SUMMARY:Steps on the Path to Enlightenment:  Exploring the Lamrim
DESCRIPTION:The lamrim genre of Tibetan Buddhist texts is a practical and comprehensive way of organizing the Buddha’s teachings into a sequential method of practice leading to the ultimate goal of Enlightenment.  Lamrim is like a map which helps us understand how\, why and where the many different concepts and practices we may encounter fit together into a complete Buddhist path.  We know where we are\, where we’re going\, and how to get there.  It serves as a guide to our own journey\, and is itself the inner Buddhist worldview we develop in our own minds\, which aids us in overcoming the sufferings of samsara\, and in developing the ability to help others do the same.   \nThe lamrim literature originated with Atisha in the 11th century\, was spread by the early Kadampa masters at that time\, and different versions developed within all the Tibetan schools. The underlying topics are the same\, but the formats vary\, emphasizing different points and categories. Thorough grounding in the lamrim topics is the basis for all higher practices\, without which they do not lead to the intended result.  Gampopa’s classic\, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\, combines the Kadampa Lamrim tradition with Naropa’s Mahamudra tradition.  Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen calls it a critically important text to study as a foundation for the three year retreat. It is too lengthy to study in detail here within this short timeframe\, but can serve interested students as a valuable expansion on the topics covered in this series.    \nAn overview of the lamrim will be presented in a sequence of eight talks — a walk on the path through the forest\, with out every detail of each individual tree. Discussion and meditation on the topics will be included\, and time allowed for questions.  Lamrim is suitable for all levels of students.   \nThis event is free. \n================================ \nVen. Lhundub Daychen is a western Buddhist nun ordained in 1998\, who has engaged in study and practice for over 30 years\, primarily at the Deer Park Monastery and Buddhist Center near Madison\, Wisconsin\, and also at the University of Wisconsin.  She has received many teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, HE the Ganden Tri Rinpoche Lobsang Tenzin\, Geshe Lhundub Sopa Rinpoche\, Khensur Donyo Rinpoche\, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and other Gelug masters over the years\, and more recently from HE the Karmapa\, and Mingyur Rinpoche. \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo\, spiritual director for Drikung Namgyal Ling\, has asked Ven. Daychen to give these talks to help deepen our understanding of the path\, and she has graciously accepted.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Drigung Kagyü Practice Traditions of Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa with Eric Fry-Miller
DESCRIPTION:At the very heart of all the vajrayana traditions in Tibet is the Kagyü or whispered oral lineage that was transmitted by the Indian Mahasiddhas Tilopa and Naropa and then brought to Tibet by Marpa the translator. Of all the Kagyü traditions that flourished and spread from Marpa’s great yogi student Milarepa to this day\, the Drigung Kagyü presentations of Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa distill the very quintessence of the vajrayana into highly accessible sets of meditation practices. Five-Fold Mahamudra includes meditation on bodhichitta or the awakened mind\, the yidam deity\, union with the mind of the outer\, inner\, secret\, and ultimate teacher\, mahamudra\, and dedicating practice for the awakening of all beings throughout the universe. \nThe Six Yogas of Naropa consists of special methods that allow us to experience awakening directly in our own physical bodies and minds in all states of reality through learning to control our breath and subtle energy\, our deep sleep\, dreams\, waking perception\, and our minds at the time of death and beyond. These six practices are known as inner fire (Tummo)\, luminosity\, dreams\, illusory body\, phowa\, and the bardo. Together\, the methods Five-Fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa represent a complete path that can lead to complete awakening in one lifetime if properly studied and practiced. \nLed by Eric Fry-Miller\, this will be a candid discussion in modern English about what these practices of ancient India and Tibet can mean for us here in the 21st century. The goal of these talks will be to impart a clear understanding of how these practices were both practiced extensively in the past and how we might practically apply them here in our daily lives and in our meditations. \nThis event is open to all and free of charge. Donations welcome. \nSunday\, March 25th 2018\n10am-Noon and 2pm – 5pm\n—- \nEric Fry-Miller has been translating written Tibetan texts and live oral teachings by Tibetan Lamas for fifteen years. In that time he has completed a traditional three year retreat on the Drigung Kagyu practices of Five-fold Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa. He has also spent additional years in retreat focusing on the Dzogchen practices of the Nyingthig traditions.
