Tara Empowerment: Wisdom in Action

Tara is a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all Buddhas. She is understood as our common mother, our Holy Mother. When we are young, we turn to our worldly mother for help: she protects us from danger, provides for our needs, and guides our learning and development. In a similar way, as we grow spiritually we can turn to Tara, for protection, guidance, and refuge. The empowerment is a blissful guided meditation that has been passed down for centuries. Through this ceremony, we are drawn into the clear wisdom energy of the enlightened mind itself. In the commentary that follows, Gen Khedrub will explain how we can maintain our connection with Buddha Tara through formal meditation and throughout our day, allowing us to continually access our potential for greater and greater wisdom.

Total Acceptance, Total Freedom: A meditation workshop with Gen Khedrub

We all want lasting freedom from problems and pain. The possibility of this happening can only develop within a clear, open and patient mind.&nbsp; As we all know, normally our need to escape from unpleasant feelings is so urgent that we become impatient and reactive and we do not give ourself the time to discover where our suffering is actually coming from. We think that things should be different from the way they are. We blame circumstances or other people for our unhappiness.&nbsp; What we need is the clarity and spaciousness of mind to see what is really binding us. Patient acceptance enables us to undo our suffering and creates the space for practical solutions to arise. Guided meditations are included, and light refreshments will be offered during the break. This event is ideal for both newcomers and experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome.

Mahamudra Meditations: A day retreat with Gen Khedrub

In this special day retreat with Gen Khedrub, we will explore the time-honored Kadampa lineage of Mahamudra meditation, as presented in The Oral Instructions of Mahamudra by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. This meditative journey begins with discovering the nature of our own mind, progresses through meditation on ultimate truth, emptiness, and then guides us deeply inward with completion stage meditations on the central channel, drop, and wind. Through these profound meditations we learn that real freedom is possible, a freedom to transform our experience at the deepest level by realizing the actual nature of reality, emptiness, with our very subtle mind.
