MONTHLY VAJRAYANA MEETINGS ONLINE
Ganden Lhagyema
The Ganden Lhagyema, one of the most important practices in our tradition, deepens the connection with the enlightened through meditational exercises that enrich inner development on the spiritual path. Grounded in appreciation for our spiritual teacher, this is a practice of guru devotion, considered to be the “backbone” of our spiritual practice and the root of all spiritual development. This study group will also focus on specific visualization practices interwoven with the mantra commonly referred to as Migtsema. Gelek Rimpoche’s transcript Ganden Lhagyema, The Uncommon Teachings is the basis of the study group.

Demo Rinpoche: The Four Seals of Dharma
Like a royal seal that historically proved authenticity and authority, the four seals give a true description of our current situation and that to which we can progress: all phenomena are impermanent by nature, all contaminated phenomena are suffering by nature, all phenomena are empty and devoid of inherent existence, Nirvana is a state of absolute peace. Over 2 Monday nights Demo Rinpoche will unpack the meaning of these fundamental principles.
