Friday Night Lecture: Purification Practice in Daily Life
Friday Night Lecture: Purification Practice in Daily Life
December 6, 2024 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Buddha taught that all our past virtuous actions lead to happiness and all our past negative actions lead to suffering. Through the kindness of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of Purification, we have the opportunity to overcome our negative actions (or karma) by sincerely applying the four opponent powers. In this Lecture, we will learn about these powers and how to use them to transform our daily activities into purification practice.
As we purify our mind of negativity we naturally become happier and experience better conditions. With a steady practice of purification we eventually will become completely pure.

Mini Retreat: Patience and Love
Mini Retreat: Patience and Love
December 14, 2024 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
We all want to have meaningful holidays whether we are with family, friends or taking some time off for ourselves. Sometimes it is hard to keep a peaceful mind during this busy time and we end up having experiences that fall short of our expectations. If we train our mind in meditation we will have greater success in showing up as the person we want to be and joyfully accepting what comes our way.
Session 1 |10 – 11:15 am
Patience in action
Session 2 | 1145 – 1 pm
Love is the real nuclear bomb

Chanted Prayers: Quick Path to Great Bliss
Chanted Prayers: Quick Path to Great Bliss
December 15, 2024 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This extensive self-generation practice of Vajrayogini is a translation of the sadhana—ritual prayers for spiritual attainments—composed by Je Phabongkhapa. By relying on this practice sincerely, with a good heart and a mind of faith, it is definitely possible to attain full enlightenment; but to accomplish such results we must practice this sadhana regularly. To practice the sadhana successfully we should first receive the empowerment of Vajrayogini (Highest Yoga Tantra), and then study authentic instructions on the practice such as those found in the commentary New Guide to Dakini Land.
