SUMMARY:The Four Thoughts That Turn The Mind
DESCRIPTION:The Four Thoughts That Turn the Mind is the fundamental basis of all Buddhist practice.\nThe first thought – our reflection on precious human birth\, gives us insight into the great fortune of our human incarnation and the opportunity it provides to study and practice the Dharma.Secondly\, impermanence and the inevitability of death help us to appreciate that this unique opportunity is transient and therefore especially precious.\nThirdly\, karma and its effects govern our lives and rebirth.\nLastly\, the pervasiveness of suffering in samsara (this existence) is a fundamental truth that we must all grasp in order to spiritually grow and ultimately gain enlightenment.\n\nDrupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche is visiting us from Chicago Ratna Shri\, and will deliver a precious two-day teaching on The Four Thoughts That Turn The Mind.\n \n\n1871 N.

SUMMARY:Natural Liberation: Padmasambhava's Teachings on the Six Bardos
DESCRIPTION:Event Day and TimesFridays\, 1/30 and 2/6\, 7-9pm\nSaturdays/Sundays\, 1/31-2/1 and 2/7-8\, 9am-5pm \nNatural Liberation\, Padmasambhava’s Teachings on the Six Bardos provide extensive instruction on each of the six transitional processes\, or bardos\, that make up our experience in samsara.\nThese teachings contain methods for naturally\, or spontaneously\, liberating ourselves from the sufferings that are inherent in each of the six realms so we can obtain ultimate liberation.\n\n“The transitional process from the time we are born until the time we die is crucial in determining whether we will go up or down.”\n“With a human incarnation\, we possess greater power than other beings to bring about good\, but also greater power to bring about bad. We have the ability to know and to understand\, and we must make best use of the favorable conditions of a human incarnation.”\n“We must not meaninglessly waste this opportunity. If we conduct ourselves well in\nour life\, then later\, as we approach death (in the Bardo)\, and in our next life\, we will go further and further up.  There is no doubt about this.”\n“Otherwise\, we will suffer great fear and pain as we die\, our minds will suffer agony and despair\, and (due to our ignorance) we will not recognize the Bardo of Becoming. The purpose of the Six Bardos teachings is to profoundly move us to engage in practice during the Bardo of Living.”\nTraga Rinpoche\n\nOf all the methods taught by Buddha Shakyamuni to achieve enlightenment\, the methods of Mahamudra and Dzogchen provide us the most profound view – that of the mind’s true nature.  Traga Rinpoche will also present an overview of these two methods and clarify for us the differences and similarities inherent in them.\n\nAn excellent book on these teachings is Natural Liberation: Padmasambhava’s Teachings on the Six Bardos\, with commentary by Gyatrul Rinpoche and translation by B. Alan Wallace (Wisdom Publications\, 1997).\n\nWe are once again very fortunate to be receiving these profound teachings from The Venerable Traga Rinpoche.\n \n\n1871 N.
