Dear Dharma Friends,
This week, at the center and online we have Wednesday evening Manjushri practice, Saturday Vajrasattva practice, and Sunday Achi Chokyi Drolma practice. Tuesday evening Beginner’s Buddhism is paused this week.
The new center is located at 1660 Lincoln Way, White Oak, PA 15131
From Garchen Buddhist Institute:
Dear Worldwide Sangha,
It’s an auspicious and joyful time, as H.E. Garchen Rinpoche is well enough to be moving around the Institute grounds and sit on his throne. All encouraging signs of his recovery.
We are extremely grateful to Rinpoche’s medical team, whose unwavering care, skill, and compassion continue to provide him with every possible support throughout his recovery.
May all auspicious conditions continue to gather. May Rinpoche’s health and long life increase, and may his precious presence continue to illuminate the path of Dharma and bring immeasurable benefit and liberation to countless beings!
Wednesday, September 16, 7pm EST. Manjushri practice. Online and in person. Manjushri is the embodiment of perfect wisdom. He is often depicted as wielding a flaming sword in the right hand which cuts through ignorance, attachment, and delusion, and holding in the left hand a lotus flower containing the
Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the Sutra of the Perfection of (Transcendent) Wisdom.
Ven. Lobpon Lama Kalsang will lead.
Join us on Zoom.
Saturday, September 19, 10am EST. Vajrasattva practice. Online and in person. This is a foundational and ongoing training to purify our negative actions, mental disturbances, harmful tendencies and mistaken views by invoking the yidam Vajrasattva in a meditative visualization practice.
Join us on Zoom.
Sunday, September 20, 10am EST. Achi Chokyi Drolma practice. Online and in person.
Achi, which means “Grandmother” in Tibetan, is revered as the great female dharma protector of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners.
Join us on Zoom.
