Ven. Lama Thubten Nima
Vajrasattva Empowerment and Teachings
October 12 & 13
|
The buddhas and bodhisattvas have been showering RigDzin Dharma with blessings manifesting as precious lamas to offer sublime dharma teachings!
On Friday, October 12, Ven. Lama Thubten Nima will visit our center and bestow the Vajrasattva empowerment. The following day, Saturday, October 13, he will continue with teachings on Vajrasattva practice. Vajrasattva is an essential element of Tibetan Buddhist purification practice and used to purify obscurations and any broken samaya vows so we can progress in our practice. By reciting Vajrasattva's mantra we purify karma and set the causes and conditions for enlightened activities.
Lama Thubten Nima is the founder and resident lama of Drikung Rinchen Choling Foundation in Los Angeles, CA, and Chant Master for the Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley, AZ. He has received teachings from many of the great living Buddhist masters including Dzogchen trekchod and thogal from Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche (root guru of both Ven. Traga Rinpoche and HE Garchen Rinpoche), the entirety of the Drikung Kagyu protectors and the higher and lower tantra sections from HE Garchen Rinpoche, and Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok's terma (mind treasure) of the Kilaya cycle of teachings, among many more. We are so fortunate to have Lama Thubten Nima with us in Albuquerque giving teachings!

Quote to Consider...
A Prayer by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
May I become, at all times,
both now and forever,
a protector for those without a protector;
A guide for those who have lost their way;
A ship for those with oceans to cross;
and a sanctuary for those in danger;
May I be a lamp for those in need of light;
A refuge for those in need of shelter,
and a servant to all those in need.
