Tuesdays (October 21 – December 9), 7:00pm – 8:30pm PST
In-Person at the Nyingma Institute and Online via Zoom
Patrul Rinpoche’s The Words of My Perfect Teacher is a revered text in the Tibet tradition that provides a practical guide to the transformation of consciousness and an introduction to Nyingma practices. Written in plain language, Patrul Rinpoche speaks to both the beginner and to those with more advanced training, in presenting preliminary practices needed to advance along the path to enlightenment. The first term was devoted to the Outer Preliminaries that present the fundamentals of Buddhism in general. This term examines the Inner Preliminaries that clear the way to full awakening. More practice will be emphasized this term, particularly those associated with the Longchen Nyingtik, a spiritual treasure cycle of the Nyingma tradition. Participants will need to acquire a copy of The Words of My Perfect Teacher, translated by the Padmakara Translation Group.
Instructors Mark Henderson and Hugh Joswick.
