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.

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:Buddhist and Western Concepts Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Gar Drolma for the continuing study group; Buddhist and Western Concepts Study Group.  The group will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  \nThe discussions will include reflecting on Buddhist and Western philosophical thinking about the mind\, reviewing neurophysiological evidence concerning the body and mind\, and discussing recent theories and ideas from physics. We will provide web links each month that provide relevant background information on the topics to be discussed to make it easier for everyone to participate in the discussion. \nThe principal focus of the group is to attempt to reconcile Buddhist ideas and concepts about the body\, mind\, and universe with Western knowledge.  Discussion topics for the meetings are provided below.  \nWhat is a klesha?     \n\nPhoto Credit: Elephant Journal \nKleshas are mental states that cloud the mind and manifest as unwholesome thoughts and actions. Classical Buddhist kleshas include attachment\, aversion\, pride\, ignorance\, and jealously. Modern lists of kleshas can include additional states such as anxiety\, fear\, anger and depression. \nWe all know kleshas are something that we have to get rid of\, or overcome\, but how do they operate in our minds? Suppose kleshas are habitual patterns of thought\, or habitual ways or reacting to the world.  We seem to go through the day telling ourselves stories in which we interpret events in terms of our own beliefs and values. This may be the process through which kleshas act: Our interpretations generate thoughts that in turn produce habitual responses to the situations we encounter. \nWe also seem to consume music\, TV\, movies\, etc. that support our preferred stories and thought processes (see Eli Pariser “filter bubbles” link below).  Are we strengthening kleshas when we listen to “our” music\, or watch “our” TV shows?  If so\, advancing on the path might require cutting through these stories and transmuting the energy associated with them into mindful awareness.

In some Western psychological approaches\, the mind is perceived as consisting of complexes that are emotionally toned patterns of reactions centered around interconnected memories\, emotions\, perceptions\, and desires. These patterns are formed by an individual’s reactions to experiences. Complexes become active when situations are encountered that are similar to the situations that initially created the complex. Complexes manifest as habitual thought and behavioral patterns of activity. In this way\, they seem very similar to kleshas. \nIn the next meeting we will discuss kleshas and complexes. We will compare their similarities and differences\, and examine ways to overcome them. \n

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.
