SUMMARY:Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering Retreat \nThe practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings \nWe all wish for spiritual realizations\, but these depend upon creating certain inner (mental) conditions such as purifying our negativity\, accumulating merit (good fortune)\, and receiving blessings.\nIn Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat we focus on the practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings. \nMaking mandala offerings (offering a pure universe) is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land\, and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving the powerful blessings of all the Buddhas through our Spiritual Guide. \nThe retreat starts on Tuesday evening with an introductory talk\, taught by Kadam Trina. This talk is mandatory for TTP students and for those wishing to participate in this retreat who have not engaged in this retreat before. All retreat sessions (Wednesday-Saturday) are self-guided. \nKadam Trina will give an introductory talk to this retreat on Tuesday\, Oct 28\, 7:00-9:00pm. Everyone welcome!

SUMMARY:Precepts
DESCRIPTION:The essence of the practice is to take eight precepts and to keep them purely for a period of twenty-four hours. \nBy doing this practice again and again\, we acquaint ourself with the practice of moral discipline and thereby make our human life meaningful. \nWe receive many great benefits from practicing moral discipline in this way. It helps us to solve the problems of this life by avoiding the causes of suffering; and it creates the cause for us to take fortunate rebirths in future lives and thereby protects us from the sufferings of lower rebirth. \nIn particular\, because it is performed with bodhichitta motivation\, this practice is very powerful for purifying negative karma. It accumulates a vast collection of merit and creates the cause for us to attain the unsurpassed happiness of enlightenment. \nWe first need to receive these precepts from a qualified Preceptor\, and then we can take them on our own as often as we wish. Instructions on both these methods are included in this sadhana. \nIf we wish to take the essence of this precious human life we should strive to engage in this practice as often as we can. \nAn explanation of the practice \nWhen we take the eight Mahayana precepts\, we explicitly promise to abstain for twenty-four hours from eight actions: \n\nKilling\nStealing\nSexual activity\nLying\nTaking intoxicants\nEating after lunch\nSitting on high or luxurious thrones or seats\nWearing ornaments\, perfume\, etc\, and singing and dancing\, etc.\n\nThese eight\, however\, are merely symbolic\, for in reality we promise to abstain from all non-virtuous actions for twenty-four hours. \nTaking and keeping these precepts is a special purification practice. Buddha realized that all living beings’ suffering comes from their previous negative karma\, and so he taught special practices to purify it. \nTo purify our negative karma we must practice the four opponent powers: the power of regret\, the power of reliance\, the power of the opponent force\, and the power of promise. These are explained fully in Joyful Path of Good Fortune. Within these four\, we are here emphasizing the power of promise – promising not to repeat non-virtuous actions. \nThere are many levels on which we can make this promise. We can promise not to commit non-virtuous actions for the rest of our life\, for a year\, for a month\, for a week\, or\, in this case\, for a day. \nIf we manage to keep our actions of body\, speech\, and mind pure for one day we can then extend it to two days\, then to three days\, and so on\, until eventually we can keep pure moral discipline all the time. \nIf we reach the point when we can keep our actions of body\, speech\, and mind completely pure all the time\, we shall have accomplished the Pure Land. With a pure body and a pure mind there is no basis for experiencing suffering; instead we shall experience only unceasing happiness from within. \nWe all want to be happy – living in a pure environment with pure friends\, pure enjoyments\, and so on – but this is unattainable for as long as we have negative karma in our minds. \nTherefore\, we need to rely upon Buddha’s skilful method for purifying our negative karma. This practice is very simple\, and it lasts for only a day at a time; but it leads to very great results.

Gradually\, we develop mental equilibrium\, a balanced mind that is happy all the time\, rather than an unbalanced mind that oscillates between the extremes of excitement and despondency.

SUMMARY:Lamrim Retreat - Meditation In The Heart - Click here for schedule
DESCRIPTION:Leading into Labor Day Weekend\, join us for this contemplative meditation retreat\, which gives us the opportunity to reflect on our life’s direction from the point of view of Buddhist wisdom\, in order to bring about deep spiritual transformation. Kadam Trina will guide this 5-day retreat on the meditations of the path to enlightenment called Lamrim.\n\nThese transformative meditations are a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings known as Lamrim\, that are easily integrated into modern daily life.  By engaging in these meditations systematically we build a strong foundation of inner peace within our busy and often stressful lives. Kadam Trina will offer guidance on how to use Lamrim for an effective daily meditation practice\, using the book Mirror of Dharma.\n\nAll sessions are guided and are suitable for all levels of experience. Attend either a portion or the entirety of the retreat - you can register for single sessions\, single days\, or the whole retreat.\n\nEverybody is welcome!
