SUMMARY:Mandala Offering Practice
DESCRIPTION:As Vajrayana Buddhists we diligently practice the 2-fold accumulation of merit and wisdom. To accumulate wisdom we engage in meditation to deepen our understanding of emptiness and the innate purity of all phenomena. To accumulate merit we engage the other 5 perfections\, starting with the perfection of generosity. Mandala practice combines meditation\, mantra\, and purification into a single very powerful act of generosity\, and serves as a method to accumulate merit quickly. \nWith each mandala offering we offer the entire universe\, our world and the inconceivably vast universe\, in brief\, the entirety of the glorious dharmasphere\, to all beings and to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In doing so we overcome our basic tendency toward self grasping and greed by purifying it with loving kindness and compassion. In the context of Ngondro\, or preliminary practice\, offering 111\,111 mandalas is recommended. So just as we repeatedly polish our offering rings\, we correspondingly polish the mirror of mind. \nOur beloved Drupon Thinley Ningpo will show us how to practice the mandala offering as taught in the Drikung Kagyu tradition. He will explain not only how to perform the mandala offering — the ritual materials and 37 point step-by-step process — but will also explain its inner significance\, how it builds merit\, purifies negative karma\, and ultimately blossoms as the most valuable benefit of all\, Buddhahood. \nMandala practice texts will be available to use during the teaching weekend\, and will be available for purchase in the dharma store. If you own a mandala offering set\, please bring it with you. If you do not own a mandala set\, we will provide as many simulated sets as needed\, and vats of rice to fill the mandala\, so that everyone can participate and learn the practice hands-on. \nTo pre-register for this event\, please click here. \nTeaching Fee: $75 for this weekend\, $35 for Sustaining Members and above.\nFoundational Members may attend for free.

SUMMARY:Pure View and the Nature of Reality
DESCRIPTION:Pure View is one of the most basic\, and yet easily misunderstood concepts in Buddhism. But appreciating it’s true meaning is fundamental to entering the path to enlightenment. \nThe Buddha taught that the impure view can be experienced as a pure view\, that is\, confusion can be experienced as pristine wisdom-awareness\, where wisdom-awareness is the ascertainment and understanding of the true nature of things. \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will teach us on these and other important concepts to help us gain a greater understanding and experience. \n  \nNov. 5 and 6:  10am – Noon\, 2pm to 5pm – Both days \nTeaching Fee:  $90 for the entire Weekend for non-members.  $65 for Sustaining Members or above. \nIf you would like to attend and this amount is an obstacle\, please contact us.  Work study is always available\, as well as other options. \nPati Stein 520-465-1882 \nMembership – In October 2015 we moved into our lovely Sahuarita location.  The idea of establishment of property was the wisdom of Drupon Thinley Ningpo\, Khenpo Ozer\, and Garchen Rinpoche.   Our ability to sustain this ourselves is directly dependent on the community of practitioners and attendees.  Membership and volunteerism will be essential for us to sustain the DNL Center into the future. \nPlease consider joining our membership today (click on Membership below): \nMembership

SUMMARY:Buddhism 101 -  A Deeper Understanding of the Fundamentals.
DESCRIPTION:Khenpo Yeshi \nTeacher: Khenpo Yeshi Rinpoche \nSuggested Donation: $85 for the weekend \nCan you name the 4 thoughts that turn the mind\, or describe the outer and inner preliminaries and their importance?  Whether a new student or seasoned practitioner\, clearly understanding the fundamentals of the path dispels confusion and serves as the basis for all stages of the path to enlightenment. \nIn the 11th century renowned scholar and practitioner\,  Atisha\, produced The Lam Rim\, or Stages of the Path\, a summary of thousands of disparate sutras and commentaries into a single root text\, A Lamp for the Path of Enlightenment.  In the twelfth century\, Gampopa integrated Atisha’s Lam Rim tradition with Tilopa’s Mahamudra teachings\, thereby giving birth to the famous Buddhist treatise\, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\, and the Kagyu school of Buddhism itself. \nOur beloved spiritual friend\, scholar\, and teacher\, Khenpo Yeshi\, returns to Tucson July 23rd and 24th to take us back to the beginning again\, Tibetan Buddhism 101 if you’d like. New students will find his immense wisdom and warmth a true lamp to light the path\, and long term students will have a chance to brush up the basics and gain new insights on old knowledge.  A highly trained and accomplished professor of Buddhism (Khenpo)\, and as current doctoral student at UC Berkeley\, Khenpo Yeshi teaches in English and embraces western-style classroom principles. Join us for our version of summer school\, where not only will we study the book\, The Jewel Ornament of Realization\, and engage in lively discussions\, but there will also be handouts and take-ways for all attendees. \nIf you have been looking for a way to get into Buddhism\, and start at the beginning\, this precious opportunity cannot be missed. Seasoned practitioners have the chance to test and reinforce the “study” aspect of the Buddha’s 3-fold instruction to study\, to practice and to contemplate. This year\, Khenpo’s 12th year visiting Drikung Namgyal Ling\, we will celebrate the dharma by distributing copies of all 12 years of his ultra-concise and one-of-a-kind support materials\, including: \nsingle page outline of the entire path\ncharts of the ten Bhumis\nfamous dharma quotations\nextensive bibliographies \nThe root text\, The Jewel Ornament of Realization\, will be available in the bookstore\, as well as many other texts that will be cited during the teaching. Pre-reading recommended!
