SUMMARY:Chakras\, Channels and the Mind of Great Bliss
DESCRIPTION:What are chakras\, and what role do they play in our spiritual development? \nAccording to Buddhist teachings on the subtle body\, each of us possesses inner energy winds that flow through a network of subtle channels and chakras. These inner winds are closely connected with our mind\, and by learning to harness them through meditation we can bring about profound inner transformation. \nIn this retreat we will explore how working with our subtle body and mind can lead to deep spiritual change. We will understand that enlightenment is not simply an inspiring idea—it is a real possibility within our own mind. The teachings explain with remarkable clarity the precise process through which an ordinary person can transform into an enlightened being.   \nAlthough this is an advanced retreat\, anyone who has the intention to receive the Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment is welcome to attend. It will help to have some familiarity with the topic as explained in Modern Buddhism Part 2. Below is a link to the free e-book. \nThis event will be available for members to livestream teaching sessions: Introduction and Sessions 1\, 3 & 6.

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.
