Buddha’s Anniversary Celebration this Tuesday!

Join Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche

& Pema Khandro

Saga Dawa is the most auspicious day of the Tibetan Buddhist Calendar and a day celebrated by Buddhists all around the world. It is the anniversary of the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and the day he passed away into parinirvana. The effects of actions on this day are said to be multiplied by ten million times because of the spiritual power of this full moon on the fourth month.

Join us for a celebration of prayers and aspirations on this auspicious occasion.

For Saga Dawa, Khenpo Gawang will teach the Sadhana of Sakyamuni Buddha and give the initiation for the practice and for the mantra. This will be a reading transmission, or rlung.

Join Khenpo Gawang, Pema Khandro, friends and members for this joyous celebration of the Buddha’s Anniversary.

Upcoming Discussion

A dialogue between two Buddhist teachers and scholars, making sense of Buddhism, lineage, transmission and devotion in light of abuse revelations in the #metoo movement. This conversation focuses on how these issues have shaped our approaches to dharma practice and teaching. This is not proscriptive advice, but instead a conversation and reflection on how our practice and teaching approaches have changed and will continue to change with great concern for all survivors and for the future of women in Buddhism.

Our Mid-July Retreat

tromaretreat

With Pema Khandro

Friday, July 15th – Sunday, July 17th 2022
9am – 12pm PST | 12pm – 3pm EST

Compassion has many forms, it can be gentle and warm, but it can also be decisive and fierce. In Vajrayana, the fierce compassion is that which is self-less, beyond the duality of self/other, in the state of great clarity and care for every single being and the entire situation.

The retreat focuses on the fierce compassion meditation of Troma Nagmo, the black wrathful lady, supreme dakini who escorts beings to the state beyond fear and fierce form of Vajrayogini, The teachings and practices will focus on the Troma cycle in the Rinchen Trengwa Three Dakini Chod and Troma Nagmo deity yoga. This retreat is taught by Lama Pema Khandro in an online format to support retreat practice at home.

Breaking Open in the Bardo

By Pema Khandro Rinpoche | January 2, 2022

“There are times like these in our lives—such as facing death or even giving birth—when we are no longer able to manage our outer image, no longer able to suspend ourselves in pursuit of the ideal self. It’s just how it is—we’re only human beings, and in these times of crisis we just don’t have the energy to hold it all together. When things fall apart, we can only be as we are. Pretense and striving fall away, and life becomes starkly simple.”
