Please join us at Emaho Center on Saturday, July 12, from 1 to 4 pm for the rare opportunity to receive from ZaChoeje Rinpoche the Lama Choepa transmission.

We have asked Rinpoche, and he has kindly accepted, to give the Lama Choepa transmission. Guru Yoga, also known as the practice of merging one’s mind with the mind of the master, is one of the most important in Vajrayana Buddhism. It brings us to trust, through the blessing of the teacher, our own enlightened nature. Rinpoche will explain in detail the practice and its relevance to attaining happiness and the causes of happiness.

The word Guru means master. It infers not only the external master but our own individual Buddha nature. The word Yoga means the practice of unifying the master’s and our own Buddha nature as one. The result is a firm spiritual foundation that gives us new tools to deal with fluctuating changes and unexpected challenges. We learn to harness our Buddha nature.

As we practice Guru Yoga we learn to trust our precious Buddha nature, enabling us to accept the circumstances of our lives with appreciation and strength. As we live with admiration, inspiration and faith we live more fully, without regret. With the new-found strength that is generated through the practice of Guru Yoga we learn to live unafraid. With the new-found compassion that is generated through the practice of Guru Yoga our hearts open not only to others but to our own selves. With the new-found wisdom that is generated through the practice of Guru Yoga we joyfully embrace the precious moments as they naturally unfold.  Through the practice of Guru Yoga we are able to make our lives spiritual and meaningful for the sake of all.
