SUMMARY:Transform Fear
DESCRIPTION:During this retreat\, we have the perfect opportunity to deepen our experience of refuge through strengthening our reliance on the Three Precious Jewels: Buddha\, Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) and Sangha (the spiritual community) in each session. The more sessions you can attend\, the better you will feel. This new or “renewed”  confidence in the power of refuge can positively affect every moment of your life. \nEach session is self-contained. You may drop-in to sessions as you are able\, treat yourself to a weekend\, or join us for the day\, in a very blessed and quiet space. This is a self- guided retreat. The instructions will be given in the Friday night introduction with Gen Lhadron. We will be using the chanted prayer “Essence of Good Fortune”. If you have the sadhana\, please bring it. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nSchedule: \nFri\, March 27 \n\nIntroduction: 7-8:30pm\n\nSat\, March 28 \n\nSession 1: 9-10:30am\nSession 2: 11:30am-1pm\nLunch: 1:15-2:15pm\nSession 3: 3-4:30pm\n\nSun\, March 29 \n\nSession 4: 9-10:30am\nSession 5 (Sunday Class): 11am-12:15pm\nWFJ w/tsog: 2-3pm\n\nMon\, March 30 \n\nSession 6: 9-10:30am\nSession 7: 11:30am-1pm\nLunch: 1:15-2:15pm\nSession 8: 3-4:30pm\n\nTue\, March 31 \n\nSession 9: 9-10:30am\nSession 10: 11:30am-1pm\nSession 11: 3-4:30pm

SUMMARY:Wishfulfilling Jewel with food offering
DESCRIPTION:This practice is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. In the first part we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa and make prayers and requests to purify negativity\, accumulate merit\, and receive blessings. This prepares our mind for a 15-minute meditation on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. After the meditation we make prayers to our Dharma Protector\, Dorje Shugden. Through this we can overcome obstacles to our practice and increase our pure Dharma realizations. \nThis practice includes a tsog offering so you can bring a vegetarian food or beverage\, packaged or prepared\, as an offering if you wish. Fruits\, vegetables\, cookies\, crackers\, dips\, and bottled beverages include some examples of  common tsog offering items.
