SUMMARY:Achi Chokyi Drolma Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Achi Chokyi Drolma is chief Dharma Protectress of the Drikung Kagyu\, and the revered great-grandmother of Lord Jigten Sumgon\, founder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage. \nAs a protectress\, she vowed to guard the Buddha’s teachings\, and in particular the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners\, removing inner and outer obstacles to practice and laying the groundwork for progress along the path. Those who practice her meditation and recite her mantra are certain to be protected from obstacles and hindrances. \nIn her right hand she holds a silver mirror in which she sees the 3 times\, and in her left\, a wish-fulfilling jewel with which she fulfills the wishes of those who earnestly pray to her. During this practice we will aspire not only to benefit all sentient beings\, to remove the obstacles of war\, disease\, and afflictive emotions\, but also to establish the Buddha-dharma and our dharma center in Tucson. \n“When Achi was born\, numerous auspicious signs\, such as flowers\, parasols\, and rainbows\, appeared in the sky\,” teaches H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. Such are her miraculous qualities\, which continue to manifest to this day. \nThis practice was written by Lord Jigten Sumgon and translated into English by Virginia Blum. \nWe encourage a participatory style of practice\, in which everyone has an opportunity to take part and to learn how to do the practice\, and beginners are welcome. \nTo join the practice via Zoom:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85718559928 \n\n\nA Concise Daily Practice of Achi (sadhana)\nMusings of a Practitioner\nWorld Peace Prayer\nTara Wartime Prayer\nHow Achi Chokyi Drolma Acquired Her 3 Names (invocation)\nKhenchen Gyaltsen Chanting the Achi Mantra (mantra with melody)

SUMMARY:Impermanence Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo
DESCRIPTION:The link to both register and to join the teaching is freely available HERE. \nAs accelerated change at all levels of our earthly existence overcomes us during these times\, we are relentlessly reminded of Law of Impermance.  \nIt is the number one inescapable\, and essentially painful\, fact of life. It is the singular existential problem that the whole edifice of Buddhist practice is meant to address. To understand impermanence at the deepest possible level\, and to merge with it fully\, is the whole of the Buddhist path. \nOn November 7th and 8th\, 2020\, Drupon Thinley Ningpo will teach us how to understand this fundamental law in the context of the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Dharma.  \nThis teaching will be conducted on Zoom. If you do not have an account on Zoom\, we highly recommend that you navigate to zoom.us and sign up for a free account. You may download the Zoom application to a Mac or PC\, or the Zoom app to your tablet or smartphone. \nUpcoming Drikung Kagyu Events: \n\nDecember 13\, 20\, 27: Drupon Thinley Ningpo teaches “Calling the Lama from Afar”\n\nDecember  28 – January 3rd\, 2021: Garchen Buddhist Institute  “Namgyalma Long Life Offering for H.E. Garchen Rinpoche”\n\nLink to both register and  join the teachings on November 7th & 8th\, 2020 \nThe link to both register and to join the teaching is freely available HERE\nHowever your generosity is essential to make these virtual teachings possible.  \n\nWe strongly encourage donating whatever amount you can to help support our new Virtual Teaching platform.\nBetter yet\, become a member of Drikung Namgyal Ling to support this teaching\, the dharma center\, and all future events.\n\nThis same link will be used to join the Zoom sessions on both Saturday Nov. 7\, and Sunday\, Nov.8.  \nDaily Schedule: 10am – 12pm & 2pm – 4pm MST \nFor More Information on this Event:\nquestions@drikungtucson.org \nSince this is an auspicious weekend\, we will ask Drupon to celebrate Lhabab Duchen with us. \nMay contemplating and meditation on these truths benefit all sentient beings who are suffering now.

SUMMARY:The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena - Part 4 (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena – Part 4 (virtual)\nWith Khenpo Yeshi\nSaturday-Sunday\, August 22nd and 23rd\, 2020 \nKhenpo Yeshi returns for the 15th straight year\, but this time via the internet\, for our first virtual teaching. The link to join the teaching will be available to all students for free\, although we strongly encourage donating whatever amount you can or better yet\, becoming a member of Drikung Namgyal Ling and support this teaching\, the dharma center\, and all future events. \nThis time\, Part 4 of our journey into Longchen Rabjam’s famous treatise\, The Chö Ying Dzöd\, The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena and its accompanying commentary\, we will explore the final chapters. By elucidating this text\, Khenpo Yeshi simultaneously introduces us to the work’s essential instruction on the profound Dzogchen practice of Trekchö or “cutting through.” \nWhat do we cut through? Conceptual delusion. In the context of Dzogchen\, we cut through the flimsy fantasy world of self-grasping and we do so swiftly\, emboldened by the simple recognition of the innate incorruptibility of our own primordial awareness or Buddha Nature. \nAs dharma students in 2020 we can celebrate the auspicious good fortune of this masterpiece having been translated into English\, and the special insight of Khenpo Yeshi. A scholar in both Tibetan and English languages\, Khenpo Yeshi has received extensive trainings\, both academic and spiritual\, too numerous to list here\, and completed three-year meditative retreat under the guidance of the renowned Dzogchen master\, H.E. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. He currently lives in California and attends Berkeley as a PhD student. \nThis teaching represents the fourth installment of a multi-year series\, each year traversing a few more chapters. Please join us as we explore this cycle of Dzogchen teachings with Khenpo Yeshi at Drikung Namgyal Ling. \nTwo days of teaching \n\nThe link to join the teaching will be available to all students for free.\nWe strongly encourage donating whatever amount you can.\nBetter yet\, become a member of Drikung Namgyal Ling and support this teaching\, the dharma center\, and all future events.\nRegister for The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena – Part 4 (virtual).\nView and download Basic Space of Phenomena (PDF)\nView and download\, Longchen Nyingtik Ngöndro (PDF)\, which we will use for opening and closing prayers.\n\nDaily Schedule (August 22nd and 23rd\, 2020): \n\n10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm\n\n  \n\nFor More Information on this Event: \n\nBrennan Washburn\n(520)977-2136\nbrennan@drikungtucson.org \n
