Suraj: Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche http://solari.com/blog/images/KHENPOS2008.pdf Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche (right) is one of the most highly qualified scholars and meditation masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He entered Gochen Monestary at the age of six, where he began intensive training in all facets of Tibetan Buddhism. He is considered a Master of Dzogchen, the most highly developed tradition of spiritual practice in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinposhe (left) is a Tantric Master as well as an accomplished author, poet, and Buddhist historian. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, supreme head of the Nyingma lineage, enthroned him as Abbot of the Nyingma Institute and Orgyen Chokholing Monestary in Kathmandu, Nepal. He is a Tulku, holding all of the transmissions and empowerments of the Nyingma,Kama, and Terma lineages. DEATH AND DYING IN THE TIBETAN TRADITION Tuesday, September 16, 7:30 pm, $15 Tibetan Buddhism has one of the most highly developed understandings of the process of death and dying. In this lecture, the Khenpos will articulate the Tibetan Buddhist insights into the process of death which also sheds light on and gives deeper meaning to the art of living itself. DZOGCHEN – THE NATURE OF THE MIND TEACHINGS AND TRANSMISSION: Wednesday, September 17, 7:30 pm, $15 Dzogchen is the ultimate teaching of all of the enlightened ones and is regarded as the culmination of all spiritual paths. In Dzogchen, we are introduced to how to effortlessly abide in the primordially pure state of enlightenment that has been our ever-present condition from the very beginning. The Khenpos will be using the famous Dzogchen text by Mipham Rinpoche “Self-Radiance of Vajra Awareness-Emptiness.” GOLDEN RED MANJUSHRI EMPOWERMENT Thursday, September 18, 7 pm, $20 Manjushri is the archetypal deity of wisdom. As the great bodhisattva Shantideva said “Everything the Buddha taught comes down ultimately to a question of wisdom.” This is because it is the attainment of wisdom that enables us to attain liberation from suffering. Faith, love and kindness are in fact the products of true wisdom. This empowerment will activate, awaken and empower our intrinsic wisdom.

Suraj: HER EMINENCE JETSUN CHIMEY LUDING, sister of His Holiness Sakya Trizin will visit Portland OR Feb. 7-8 - HER EMINENCE JETSUN CHIMEY LUDING, sister of His Holiness Sakya Trizin Location: T.B.A Donation: T.B.A. Teaching of Avalokiteshvara in the tradition of Mahasiddha Tsembupa The teaching is based on the Anuttarayoga tantra and originated from the Mahasiddha Tsembupa, who was born in upper Tibet, near Sakya. Tsembupa showed unique qualities at a very young age and mastered both meditation and contemplation. Having abandoned worldly activities, he lived a simple life with minimal possessions as a part of his meditation practice. His impoverishment literally gave him his name of Tsembupa, which means the tailor who patches his old and torn clothing. Many people recognized Tsembupa’s attainments as those of a great master and, although honored administrative posts were offered by various monasteries, his devotion to his meditative practice was his priority. It was in his meditation that he experienced a pure vision of Vajrayogini who conferred upon him the instruction for this Avalokiteshvara teaching. Included within this teaching are instructions on the preliminaries of taking refuge, Vajrasattva, mandala offering and Guru Yoga. This teaching includes the creation and contemplation stages, as well as phowa. Tsembupa lived and practiced in seclusion, so only a small group of six disciples received the teachings. Two disciples were able to pass the teachings to others, generating a reception of the teachings that became well known and widely spread. It was through this teaching that many master practitioners attained realization. Tsembupa practiced the Avalokiteshvara tantra all of his life and, at the time of his death, he used the phowa and liberated himself to the dakini land. * No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. http://www.sakyapdx.com/comingframeset.htm More information: 503-234-8887 Email: loopski@gmail.com ====================== UPDATE It is with regret that the visit of Jetsun Kusho Chimey Luding, planned at the end of January, will be delayed until the Spring of 2010. The weather in the Pacific Northwest was been unusually difficult in December '08 and already in the first days of January '09. It had been planned that Jetsunma would be traveling by car from British Columbia, but with excessive snow in mountain passes and flooding already occurring in sections of Washington and Oregon, including here in Portland, it became obvious that driving, not only for Jetsunma's party, but for the students and friends of the Portland Sakya Center, would be difficult, if not impossible. It just made good sense to take away the hazard and plan for a better time.

Trichen Ngawang Thutop Wangchul, the last Sakya throne holder in Tibet. He also studied with many other great Buddhist teachers, including Dzongsar Khyentse Jamyang Chökyi Lodrö and Dingo Khyentse Robsal Dawa. In 1960, H.H. J.D. Sakya was invited to work on a University of WA research project on Tibetan civilization which was sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation. At the request of students, he co-founded with H.E. Dezhung Rinpoche the Sakya Tegchen Choling, a center for the study of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. In 1984, the center became the Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. http://www.sakya.org/specialevents/227-vajrayogini-sindura-mandala-empowerment.html Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism 108 NW 83rd Street Seattle, WA 98117 USA Tel: (206) 789-2573 Fax: (206) 789-3994 Monastery@Sakya.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Suraj: Jigme Tromge Rinpoche Nyingma Empowerment Series & Practice ~ EMPOWERMENTS & PRACTICE ~ These practices lie at the heart of Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche's legacy. During the time of Guru Rinpoche, one of his 25 disciples was named Gyalwa Chokyang, a great siddha. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche was the incarnation of this great master. During Rinpoche's lifetime he revealed a number of hidden dharma treasures, Termas, of Guru Rinpoche. The transmissions of these practices were bestowed by Chagdud Rinpoche on Jigme Rinpoche to uphold and, when the conditions were right, to bestow on others. Through the ripening of our collective dharma-virtue, he will now do that here at Amrita. These Termas of Chagdud Rinpoche are: Green Tara, Seven-Eyed Red Tara, Wrathful Guru, and Kurukulle (Padma Dakini). We will also be receiving the blessings of the Dudjom Lineage Medicine Buddha and Lion-Faced Dakini, and the Rigdzin Dupa of the Longchen Nyingtig Cycle of Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa. As well, we will receive the root empowerment for Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's own Terma Cycle, Padma Rangjung Nyingtig, the Essence of Siddhi, and Chagdud Rinpoche's own practice of Hayagriva from the same cycle as our Chenrezig practice revealed by the great terton, Tromge Khachod Wangpo. NOTE: Square brackets [ ] denote the lineage/terma source. THE GREAT EMPOWERMENT OF 1,000-ARMED CHENREZIG [Tromge] *Thursday & Friday, April 15th & 16th Rinpoche will begin the first part of the Great Empowerment of Chenrezig on Thursday night. The main part will be on Friday afternoon. This empowerment is the most elaborate form of the '1000-Armed' empowerment and takes BOTH sessions to complete.

Suraj: Ayang Rinpoche Vajrasattva Outer, Inner, Secret, Innermost Secret (treasure of Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu, From the Clear Depths of the Heart Sphere of Vajrasattva) Oct 15-18 Olympia, Washington, USA http://ayangrinpoche.org/ “On the ultimate level, the body, speech, wisdom, qualities and activities of the Buddhas of the three times are all included in one mandala in Vajrasattva. The mandalas and mantras of all these Buddhas are also included in Vajrasattva. The one hundred deities from the Tibetan Book of the Dead are included in the Five Buddha Families, and those Five Buddha Families are included in Vajrasattva.” H.E. Ayang Rinpoche The practice of Vajrasattva, and the recitation of Vajrasattva’s 100-syllable mantra, are common to all Tibetan Buddhist lineages, and are an essential component of the preliminary practices, orNgondro. Ayang Rinpoche also teaches a more extensive practice, the Outer, Inner, Secret, Innermost Secret and Essence Nature Buddha Vajrasattva. This is a wisdom treasure of Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu, From the Clear Depths of the Heart Sphere of Vajrasattva. It was traditionally not taught in public, and was given only to those who maintained a strict retreat. This Vajrasattva practice is extraordinarily rich and beautiful, containing highly effective methods to heal ourselves and others, purify negative karma, and enter into the clear light state. Ayang Rinpoche describes this Vajrasattva practice as “a complete path to enlightenment.”
