SUMMARY:Teachings by Lama Nancy
DESCRIPTION:IS EMPTINESS REALLY EMPTY? \n\n\n\n\n\nEmptiness is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Buddhist philosophy\, which is not surprising given that it cannot be fully explained in words and is counterintuitive to our normal perception of everyday reality. As the well-known description in the Heart Sutra–“Form is emptiness and emptiness is form”–suggests\, there’s a lot more to understand than\, well\, “nothing.” \nBy examining the ways in which nothing exists separately\, independently\, and permanently on its own\, we can get a better handle on this fascinating concept and begin to integrate it into our lives\, both on and off the cushion.

SUMMARY:Ngondro Practice
DESCRIPTION:This is individual practice done in a group–i.e. we are all in the same room doing our own practice at the same time. Especially designed for those doing the Ngondro (Foundation) practices of Tibetan Buddhism\, but also open to anyone who wants to do their individual chanting\, visualization\, or mantra practice in a group environment. Bring your own text and supporting materials and stay for all or part of the session.

SUMMARY:Songs of Realization
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we sing and contemplate songs of the masters together. Buddhist teachings and spiritual experiences are often communicated through songs\, such as those famously sung by the great Tibetan yogi\, Milarepa. Following the teachings of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche\, we will sing in English\, without judgment of “good” and “bad” as we try to move beyond an intellectual approach to the Dharma. As Khenpo Rinpoche sums up\, “Know this life to be like a dream\, See the mind’s unborn nature\, Aspire to be of benefit to others.”

SUMMARY:Zoom Teachings by Khenpo Chophel

Khenpo Tshering Chophel will continue his teachings on this topic. Suitable for all levels. \nZoom info: \nMeeting ID 432 235 3275\, passcode Karuna21\, \nPhone: 312 626 6799\, passcode 68957239.
