Returns to Austin
February 3rd, 4th & 5th, 2012
Join us in welcoming Khenpo Tenzin Norgey back to Palri Pema Od
Ling! Khenpo will continue a series of teachings onShantideva's Bodhisattvacharyavatra"The Way of the Bodhisattva"
"If I have any understanding of compassion and the
bodhisattva path, it all comes from studying this text" HH Dalai Lama
"Engaging in the Conduct of the Bodhisattvas" by
the Indian Buddhist saint Shantideva is one of the most important classics of
Mahayana Buddhism. When asked to name a single book that encapsulates the
Buddhist path, His Holiness the Dalai Lama recommends this great work because
it is intellectually profound, poetically beautiful, and designed for study and
practice.
As an enhancement to Khenpo Norgay's teachings, students will benefit from purchasing or having access to,
and studying the commentary on the text by Khenpo Kunzang Palden called
"The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech, A Detailed
Commentary on Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva"

Intensive
Terton Kunzang Nyima's Vajrasattva Practice 5th Annual Retreat
All
are welcome to join in the Palri Pema Od Ling 5th annual Vajrasattva
Retreat from the Kunzang Nyima lineage. This extremely rare lineage of
Vajrasattva was taught by Tulku Teglo Rinpoche while he visited Texas
several years ago. It is a treasure revealed by his father, Kunzang
Nyima,
who was the speech emanation of Dudjom Lingpa and one of Gyatrul
Rinpoche's teachers from childhood. Once receiving it from Tulku Teglo
Rinpoche, Palri Pema Od Ling's sangha has faithfully maintained the
practice, at the request of Gyatrul Rinpoche.
Vajrasattva
is
the condensed essence of all meditation deities and has the power to
liberate us from our suffering and it's causes. Through the diligent and
faithful practice of this sadhana, from the Kunzang Nyima Tradition, one
can
attain enlightenment in a single lifetime.
Ven Lingtrul Kadak Choying Dorje (Lingtrul
Rinpoch) will
once again preside as Vajra Master for the fifth annual Dor Sem
retreat.
While it is
best to attend the whole program, it's also fine to attend individual
sessions as
your
schedule permits.
Bell
and dorje ritual implements are used in the practice and you are
encouraged to bring a set if you have one (not mandatory). A limited
number of 'temple copy' practice texts
will be available. If you would like to order a personal copy, contact
Vimala Treasures at 541 488-5657.
You are encouraged to pre-register. The fee to
attend the retreat is $25/day or $200 for the entire retreat and you can use the Paypal
link below. (No one turned away for lack of funds)
