SUMMARY:The Essence of Mind Training: Radical Openheartedness as Transformation\, Concluding with the Bodhisattva Vow
DESCRIPTION:In person at KCC and over Zoom \nFriday: 6:30–8:30pm\nSaturday and Sunday: 10:00–12:00pm\, 2:30–4:00pm\, and 4:30–6:00pm \nKagyu Changchub Chuling is thrilled to announce that Drupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal has accepted our invitation to visit North America and will be teaching at KCC over two weekends to guide and inspire our Dharma practice. Each weekend of teaching will have its own distinct theme\, and attendance can be for one or both of the weekends. The event will be translated by Lama Yeshe of Prajna Fire. \nThe genre of teachings known as Mind Training is considered the very essence of Mahayana Buddhism. Mind Training provides instructions and practices for realizing both the wisdom of ultimate bodhichitta and the compassion of relative bodhichitta. Mind Training’s many aphorisms provide us with various tools to utilize our everyday experiences as means to reduce our self-grasping tendencies and to increase our loving-kindness and compassion. \nThese teachings on relative bodhichitta are like a handbook for life between meditation sessions. Many students have discovered the profundity of these instructions and benefited deeply from their accessibility and practicality. The implementation of the Mind Training curriculum is critical to progressing along the Buddhist path and further allows us to be more skillful companions in our broader and more intimate communities. \nTo deepen our commitment to this path of wisdom and compassion\, Drupon Khenpo will offer the opportunity to formally take the Bodhisattva Vow on the final afternoon of these teachings. In this ceremony\, we affirm our aspiration to attain awakening for the benefit of all beings and pledge to engage in the practices that manifest it. It will serve as an auspicious conclusion to two special weekends of Dharma sharing! Those who do not wish to take the vow may still attend the ceremony. \nFor information the first weekend of teaching\, Buddha Nature: Our Original Purity\, click here. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \n\nDrupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal\n“Drupon Khenpo” is actually two titles denoting his spiritual training. He first earned the title of khenpo after excelling in scholarship as part of the initial class of enrollees at Rumtek Monastery’s monastic college or shedra. He subsequently entered the traditional three-year retreat under the direction of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche at Pullahari Monastery. Upon completion of these three years of meditation practice\, he was appointed drupon or “retreat master” by Rinpoche. Thus\, Drupon Khenpo’s teachings combine his vast scholarship with deep experience in meditation\, both of which are enhanced by his joyous and humorous personality. Upon his retirement from leading annual classes and retreats for foreigners at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal\, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche appointed Drupon Khenpo as his successor\, and he has been teaching in this capacity since 2005.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/the-essence-of-mind-training-radical-openheartedness-as-transformation-concluding-with-the-bodhisattva-vow-with-drupon-khenpo/
