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.

SUMMARY:Heart Sutra
DESCRIPTION:Heart Sutra\nThe Heart Sutra is the most frequently used and recited text in Mahayana Buddhism in countries throughout Asia. It is a condensation of the Perfection of Wisdom (or Projnaparamita Sutras) from the Buddha’s second turning of the wheel of dharma. Through the words of the Buddha of Compassion\, Avalokiteshvara (Tib: Chenrezig)\, we are introduced to a description of the nature of reality that cuts through our usual conceptual framework. Ultimately\, it is a roadmap to realizing the wisdom aspect of enlightenment\, frequently described as the union of wisdom and compassion—and embodied by Avalokiteshvara. \nSchedule \nSaturday\, December 28\, 2019 \n10:00 – Noon: Teachings\nNoon – 1:30pm: Lunch *\n1:30pm – 4:30pm: Teachings Continued \nSunday\, December 29\, 2019 \n10:00 – Noon: Teachings\nNoon – 1:30pm: Lunch *\n1:30pm – 4:30pm: Teachings Continued\n*Lunch is included and will be served in the lower level.

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:Book Discussion following Phowa Practice
DESCRIPTION:We will be discussing Mind Beyond Death by Dzogchen Ponlop after our monthly Phowa practice to gain deeper insight into the human experience at death and beyond. Our mo‌n‌t‌h‌ly Great Drikung Phowa Chenmo practice will continue every ‌th‌ir‌d S‌un‌‌day from no‌on—1:00 p.m‌. with the book discussion running from 1‌:00—2‌:00 p.m.‌ \nKhenpo Samdup Rinpoche has requested that only those who have received the Phowa transmission from a teacher attend this special practice. However\, the book discussion is open to all who wish to attend. Mind Beyond Death will be available in our bookstore. \n  \nOptions for those who have not yet received the Phowa transmission. \nThis popular practice helps assure a more positive rebirth\, or possibly even attainment of Amitabha Pureland\, at the time of death. If you are interested in this practice\, but do not have the transmission yet\, here’s what you can do now: \n\nContact us at info@gardrolma.org to meet with Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche to receive the instructions when possible or sign up for the next Phowa retreat held at Gar Drolma. You will be notified when it occurs.\nAttend our monthly Amitabha practice ‌the first S‌un‌day ‌of every month from no‌on—1:‌00 p.m‌.\nSubmit names to be added to our book of those remembered at our monthly Amitabha & Phowa practices. Merit of these practices will be dedicated in their honor.

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.

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.
