Public Talk, Compassion in Daily Life: Thurs., September 26th
Drupon Palkyi will share with us insight and wisdom on how to practice compassion in our daily lives.
Healing Chöd Ceremony: Friday, September 27th
The Healing Chöd Ceremony is a special practice for those who are experiencing illness and particularly beneficial for stress-related illness and obstacles to our health. This Prajnparamita Perfection of Wisdom Teaching lineage originates with the 11th-century realized yogini, Machig Labdron. Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön, the 12th-century founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, passed this profound dharma to us via the Kusali Chöd text. The Chöd Healing ceremony requires no special prerequisites. Drupon Palkyi will do the practice on our behalf as we meditate or hold a receptive state of mind. As with all Mahayana practices, we do it with bodhicitta—the mind that seeks to benefit all beings equal to space—in our hearts.
Tsa Lung: Saturday, September 28th & Sunday, September 29th
Tsa Lung is a practice that works intensively with the subtle body system. Subtle body health is connected to physical body health and a calm, happy mind.
In the Tibetan language, Tsa means “channels” and Lung means “winds” or prana energy; both are essential to subtle body health. Blockages in the channels cause imbalances in our body systems as vital nutrients, oxygen and blood don’t flow properly. These blockages also cause energetic and mental blockages. Tsa Lung combines special breath retention techniques with physical movements and visualizations to move our wind-energy throughout the body to open blockages and remove obscurations, allowing it to reach deep places and open more and more subtle channels. When the wind flows freely, this energy can be used for self-healing or to benefit others.
Benefits affiliated with Tsa Lung are purification of negative karma and obstacles, increased clarity and awareness, overcoming attachments, and greater ability to calm the mind and rest in the present moment.
