Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo
Meditating and reciting on the teacher as Vajrasattva to cleanse all obscurations
The main obstacles that prevent all the extraordinary experiences and realizations of the profound path from arising are negative actions, obscurations and habitual tendencies. Just as it is important to clean the surface of a mirror if forms are to be reflected in it, so too it is important to eliminate our obscurations so the realization can appear like a reflection in the mirror of the Ground of All.
The Buddha taught countless methods of purification for this purpose, but the best of them is meditation and recitation related to the teacher as Vajrasattva.
Drupon will give us teachings and instructions for practice, lung transmission ( permission to practice for practitioners who did not have the empowerment) and will lead us into the practice itself , getting us ready to practice Ngondro on our own or together in our new center.
We are planing to add to our Sunday meditation schedule, one day a month as Ngondro day, where we can practice together the 4 accumulations for the benefit of our Dharma practitioners and all sentient beings.
