Khenpo Tenzin: Yellow Dzambala Dharma Practice

Khenpo Tenzin will lead us in Yellow (gold) Dzambala Dharma practice which includes chanting and meditation. This Dharma practice helps to bring about prosperity and includes a focus on generosity for oneself and others. In Buddhism, there are 3 general categories of Giving.

  • Giving material things: This includes donating money, food, clothing, or other material goods. 

  • Giving loving protection: This includes providing safety and protection to those who are in fear, danger, or crisis. 

  • Giving loving understanding: This includes teaching the Buddha's teachings, or the Dharma, to others. In Tibetan Buddhism, this is considered the most important type of giving. 

Generosity is considered to be a very important practice in Buddhism. It is the first of the six paramitas, or far-reaching practices, of a bodhisattva. 

Some say that generosity can be practiced in many ways, including:

  • Offering a smile or a compassionate gaze

  • Giving your time and energy to help those in need

  • Working to help the environment

Khenpo Tenzin: Monthly Five-Fold Path Mahamudra for new & continuing students

Khenpo Tenzin: Monthly Five-Fold Path Mahamudra for new & continuing students

Dear students and Dharma friends,

Khenpo Tenzin is setting aside time each month for new and continuing students for teachings, practice and Q& A for the 5-Fold Path of Mahamudra (aka 3-Year Retreat Home Study program). Ani Chodron will also join from time to time. We will have Kusang available for translating Spanish and assisting Khenpo as needed with Tibetan translations during these sessions (unless otherwise noted for a specific session).

This session’s teachings will continue with teachings and Refuge practice, which is referred to as the Uncommon (Inner) Ngondro practice.

Zoom Meeting ID: 872 2576 5817 password: 108108

Zoom Meeting Link

The 5-Fold Path of Mudra offers step-by-step instructions and practice to progress along the Buddhist Path towards Enlightened Mind encompassing Bodhicitta, Wisdom, Compassion, Loving Kindness and progression in Meditative concentration and absorption. The curriculum includes all the practices of the traditional 3-Year Retreat. As started by Drupon Samten Rinpoche, we will follow the 3-Year Retreat “Home Study” approach. This means that you primary continue in your place of residence, as your time permits between other commitments you may have with work and family. In accordance with His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgo Chetsang, we have flexibility as to the number of mantra accumulations for each practice during the “Home Study” program.

In engaging in these practices, one receives the blessings of the precious root and lineage lamas and gives us support to bring clarity and stability in our practices and in our minds.
