SUMMARY:Ngondro Practice
DESCRIPTION:Ngondro means preliminary. This set of 3-5 practices is traditionally accomplished before one begins training in the more subtle practices of the Tantras\, Mahamudra\, or Dzogchen. While referred to as preliminary many masters have stated that Ngondro is a complete method by which one can attain enlightenment. \nOn Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. we will meet to discuss and practice the preliminaries (ngondro). All current ngondro practitioners\, regardless of the lineage you follow and version of the practice that you engage in are welcome. \nSessions will be divided into a period of discussion followed by a period of practice. Participants may practice whichever section of ngondro they are currently accumulating. Whether you are just starting your practice\, or anywhere in the midst of the process please join us for support\, encouragement and group practice. \nIf you would like to practice ngondro\, but have not received instruction\, please send an email: admin@gardrolmacourses.com to arrange a time for an individual introduction to and instructions for beginning the practice. \nThese practices are powerful and efficient methods for accumulating merit and purifying obscurations. Practically\, these trainings help develop positive\, virtuous qualities\, weaken and diminish obscurations and negative qualities\, and render the practitioner receptive to more subtle teachings.

SUMMARY:Buddha Amitabha Practice
DESCRIPTION:1st Sunday of the each month \nIn this practice one visualizes Amitabha and his retinue and recites his six syllable mantra. Through this practice we purify our obscurations and accumulate merit and wisdom while cultivating the causes for rebirth in Dewachen\, Amitabha’s pureland. \nThis is a traditional practice associated with death and dying in many Mahayana and Vajrayana buddhist traditions. \nDuring this event we will offer prayers and the lighting of candles for beings who have recently deceased and for all beings.

SUMMARY:Ngondro Practice
DESCRIPTION:Ngondro means preliminary. This set of 3-5 practices is traditionally accomplished before one begins training in the more subtle practices of the Tantras\, Mahamudra\, or Dzogchen. While referred to as preliminary many masters have stated that Ngondro is a complete method by which one can attain enlightenment. \nOn Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. we will meet to discuss and practice the preliminaries (ngondro). All current ngondro practitioners\, regardless of the lineage you follow and version of the practice that you engage in are welcome. \nSessions will be divided into a period of discussion followed by a period of practice. Participants may practice whichever section of ngondro they are currently accumulating. Whether you are just starting your practice\, or anywhere in the midst of the process please join us for support\, encouragement and group practice. \nIf you would like to practice ngondro\, but have not received instruction\, please send an email: admin@gardrolmacourses.com to arrange a time for an individual introduction to and instructions for beginning the practice. \nThese practices are powerful and efficient methods for accumulating merit and purifying obscurations. Practically\, these trainings help develop positive\, virtuous qualities\, weaken and diminish obscurations and negative qualities\, and render the practitioner receptive to more subtle teachings.

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:Ngondro Practice
DESCRIPTION:Ngondro means preliminary. This set of 3-5 practices is traditionally accomplished before one begins training in the more subtle practices of the Tantras\, Mahamudra\, or Dzogchen. While referred to as preliminary many masters have stated that Ngondro is a complete method by which one can attain enlightenment. \nOn Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. we will meet to discuss and practice the preliminaries (ngondro). All current ngondro practitioners\, regardless of the lineage you follow and version of the practice that you engage in are welcome. \nSessions will be divided into a period of discussion followed by a period of practice. Participants may practice whichever section of ngondro they are currently accumulating. Whether you are just starting your practice\, or anywhere in the midst of the process please join us for support\, encouragement and group practice. \nIf you would like to practice ngondro\, but have not received instruction\, please send an email: admin@gardrolmacourses.com to arrange a time for an individual introduction to and instructions for beginning the practice. \nThese practices are powerful and efficient methods for accumulating merit and purifying obscurations. Practically\, these trainings help develop positive\, virtuous qualities\, weaken and diminish obscurations and negative qualities\, and render the practitioner receptive to more subtle teachings.

SUMMARY:Buddha Amitabha Practice
DESCRIPTION:In this practice one visualizes Amitabha and his retinue and recites his six  syllable mantra. Through this practice we purify our obscurations and accumulate merit and wisdom while cultivating the causes for rebirth in Dewachen\, Amitabha’s pureland. This is a traditional practice associated with death and dying in many Mahayana and Vajrayana buddhist traditions. \nDuring this event we will offer prayers and the lighting of candles for beings who have recently deceased and for all beings.
