SUMMARY:Sunday Mornings at the Center
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nBy popular request we will practice Ngondro every Sunday.  Our schedule will be as follows: \n-Refuge 10 am – recitations and prostrations \n-Vajrasattva 11am – recitation\, meditation\, and purification \nIn samsara\, there are three types of suffering – suffering in the making\, the suffering of change\, and the suffering of suffering. Ones should meditate with fierce renunciation in the knowledge that the intrinsic nature of these three is like a building blazing with fire. Having established the difficulty of obtaining the freedoms and advantages\, ones should train in the ordinary preliminaries\, and then undertake them. \nThe founder to the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, Lord Jigten Sumgon stated\, “Ngondro is even more important than the higher practices.” It has also been said that sincerely practicing only Ngondro will lead to enlightenment since all mind training techniques leading to enlightenment are included within it! \nIf you have always wanted to complete the preliminaries\, but needed the support of a group\, or are new and want to deepen your understanding and commitment this Sunday practice is for you. \nBeginners are very welcome at this practice. \n* After the practice we will have an optional pot luck lunch for those who wish to enjoy the good company and quietude of the Sahuarita location. *

SUMMARY:Lama Chopa Practice & Tsok
DESCRIPTION:The  effectiveness of some practices is increased when undertaken together as a group – as Guru Rinpoche said\, “While it might be difficult for one man to move a boulder\, twenty pairs of hands can shift it with ease.”   Gathering our energy  in this way and directing it towards a specific objective can create positive results for all beings.

Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche \n“According to Buddhism\, individuals are masters of their own destiny.  And all living beings are believed to possess the nature of the Primordial Being Samatabadra\, the potential or seed of enlightenment\, within them.  So the future is in our own hands.

SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:About Achi Practice: There are essentially two types of Buddhist meditation practice\, Sutra and Tantra. Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice is a Tantric meditation practice. \nAchi is one of the protectors of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage\, but she protects all beings from harm. Those who practice her and recite her mantra are sure to be protected from obstacles and hindrances\, especially to Dharma practice. \nAchi practice we uses visualization and mantra to facilitate concentration. The practice lasts approximately an hour and a half\, and consists of opening prayers for setting the motivation to benefit all others\, the body of the practice using visualization and mantra\, and finally the dedication prayers where we wish to benefit all sentient beings \nThe prayers\, visualization\, and dedication are read from a sadhana (traditional practice text). This particular practice was written by Jigten Sumgon\, our lineage’s founder\, and translated in to English by Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche. \nBeginners are welcome at this practice. For those starting out\, the visualization is done a little differently and we are happy to go over that with you. Please feel free to come with questions. We will answer them as best we can. For those we can’t answer\, we have many excellent teachers to which we can refer. \n* After the practice we will have a quiet sit followed by a pot luck lunch for those who wish to stay and enjoy the fine company and quietude of the Sahaurita location. *

SUMMARY:Four Kayas Guru Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Four Kayas Guru Yoga\nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche\nSaturday/Sunday\, November 7/8 \nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee oers teachings on The Four Kayas Guru Yoga\, his next installment of his series of practice instructions from the four thoughts on through to the instruction on Mahamudra and pointing out instructions. Here is a description of The Four Kayas from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche: \n“In your personal practice\, you see your own body as the yidam.  You see your mind as the guru. The mind of the guru is the union of emptiness and compassion; we are connected to the guru like the beads of a mala string. \nFrom the perspective of our own practice: the mind is guru\, the body is yidam\, and speech is the dakini. The Guru is the embodiment of 3 kayas: Body = Nirmanakaya\, Speech = Sambhogakaya and Mind = Dharmakaya. Lastly\, the fourth kaya\, Svabhavikakaya signies the inseparablity of the other three kayas. \nAt first\, the guru is the embodiment of outer refuge\, The Three Jewels. Later\, the guru is the embodiment of inner refuge\, The Three Roots. Finally\, the ultimate result is the attainment of The Three Kayas.” \nDrupon Rinchen Dorjee is currently the resident Lama for Chicago Ratna Shri and is the 3 year retreat master for Garchen Institute in Chino Valley. He is known for his wisdom\, patience\, and stable kindness.
