MahamudraTwo day workshop 10/26-10/27 from10AM to 4PM Arizona Time

ZaChoeje Rinpoche is offering to us a two day workshop on the profound subject of Mahāmudrā.Mahāmudrā literally means "great seal" refering to the fact that "all phenomena are stamped by the true nature of non-duality between mind and matter”.  Many great Buddhist masters defined  Mahāmudrā as "the realization of the natural state as awareness-emptiness, absolutely clear, transparent, and the perfection of wisdom, beyond conception and expression." 

During this workshop Rinpoche will give to us the oral transmission of the root text of Genden Mahāmudrā and teach us how to bring this practice in our daily life.

On Saturday 4:00PM Arizona time, we will have the monthly Tsok offering puja.

21 Day ChallengeTwo Day Workshop 11/2-11/3 from10AM to 4PM Arizona Time with Vegetarian Pot Luck Lunch

The 21-day structured Tibetan Buddhist Dharma Challenge designed as a transformative journey reconnecting our body, speech and mind with spiritual study, breathing techniques, meditation, and mudras. Each day of the challenge will focus on specific practices. The challenge will help give us a stronger foundation helping us incorporate spitural concepts enriching our daily lives.

Incorporating specific daily breathing techniques and meditation practices promotes mental clarity and emotional balance. Each morning we’ll practice a specific breathing technique that helps us align our spiritual winds which help us center our thoughts and intentions.  Practising mudras helps us embody the teachings physically, creating a holistic experience that integrates mind, body, and spirit. By weaving these practices into everyday tasks we cultivate a richer spiritual understanding empowering us with increased mindfulness, presence, and compassion. The challenge ultimately aims to transform our mundane activities into opportunities for spiritual awakening, fostering a profound sense of fulfillment and connection to both ourself and others.
