SUMMARY:Manjushri Yamantaka Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:ìWhat is the main reason we practice Yamantaka?  It is contained in the phrase\, ëLet the destructiveness of sorcerers\, their gods and protectors descend upon themselves\,í which we find in the retreat text.  What this means is that when you have loving kindness\, compassion and Bodhicitta\, any harm directed at you will fall back on itself.  This is the root of the matter.  \nWhy does this happen?  Because here your mind is clean and pure. When you are meditating on loving-kindness and compassion for all\, then you have no ego-clinging.  Without ego-clinging\,\nnothing can harm you.  So through Yamantaka we meditate on compassion for all sentient beings and nothing ñ curses\, sorcery or whatever ñ can harm us.  If you understand this then you understand all there is to know about Yamantaka\nretreat practice.î\nñ His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\n\nThis Empowerment will be followed by a teaching of the Essential Pith Instructions of Accomplishment Practice of Yamantaka.\n\nClick here to pre-register.\n\nThis Yamantaka retreat text was composed by Rigdzin Chodrag Chungsang Rinpoche I (Drikung Dharmakirti) in the 15th century. Supplemental texts were written by Hlo Jedrung Orgyen Nuden Dorje in the 18th century. All texts were translated by Ari-ma  in 2007. At the request of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche\, the text is restricted for use during the Yamantaka retreat and to oral-transmission & study sessions led by senior students (it is not for sale).   \nFurther Yamantaka teachings with Lama Gabe Thubten Nyima are coming soon.  Oral-transmission of Yamantaka retreat-text & study-group with Rachel & Matthew on Wednesdays. 7-9pm\, November 17 and 24 & December 1 & 8 (please call 520-884-0554 for more information). \nNobody turned away from teachings due to financial hardship.
