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: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

Achi is considered chief protectress of the Drikung Kagyu.In Achi meditation practice\, we use visualization and mantra as a means of concentration.  The practice lasts approximately an hour and a half\, and consists of opening prayers for dedicating the motivation to benefit all others\, the body of the practice using visualization (contemplation of the mental visual image) and mantra (chanted prayers).  The practice concludes with dedication prayers where\, again\, we think of our wish to benefit all other beings.\nThe prayers\, visualization\, and dedication are read from a sadhana (traditional practice text). \nThis particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineageís founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche.\nBeginners are welcome at this practice.  \n2nd & 4th  Wednesdays\, Every Month  \nPati Stein 1871 N.
