SUMMARY:“Anger”\, Your Compassionate Guru with Khenmo Konchog Nyima Drolma
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to register for the weekend by Monday\, December 4th to help us with our planning. Thank you! \nThere will also be a public talk on Friday (click for more info) – no fee\, donations are welcome. \nMany are finding these chaotic times challenging. As practitioners\, life is our best teacher. Because we have mind\, we have emotions and they can and do become our guru as we apply the Dharma. Khenmo will give meditation instructions and teach from the three yanas on anger and related states of mind. She will use three sources: Buddha\, who in the sutras\, gave very specific teachings on relating to anger; Shantideva’s Courage of Patience chapter that illuminates a wise and compassionate response to understanding the sources of anger and the value of taming it and Pema Chodron’s teachings on anger from Go to the Places that Scare You. \nThis retreat will incorporate Dharma talks with group sitting and walking meditation. Every day will have two Dharma talks and several hours of Calm Abiding silent meditation. In this way\, you will be able to safely observe anger within the context of sitting meditation and directly experiment with techniques of pacification\, learning the wisdom of facing our fears and the healing balm of the Dharma. It is recommended that you come for the whole retreat as the Shantideva chapter will be woven throughout the weekend. You may come for the day only but please read the complete Shantideva Chapter on Patience so you are prepared if you miss the early talks. \nAbout Khenmo Konchog Nyima Drolma\nAbbess of Vajra Dakini Nunnery\, Khenmo Konchog Nyima Drolma has trained with the foremost spiritual teachers of our time including H.H.

Please contact Linda McCart at 614-397-3484 to make arrangements. \nBardor Tulku will bestow the empowerment of the Buddha White Dzambhala. White Dzambhala is a connected with wealth\, prosperity\, and good fortune. Empowerment 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. Engaging in the practice of White Dzambhala is said to create causes for material wealth and success\, allowing one to more effectively practice generosity to benefit other beings. \n\nSaturday October 28th \n10:00am – 12:00pm\nWhite Dzhambala Teachings \nBardor Tulku will explain the method of practicing White Dzambhala. \n12:00pm – 3:00pm: Lunch Break* \n3:00pm – 5:00pm\n1000 Arm Chenrezig Empowerment \n*Refuge is required for empowerments.

Regarding the benefits of such contemplation Khenpo Gawang states: \n“ Through contemplative practice we learn to investigate reality by looking carefully at our own mind and everyday life. Through this we transform our view-the reality that we take to be truth-and this new outlook will transform our experience of everyday life.” \nTeaching schedule (repeated both days) \n10:00am-12:00pm:  Teachings & Meditation Practice \n12:00pm-1:30pm:  Lunch* \n1:30pm-4:30pm: Teachings & Meditation Practice \n*Lunch will be provided \nFees: \n$30 per day\,  $50 for the weekend \nRegistration will be at the door beginning at 9:00am

SUMMARY:Great Drikung Phowa Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Teachings and Practices on Living and Dying \nby Venerable Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche  \n4-Day Closed Commitment Retreat  \nThis retreat will also include special teachings from Garchen Rinpoche via Skype on Friday March 24th 11:00AM. \nDownload Complete Information Here: \n[ddownload id=”4650″ text=”Great Drikung Phowa Retreat Flyer”] \nGreat Drikung Phowa Chenmo Practice  \n“The Standing Blade of Grass”  \nThe Phowa practice is the most direct and quickest method by which one may be assured of a positive rebirth and possible enlightenment at the time of death. During this retreat\, attendees will have the same opportunity of receiving and practicing the Phowa transmission and teachings as did many hundreds-of-thousands of Tibetans and other practitioners around the world. Also included in the retreat will be the Nyingma Lineage Phowa transmission that Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche received from Khenpo Munsel. \nKhenpo will explain the stages of death from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective\, including the signs that accompany each stage and techniques that allow practitioners to use the process of death as an opportunity for realization. Additionally\, Khenpo will give the transmission for Phowa (transference) this technique allows accomplished practitioners to die consciously and transfer their consciousness to the pure realm of Amitabha Buddha.  \nAfter receiving this transmission\, students engage in diligent practice until unmistakable physical signs of accomplishment occur\, the arising of these signs indicate that the practitioner will be able to successfully implement the practice at the actual time of death.  \n[dropshadowbox align=”center” effect=”lifted-both” width=”75%” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ] \nRetreatants are recommended to commit to continuous 4-days and nights at Gar Drolma.\nDaily commuting to the retreat will be permitted if all teachings and practices are attended.\nBring clothing\, toiletries\, medications\, bedding\, mats\, mattresses\, etc.\nSimple vegetarian meals will be provided.\nFee includes study and practice books.\n$200 per person/entire retreat (payment below).\n[/dropshadowbox]
