SUMMARY:Lama Chopa Tsok Feast
DESCRIPTION:Among the most profound of Tibetan Buddhist ritual ceremonies is the Lama Chopa Tsok Feast Offering. It is a ceremony of prayer\, chanting\, music\, meditation and a ritual feast.  It contains all of the points of the Lamrim meditation on guru devotion\, presented in a way that directly appeals to our senses and emotions. The more devotion we have to our teacher\, the more there is the wish to make offerings to him\, and the Lama Chopa ceremony creates the opportunity for making many kinds of offering – food\, drink\, lights\, incense\, music\, and the best form of offering to the Guru\, which is the offering of practice itself; in this case the practice of doing the chanting\, visualizations and prayers of the first part of the ceremony and the meditation on the Lamrim which forms the second part of the ritual. And since the guru is the highest object of offering\, the merit created is enormous.  Please RSVP Pati Stein at 465-1882 if you wish to attend this event.Location: 1871 N.

SUMMARY:Chandrakirti's Introduction to the Middle Way
DESCRIPTION:Chandrakirti’s Madhyamakavatara (Introduction to the Middle Way) is an extremely influential text of Mahayana Buddhism. It is an introduction to the Madhyamika (middleway) teachings of Nargarjuna\, which are themselves a systematization of the Perfection of Wisdom literature\, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness.  Chandrakirti is one of several Indian scholars whose treatises were brought to Tibet and whose realized teachings about the nature of the mind are the foundation of Tibetan Buddhist thought. Hidden in his verses are the guideposts to enlightenment.  The Madhyamakavatara\, Chandrakirti’s Entering the Middle Way\, is one of the key philosophical expositions of emptiness\, and its study has been an essential part of Buddhist training in Tibet for many centuries. Though not very long\, the text contains complex and subtle arguments in a condensed form.  Study of this text leads to an understanding of great compassion and how it serves as a cause for generating the mind of enlightenment(bodhichitta). This text also sets out the various levels through which one proceeds to the attainment of the completion of all ten perfections and enlightenment.  \n 1871 N.

SUMMARY:Bardo Teaching
DESCRIPTION:The Tibetan word bardo means ìintermediate stateî or a transitional experience between one state of being and another. The study and practice of the bardo in general enables beings to enter the path of liberation\, and in particular is useful to those who fear suffering at the time of death. If one can practice the bardo\, one will experience the Dharma-as-Such without obscuration\, and the clear Mind-as-Such. Then\, one can approach the moment of death with joy and confidence.– His Holiness\, Chetsang Rinpoche. \nTraditionally\, there are six bardo states known as the bardo of this life; the bardo of meditation; the bardo of dreaming; the bardo of dying; the bardo of dharmata (after death) and the bardo of becoming (rebirth).\nWhen seen clearly\, oneís experience of the bardos present remarkable opportunities from life-through-rebirth\, to practice transforming our negative karmic propensities into virtuous ones and thereby relieve suffering. \n \n 1871 N.

SUMMARY:Sanga Meditation: Practice\, Study and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This is a monthly program of meditation\, practice\, and discussion and is a wonderful opportunity for folks who are new to Tibetan Buddhist Meditation practice\, to receive introductory meditation instruction\, guidance and support in establishing a meditation or Dharma practice in their day-to-day lives.  Veteran meditation practitioners are encouraged to come and contribute to the group meditation environment\, as well as deepen in their own practice.We will be practicing calm-abiding\, bodhicitta (awakened-heart)\, taking refuge in the three jewels\, and contemplating the four thoughts that turn the mind.

We will examine how to apply this in our daily lives\, so as to ease suffering and be a lamp unto the world.\nThe curriculum for this group has been organized by Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche and Khenchen\nKonchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche specifically for their students in Tucson. This monthly program is intended to abide by Khenpo Ozerís wishes that we come together as a sangha while he is away teaching in Tibet the next couple of years.\nThese sessions will be facilitated by fellow sangha member\, Matthew Vasquez at the request of Khenpo  Sherab Ozer Rinpoche.

SUMMARY:Calm Abiding Meditation Teaching
DESCRIPTION:ìCalm Abidingî is the foundation of all meditation practices. In Tibetan\, Calm Abiding is referred to as ìShineî (sheh-ney)\, and in Sanskrit as ìShamathaî (shah-muh-tah).

SUMMARY:The 100\,000 Songs of Milarepa
DESCRIPTION:For Tibetans\, The 100\,000 Songs of Milarepa is comparable in status to the Hindu Mahabharata and the Christian Bible. Its author\, Milarepa\, is the most well-known Dharma Practitioner of all time\, and he is revered throughout Tibet and India for his unsurpassed spiritual attainment in just one lifetime.Milarepa lived during the eleventh century as a cotton (repa)-clad yogin. He avoided the scholarly institutions of his time and wandered from village to village\, teaching and demonstrating the path to Buddhahood through his spontaneously composed songs (dohas). Everywhere he went\, crowds of people gathered to hear his sweet-sounding voice ìsinging the Dharma.î \nHis songs are filled with powerful\, crystal clear advice for practitioners as well as stories of the miraculous\, and they present immeasurable insight into the living tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and its profoundly transformative practice. \nHis Eminence Garchen Rinpocheís teachings on Milarepaís Songs are unsurpassed\, and we are grateful beyond measure for his gift of these teachings.\nLunch with His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\nIn conjunction with His Eminence Garchen Rinpocheís teachings on Milarepa on November 30\, December 1\, and December 2\, catered lunches will be held at the Benedictine Monastery for those in attendance at the teachings.\nThe cost for each luncheon is $15 per person.  Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will be available.  They will be held in the same room as the teachings\, in the back of the teaching hall.  Reservations for the lunch(es) will be on a first come\, first serve basis\, with preference given to those attending the teachings.  If you are not attending the teachings\, but would still like to attend the lunches\, please call Zehra to confirm space availability.\nPlease reserve your seat\, make your check out to Drikung Namgyal Ling\, and mail it with the form (link) below to Zehra Conner no later than November 15\, 2007.  We are striving for an exact reservation count for the caterers prior to the dates of the lunches.  If you mail your check late\, please call Zehra at 299-1083 and let her know it is on the way.\nDownload a lunch registration form for mailing by clicking here. \n \n Benedictine Convent\n800 N.Country Club\nTucson  AZ  85716
