Green Tara Teachings, Empowerment and more

We’re pleased to announce  the return not only of in-person teachings but also of our beloved Drupon Thinley Ningpo to Tucson. He will teach the weekend of April 22nd and 23rd, 2023.  Each day will start at 10am and end at 4pm PST, with a break for lunch from 12-2pm.

ZOOM LINK TO JOIN THE TEACHING

Saturday, April 22nd
10am-4pm PST (lunch break: 12-2)

Drupon will lead the Green Tara Empowerment and corresponding practice instruction.  Green Tara is known as the mother of all Buddhas, a protectress from maladies such as fear, disease, and war, whose great compassion and enlightened activities work to end the suffering of all sentient beings.

He will then guide us through her brief practice sadhana. While only a few pages long, it contains all of the core elements of deity practice and serves as a basis for understanding deity practice in general,  Therefore this instruction offers a great opportunity to learn or to brush up on the fundamentals of Vajrayana Buddhist deity practice, and how it leads to Buddhahood.

Sunday, April 23rd
10am-4pm PST (lunch break: 12-2)

Drupon will offer heart teachings on the importance of establishing and maintaining a daily practice. This instruction will be based on verse that Drupon himself composed, Musings of a Practitioner, that calls out key aspects of the path to enlightenment such as virtuous conduct, karmic infallibility, and pure view.

Location
The teachings will be held at Red Tree Meditation & Yoga Center in Tucson and simultaneously broadcast online via Zoom.  Despite the short notice, we strongly encourage you to attend, since it has been 3.5 years since our last in-person teaching event.

All are welcome and the teachings will be free of charge, however please donate what you can to support this and future teachings in the Old Pueblo.

Exact times and zoom links will be provided via email and on our website prior to the teaching.
