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. 

• We 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. 
• Following 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.

Note: On Dates when the Stages of Meditation Course is being taught, the Sunday Morning Practice will be suspended.
