SUMMARY:Natural Liberation: Padmasambhava's Teachings on the Six Bardos
DESCRIPTION:Event Day and TimesFridays 6/5 and 6/12\, 7-9pm\, and Saturdays/Sundays\, 6/6-7 and 6/13-14\, 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.\nThis event continues from Traga Rinpoche’s prior teachings in January/February 2009.\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.

SUMMARY:Achi Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi Chokyi Droma was the grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, who founded the Drikung Kagyu Lineage.  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.

SUMMARY:Lama Chopa (Guru Yoga) Tsok Feast
DESCRIPTION:The Jewel Ornament of Liberation teachings will be followed by a Lama Chopa (Guru Yoga) TsokñFeast on Wednesday\, 7/15\, from 7-9pm*.* Please bring a very small food offering of nuts\, fruit\, crackers\, cookies\, etc.\n \n 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. \n\n\nDirections (Central Tucson)\nï N on Country Club Rd past Grant\, Ft.Lowell and Prince Rds\nï Left at Racquet Club Ranch #3935\, before Tucson Racquet & Fitness\nï Pass 1st drive on right.

SUMMARY:Guru Yoga and Permissions & Prohibitions Teaching
DESCRIPTION:“A Guru Yoga that Brings the Dharmakaya onto the Path\,î is a practice of profound meaning and rich with blessing for the modern regular practitioner with limited time. The practice of guru yoga\, merging with the mind of the master\, lies at the very heart of the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition.\n“The practice of guru yoga\, merging with the mind of the master\, lies at the very heart of the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition of Tibet. Through the guru yoga practice\, all obstacles can be removed and all blessings received. With the help of the outer teacher\, we can discover the inner teacher\, the true nature of our own mind. If we wish to progress towards enlightenment\, we need the guidance of a qualified master\, while we seek to rid ourselves of ignorance and free ourselves from the tyranny of ego. The hallmark of the guru yoga practice\, in fact the very practice itself\, is a lucid\, pure and intelligent devotion.”\n\nìPermissions and Prohibitions: Their Mode of Abidingî gives pith advice on ìwhat is to be practiced and what is not\, in accordance with causalityís mode of abiding.î Khenchen Gyaltsen wrote this text on July 4\, 2008\, at Drigung Drenshe Ling in Germany\, and will be providing commentary on its meaning.\n\nKhenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche will be returning to his students in Tucson. It is very rare to meet a Lama with such extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and such profound meditation experience. In addition\, Rinpoche’s complete fluency in English makes him exceptionally capable of communicating the profound meaning of the teachings. \n \n Benedictine Convent\n800 N.Country Club\nTucson  AZ  85716

SUMMARY:Achi Empowerment and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi is one of the protectors of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage\, but she actually protects all beings from harm.   Achi was the grandmother of Lod Jigten Sumgon\, the founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.  She is like a mother\, who loves her students fiercely and will do anything to protect them – so that the Dharma\, especially the Drikung Kagyu – will flourish. \nAchi’s blessing are said to be extremely quick and her practice is done daily in virtually every Drikung Lineage monastery both inside and outside of Tibet.   Individuals who practice Achi and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances\, especially hindrances to their Dharma practice. \nAn Empowerment is offered on Saturday\, Sept 26th\, followed by practice sessions for the rest of the week end.  This particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineageís founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche. \n\n1871 N.

SUMMARY:Progressing Along the Path - Refuge Teachings
DESCRIPTION:Refuge is considered the foundation of the path to liberation\, the basis of all vows\, the source of all enlightened qualities and the point of differentiation between buddhists and non-buddhists. 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. \nRefuge is one of the preliminaries to Mahamudra practice and is the second in a series of teachings from Drupon Rinchen Dorje.  Drupon Dorje will be teaching Refuge from the Jewel Ornament of Liberation. This teaching is open to all levels of practitioners and beginners are welcome. \nOur own Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche has encouraged us to seek guidance from Drupon Dorje with respect to Mahamudra practice and Drupon Dorje has graciously agreed to teach the stages of the path. † \n\n1871 N.

SUMMARY:Shitro Empowerment\, Lung & Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Shitro translates as peaceful and wrathful deities and is associated with purification of the skandhas or aggregates of form\, perception\, feeling\, mental formations and consciousness. At the moment of our death these aggregates dissolve into their pure and impure qualities\, and may be experienced as dream-like imagery or visions. \nIn the practice of Shitro\, we learn to recognize this\, so that as we transmigrate through the intermediate state after death\, weíre not propelled by karmic propensities into lower rebirths. Rather\, weíre able to abide in the Nature of Mind. This journey of compounded and uncompounded awareness is the central theme in the Prayer of Kungtuzangpo.\n\nThis Shitro Empowerment\, Lung\, and Teaching will be held on Friday afternoon\, 12/4 from 2-6pm at the Benedictine Convent.  This event is associated with the following weekend’s teaching on the Prayer of Kungtuzangpo.\n\n \n Benedictine Convent\n800 N.Country Club\nTucson  AZ  85716
