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.\n \nSunday\, December 11\, 4:30 pm\n \nPati Stein\n1871 N.

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.\nPlease RSVP Pati Stein at 465-1882 if you wish to attend this event.

Together with generating Bodhichitta\, it forms the foundation for accomplishing the level of complete enlightenment and the source of all that is positive in existence and peace. \n Prostration (in the Tibetan spiritual sense) signifies respect and compassion for all sentient beings. It helps purify one’s negative past and present karma and creates positive merit. When one practices prostrations\, they lose nothing but their ego attachment. The bigger the ego – the more suffering. The lesser the ego – the less suffering one has. \nThe Venerable Traga Rinpoche from Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley Arizona\, will be providing instruction on refuge and prostration practice in this two-day teaching. \n\n St. Markís Presbyterian Church 3809 East 3rd Street Tucson\, Arizona 85716 (Click here for a map) URL:https://www.drikungtucson.org/event/refuge-and-prostration-practice-instruction-2/ CATEGORIES:Dharma Teaching END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20060207T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20060207T000000 DTSTAMP:20260428T180532 CREATED:20140813T001502Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140813T001502Z UID:10000005-1139270400-1139270400@www.drikungtucson.org SUMMARY:Achi Practice DESCRIPTION:Achi was the grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, who founded the Drikung Kagyu Lineage.
