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.

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]

SUMMARY:Sunday Morning Practice
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in January we will implement an exciting change to our long standing Sunday morning. These practices will reinforce the content presented by Khenpo during his monthly teachings and help purify the factors which prohibit us from recognizing our innate\, primordially enlightened nature.  \n\nWe will begin practicing “The Excellent Path to Enlightenment A Practice of the Preliminaries of the Fivefold Mahamudra”. This is a concise version of the tantric preliminary practices (tibetan: ngondro)  that was composed by Garchen Rinpoche and transmitted to our sangha at the conclusion of the 6 Yogas of Naropa teachings last year. This short text contains all of the main points of the path of practice in our lineage and can be recited in just a few minutes. During group practice we will recite the practice and spend a few minutes contemplating and accumulating repetitions each of the main sections of the text. \nFollowing this recitation there will be a guided meditation focusing on a topic from Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche’s Stages of Meditation curriculum. The topic of the guided meditation will change once a month following Khenpo’s teaching.\n\nNote: On Dates when the Stages of Meditation Course is being taught\, the Sunday Morning Practice will be suspended.

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.
