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. Please RSVP Zehra Conner at 299-1083 if you wish to attend this event.\nPlease bring a small dish of “finger food” to share!

It is an introduction to the Madhyamika (middleway) teachings of Nargarjuna\, which are themselves a systematization of the Perfection of Wisdom literature\, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness. Chandrakirti is one of several Indian scholars whose treatises were brought to Tibet and whose realized teachings about the nature of the mind are the foundation of Tibetan Buddhist thought. Hidden in his verses are the guideposts to enlightenment. The Madhyamakavatara\, Chandrakirti’s Entering the Middle Way\, is one of the key philosophical expositions of emptiness\, and its study has been an essential part of Buddhist training in Tibet for many centuries. Though not very long\, the text contains complex and subtle arguments in a condensed form. Study of this text leads to an understanding of great compassion and how it serves as a cause for generating the mind of enlightenment(bodhichitta). This text also sets out the various levels through which one proceeds to the attainment of the completion of all ten perfections and enlightenment. \n Tucson Odd Fellows Hall 1150 N.
