SUMMARY:Radically Happy: A User's guide to the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Phakchok Rinpoche and Erric Solomon will introduce us to their new book\,  Radically Happy: A User’s guide to the Mind\n \n\n\n\nUPDATE: We have just learned that Phakchok Rinpoche will not be able to attend the talk in Yellow Springs this evening (10/29). Unfortunately a close family member of his is critically ill and in the hospital\, thus Rinpoche needs to be present with them now. He was not able to attend the talks in San Francisco\, Chicago and Michigan as well.  However\, his coauthor Erric Solomon did give the Radically Happy talks in those cities and will also speak here in Yellow Springs t‌oni‌gh‌t. ‌ We look forward to seeing you at the talk.\n\n\n\n\n\nEast meets West in this fresh\, modern take on a timeless challenge: how to find contentment and meaning in life. \nIn Radically Happy\, a meditating Silicon Valley entrepreneur teams up with a young\, insightful\, and traditionally educated Tibetan Rinpoche. Together they present a path to radical happiness—a sense of well-being that you can access anytime but especially when life is challenging. Using mindfulness techniques and accessible meditations\, personal stories and scientific studies\, you’ll get to know your own mind and experience how a slight shift in your perspective can create a radical shift in your life.  \nInstructors\n\n  \nQUOTES: \n“Radically Happy brings the new and the old together in a beautiful way. The combination helps us understand how meditation\, kindness\, and wisdom can make a real difference\, moment to moment in daily life.”   – Yongey Mingyur Rinpcohe \nPraise for Radically Happy: \n“Meditators or not\, we all need an easy-to-use\, pragmatic operator’s manual for the mind. You’ve found it here.”   – Daniel Goleman and Tara Bennett-Goleman \n  \n[ddownload id=”7369″ text=”Download a Flyer”]

SUMMARY:The Great Nyingma and Kagyu Master Bardor Tulku
DESCRIPTION:October 11- 13\, 2019\n[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#eddede” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]PLEASE SCROLL DOWN PAGE FOR REGISTRATION FORM.[/dropshadowbox] \nDzambhala Empowerment and Lojong 7-Point Mind Training\nGar Drolma is privileged to welcome back Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, a beloved master of the Nyingma & Kagyu traditions who has a deep friendship and spiritual connection with H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. \nRegistration is now open. Please scroll to the bottom of this page.\n \n$50-100 per day\n$150-300 for full weekend \nFees are on a sliding scale to accommodate all who would like to attend. \nDzambhala Empowerment –  Friday October 11th : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nDzambhala is the embodiment of the perfect generosity of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The practice of Dzambhala helps to increase prosperity and remove the suffering of poverty so that practitioners can pursue the dharma with a peaceful mind.  \nEmpowerment is a beautiful ritual that introduces participants to their true nature as enlightened body\, speech\, and mind. This introduction connects participants with their primordially enlightened nature and grants permission for developing the connection via the methods of visualization\, mantra recitation\, and meditation.  \nRefuge is required for empowerments. Rinpoche will give the refuge vow before the empowerment if there are people who would like to receive it or if you are interested in the empowerment but have not taken refuge. Please contact Linda McCart at 614-397-3484 to make arrangements. \nLojong: 7-Point Mind Training – Saturday October 12 and Sunday October 13\nMake the Practice of Compassion a Part of Your Daily Life. \nBardor Tulku Rinpoche will present the special system of practice known as Lojong: 7-Point Mind Training which traces back to the 11th century Indian Scholar\, Atisha. Lojong brings together key practices of the Mahayana path to develop the ultimate level of compassion\, or bodhicitta\, as well as to gain insight into the true nature of mind. This path also provides methods you can practice in your daily life\, including transforming negative circumstances into insights that lead to wisdom and taking on the suffering of others through the practice of Tonglen.
