SUMMARY:Renunciation
DESCRIPTION:Most broadly\, renunciation can be understood as a letting go of whatever binds us to ignorance and su ering. The Buddha taught that genuine renunciation requires thoroughly perceiving how we make ourselves unhappy by grasping and greediness. When we can let go of such things it is liberating. The Buddha said\, “If\, by forsaking a limited ease\, he would see an abundance of ease\, the enlightened man would forsake the limited ease for the sake of the abundant.” (Dhammapada\, verse 290). \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will provide teachings and advice on attaining renunciation\, or liberation from ignorance and su ering. We hope you can join us for this one day event. \nTeaching Fee: $50 for this one day teaching\, $25 for Sustaining Members and above. Foundational Members may attend for free.

SUMMARY:Sunday Mornings at the Center
DESCRIPTION:Drupon Thinely Ningpo \nFor this special Sunday\, Drupon Thinley Ningpo will join us for Ngondro session for the AM and afternoon session.  Our schedule will be as follows: \n-Refuge in English 10 am – recitations and prostrations \n-Vajrasattva in English 11am – recitation\, meditation\, and purification \n– Lunch Break – 12 to 1pm please bring your own sack lunch \n-Refuge in Tibetan chant 1pm \n-Vajrasattva in TibetanChant 2pm \nFor those of us who are completing Ngondro\, have a love for these practices\, or have questions or curiousity about these preliminaries\, this Sunday is a special opportunity to do the practice along side this excellent retreat master and to ask questions. \nIn samsara\, there are three types of suffering – suffering in the making\, the suffering of change\, and the suffering of suffering. Ones should meditate with fierce renunciation in the knowledge that the intrinsic nature of these three is like a building blazing with fire. Having established the difficulty of obtaining the freedoms and advantages\, ones should train in the ordinary preliminaries\, and then undertake them. \nThe founder to the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, Lord Jigten Sumgon stated\, “Ngondro is even more important than the higher practices.” It has also been said that sincerely practicing only Ngondro will lead to enlightenment since all mind training techniques leading to enlightenment are included within it! \nIf you have always wanted to complete the preliminaries\, but needed the support of a group\, or are new and want to deepen your understanding and commitment this Sunday practice is for you. \nBeginners are very welcome at this practice.
