“A son of the incomparable Shakyas said, ‘If intentions are good, the path and destination will be good, but if intentions are bad, the path and destination will be bad.’  Call up good intentions!  That is my heart advice.”  p.4 Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar

One of the most practical ways to apply Dharma to daily life is through the setting of good intentions and checking our intentions throughout the day.   Are we wishing others well in this moment?  Do we wish to do no harm, have no enemy, and hold compassion in this moment?  The practice does not involve being hard on oneself, nor is it meant to control externalities.  It is a gentle yet profound self-reflective practice.  We can gradually and gently train our mind to hold positive intentions at all times, even in times of mental distress, which has immense benefits for both ourselves and others.  Join us for this special teaching from Rinpoche on the Power of Good Intentions.

This teaching is part of a  series given by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche based on his booklet “Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar.”  It follows the Saturday meditation session (which runs from 10-11) and is appropriate for anyone interested in practical ways to apply Dharma teachings to busy western life.  No registration required.   Suggested donation of $10.00, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.  We hope you join us!
