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

SUMMARY:The Prayer of Kungtuzangpo
DESCRIPTION:The Prayer of Kungtuzangpo (Tibetan)\, also known as the Primordial Buddha Samantabhadra (Sanskrit) instructs the sincere student about the View\, Meditation and Action of the Nature of Mind and how we stray from this Unchanging Goodness in our day to day lives.\nThis aspirational prayer from the Dzogchen Ati Yoga Tantras comes from Guru Rinpoche\, Padmasmbhava. It is from the 9th chapter of the Gonpa Zangthal or Northern Treasures\, a secret treasure or terma discovered in 1366 by the Great\nAwareness-Holder and terton\, Rigdzin Goden in the cave of Zangzang Lhadrak in Tibet. \n \n Benedictine Convent\n800 N.Country Club\nTucson  AZ  85716

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  \nAda Pierce McCormick BuildingUniversity of Arizona Campus1401 East First Street\nTucson\, Arizona  85719(Click here for a map)   \nFor More Information:  Ann Danowitz: 631-8727
