SAGA DAWA DÜCHEN – PRAYERS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE

Thursday 23 May from 20:00 to 24:00 at Sakya Tsechen Ling :

BOUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI – THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

SAGA DAWA DÜCHEN is one of the four major Buddhist holidays. It celebrates the Enlightenment and Parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is one of the most powerful days of the year and coming together to practice and recite the special prayers generates unlimited merits, which we will especially dedicate to universal peace and the benefit of all beings sensitive.

You are all invited to participate so that together we can make our indirect contribution to pacifying the difficulties facing the world. Depending on your availabillity, you may also participate in the evening only.

During his Enlightenment, at the age of thirty-five in Bodhgaya, the Buddha proclaimed:

“Profound peace, natural simplicity, incomparable luminosity, I found Dharma similar to nectar.”

When the Buddha lay dying in a grove in the forest at Kushinagara, surrounded by five hundred of his disciples, he said to them with his last breath:

“It is in the nature of all things that take form to dissolve again. Strive with all your being to achieve perfection.”

Khenpo Tashi will give teachings on the profound Guruyoga Lama Chöpa, a ritual that will then be practised together on Sunday morning accompanied by many special offerings prepared for the occasion.

Who would like to participate in these offerings (e.g. flowers, fruits, incense, etc) can send a contribution HERE.

In your heart, a spacious sky of love,
clouds of compassion fully gather,
with the rain of activity falling down,
you ripen the harvest of ones to be tamed.
Khenchen Sherab Gyaltsen Amipa, at your feet I bow!

„NOTES ON RESTING IN THE NATURE OF MIND” by JAMYANG KHYENTSE WANGCHUK, PART 2 – STUDY AND PRACTICE

Jamyang Khyentse Wangchuk (1524 – 1568) was a disciple of Tsarchen Losal Gyatso (1502 – 1566), whose oral teachings on the source text of Mitrayogin he recorded in his “Notes”. Rather than simply commenting on the meaning of the twenty-five verses, these teachings provide a guide to actually putting their essential message into practice.

Mitrayogin’s deep wish was that beings could free themselves from suffering and relax their minds, which is possible through method and wisdom. It was with this motivation that he composed the twenty-five verses.

On Sunday afternoon, the day of Medicine Buddha, the ritual will be performed.

WHITE TARA – TEACHING & INITIATION

Practiced by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, White Tara has been the main deity practice of many well-known Buddhist scholars and siddhas in both India and Tibet.

Winter retreat by Khenpo Tashi Sangpo Lag

From Tuesday, December 26, 2023 to Monday, January 1, 2024 on-site at Sakya Tsechen Ling as well as online via Zoom:

Dedicated to BUDDHA VAIROCANA – Initiation, teachings, meditations and rituals

Vairocana, or the Luminous One, one of the five Dhyani Buddhas, is a very important figure in Tibetan Buddhism. 

Meditation on Vairocana, who embodies the supreme wisdom of Dharmadhatu, liberates from ignorance and rebirth in lower realms.

In contrast to the emphasis on the teachings of the historical Buddha Śākyamuni in his Physical Body (Nirmanakāya), Vajrayana Buddhism places the timeless teachings of the Buddha’s Dharma Body (Dharmakāya) at the center of its doctrinal universe. This “cosmic Buddha” is called Mahāvairocana and is beyond all conception of worldly duality, but its essence is within all phenomena (dharmas) as their Buddha-nature or “seed-to-enlightenment” (Bodhicitta). 

In Esoteric Buddhism, enlightenment means to realize that one’s own Buddha-nature is identical with Mahāvairocana and can even be achieved in this lifetime while possessing a human body.

THE SECOND SETTING IN MOTION OF THE WHEEL OF DHARMA: THE ABSENCE OF CHARACTERISTICS

To guide his disciples towards liberation and enlightenment, the Buddha gave a wide range of teachings tailored to their individual needs and abilities. These teachings were then grouped into three classes of teachings called the three settings in motion of the wheel of Dharma, each setting in motion revealing another essential dimension of the path. In seminars during three years from 2022 to 2024, each of these teaching classes is addressed in turn.

In this second part, the specific subject of the second setting in motion of the wheel of Dharma is the profound wisdom of emptiness. This was expounded at length in the Sutras of the Perfection of Wisdom and later commented upon by many great masters, including Ārya Nāgārjuna and the teachers of the Madhyamaka school.

In this seminar we will explore the notion of reality as it is taught in the sutras of the perfection of wisdom. Our study of the “Heart Sutra” will be based on a commentary by the great Sakya master, Rongteun Sheja Kunrig, and accompanied by an introduction to the Middle Way school (Madhyamaka).

BOUDDHISME ET VIE QUOTIDIENNE : La contribution du bouddhisme dans notre vie quotidienne

Dans la vie de tous les jours, nous sommes confrontés à de nombreux défis et nous nous retrouvons souvent submergés par des situations et des émotions perturbantes. De nos jours, il existe différentes méthodologies pour apprendre à gérer ces situations. Ce soir, nous discuterons ensemble de la contribution importante que l’art ancien de l’esprit dans le bouddhisme peut nous apporter dans ce domaine.

Samedi et dimanche :

LES ENSEIGNEMENTS INSPIRÉS DE MAHAMUDRA EN CINQ ASPECTS

Les points essentiels du bouddhisme tibétain sont intégrés dans la pratique du Mahamudra en cinq aspects. Cette façon de subdiviser les enseignements met très bien en évidence les principaux aspects à cultiver dans la voie du Vajrayana et si nous nous appuyons sur eux, rien ne manquera à notre pratique. Ici, les cinq aspects de Mahamudra sont :

•  Le fondement, c’est-à-dire la bodhicitta
•  Le Yidam, la pratique spéciale de la Divinité
•  Le yoga du gourou, le soutien puissant qui permet de recevoir rapidement les bénédictions 
•  Le Mahamudra proprement dit, la reconnaissance de la nature de l’esprit
•  La dédicace, la perfection de la conclusion.

Dans ce séminaire, nous étudierons et pratiquerons ensemble ces cinq aspects qui sont au cœur de la voie vers l’éveil parfait qui nous a été transmise par nos précieux maîtres.

Friday 15 septembre from 20:00 to 22:00 at Sakya Tsechen Ling :

To celebrate His Holiness’ birthday (according to the Tibetan calendar) the ritual of “Thousand-Offerings to Buddha Ushnishavijaya” (tib. Namgyal Tongchö) will be performed. Buddha Ushnishavijaya is one of the three longevity Buddhas. 

His Holiness Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche is one of the most venerated Lamas and Vidyadhara of Vajrayana Buddhism and having His constant presence in our centres is truly a great blessing. It is important for us to continuously create karma to keep this connection with him alive! 

Through this powerful ritual may we deeply request His Holiness to remain in good health and live long, and continuously turn the wheel of Dharma.

During the Namgyal Tongchö–ritual, the seven offerings of water for drinking, water for washing, flowers, incense, light, scented water and food are prepared 1000 times. 
If you would like to contribute to these offerings with a donation, you are most welcome.

BOUDDHA USHNISHAVIJAYA – TEACHING & INITIATION

Ushnishavijaya, ‘Victorious Queen of the Crown of Light’ is a female Deity of long life who manifested from the brilliant rays of light that crown Buddha Shakyamuni. The crown of light (Ushnisha) is one of the 32 major signs of spiritual realisation that appears as a result of the boundless supreme wisdom attained by a Buddha. As an emblem of the absolute spiritual state, the Ushnisha symbolises the all-conquering power of omniscience, which enables even death to be defeated. Ushnishavijaya personifies such victorious power.
