practice is a means of developing generosity by cutting through attachment and desire.In the Mandala Practice\, we visualize offering the entire universe to all the Buddhas and Bodhisatvas\, the Dharma and the Sangha. \nAll of the wealth of the universe is symbolized by the rice held in our hands. We visualize the rice as every jewel and precious stone\, and offer it (generosity) to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas\, the Dharma and the Sangha. \nDrupon Rinpoche will lead a 1 and 1/2 day teaching on the meaning and application of the Mandala\, including instruction on its creation. \n\n1871 N.

White Tara offers peace\, prosperity\, health and long life through her enlightened activities. She is depicted with a female body that is the brilliant white of a thousand autumn moons. Her third eye in her forehead symbolizes her vision of the unity of ultimate reality while she simultaneously sees the relative and dualistic world with her other two eyes. Her hands and feet also have eyes\, showing that all her actions are governed by her ultimate wisdom and compassion. She is the protective\, helpful and comforting mother who shows limitless kindness\, generosity and protection towards those who are tossed in the ocean of suffering.\n\nIf we recite her mantra and make a connection to her\, we draw closer to developing her enlightened qualities in ourselves.\n\nBring your bells and damarus!\n1st & 3rd  Wednesdays\, Every Month  \nAda Pierce McCormick BuildingUniversity of Arizona Campus1401 East First Street\nTucson\, Arizona  85719(Click here for a map)   \nFor More Information:  Zehra Conner: 299-1083

SUMMARY:Contemplation on How the Fruits of Practice are Obtained
DESCRIPTION:Based on negative emotions\, we engage in actions (karma) of body\, speech\, and mind that give rise to suffering in our lives\, just as planting a seed gives rise to fruit in the future. In Buddhism\, suffering is not seen as “punishment” for bad deeds\, but simply a natural process of cause and effect. Deeds based on attachment\, aggression and ignorance naturally give rise to suffering\, while deeds based on a mind of non-attachment\, non-aggression\, and wisdom naturally bring happiness into our lives.This process continues from one life to the next\, through the process of Rebirth. Though the body ceases to exist at death\, the mind continues into a future existence\, and carries the seeds (which ultimately bear the fruits of practice) of karma into the next life.\nThis special weekend teaching by the Venerable Nyima Gyaltsen Rinpoche will discuss how the fruits of Buddhist practice are obtained. \n\n1871 N.
