SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Practice
DESCRIPTION:Medicine Buddha is a profound purification practice intended to heal those suffering from ignorance\, its afflictive emotions and corresponding physical illness\, and to awaken Buddha nature. When we practice Medicine Buddha meditation\, we do not do so to replace mainstream medical treatment\, but to complement it. The practice purifies and removes the underlying karmic causes of disease and cultivates the causes for holistic well-being. \nPractice will take place weekly on Wednesdays via ZOOM at 7pm AZT. \nJoin Zoom Meeting: 
https://zoom.us/j/4152654112 [Meeting ID: 415 265 4112] \n\nPractice is free to all\n\nWe strongly encourage donating whatever amount you can to help support our new Virtual Teaching & Practice platform.\nBetter yet\, become a member of Drikung Namgyal Ling and support this practice\, the sangha\, and all future events.\n\nText for the Medicine Buddha practice can be found here: \nhttps://www.drikungtucson.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Medicine-Buddha-Sadhana-Nuden-Dorje.pdf \nYoutube recording of Drupon Thinley Ningpo’s teaching on Medicine Buddha available here:\nhttps://youtu.be/d-kym4Z1dB0

SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi Chokyi Drolma is chief Dharma Protectress of the Drikung Kagyu\, and the revered great-grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage. \nAs a protectress\, she vowed to guard the Buddha’s teachings\, and in particular the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners\, removing inner and outer obstacles to practice and laying the groundwork for progress along the path. Those who practice her meditation and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances. \nIn her right hand she holds a silver mirror in which she sees the 3 times\, and in her left\, a wish-fulfilling jewel with which she fulfills the wishes of those who earnestly pray to her. During this practice we will aspire not only to benefit all sentient beings\, to remove the obstacles of war\, disease\, and afflictive emotions\, but also to establish the Buddha-dharma and our dharma center in Tucson. \n“When Achi was born\, numerous auspicious signs\, such as flowers\, parasols\, and rainbows\, appeared in the sky\,” teaches H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. Such are her miraculous qualities\, which continue to manifest to this day. \nThis practice was written by Lord Jigten Sumgon and translated into English by Virginia Blum. \nWe encourage a participatory style of practice\, in which everyone has an opportunity to take part and to learn how to do the practice\, and beginners are welcome. \nTo join the practice via Zoom:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/4152654112 \n\n\nA Concise Daily Practice of Achi (sadhana)\nHow Achi Chokyi Drolma Acquired Her 3 Names (invocation)\nKhenchen Gyaltsen Chanting the Achi Mantra (mantra with melody)

SUMMARY:Green Tara Teachings\, Empowerment and more with Drupon Thinley Ningpo - April 22nd + 23rd
DESCRIPTION:Green Tara Teachings\, Empowerment and more \nWe’re pleased to announce  the return not only of in-person teachings but also of our beloved Drupon Thinley Ningpo to Tucson.

While only a few pages long\, it contains all of the core elements of deity practice and serves as a basis for understanding deity practice in general\,  Therefore this instruction offers a great opportunity to learn or to brush up on the fundamentals of Vajrayana Buddhist deity practice\, and how it leads to Buddhahood. \nSunday\, April 23rd\n10am-4pm PST (lunch break: 12-2)\n \n\nDrupon will offer heart teachings on the importance of establishing and maintaining a daily practice.
