SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Thargyen Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\, originally composed by Ven. Gampopa (1079-1153)\, presents in one text all of Buddha’s 84\,000 teachings.  It is a kind step-by-step outline of the path to enlightenment\, and a primary text in the Kagyu tradition.   The 2018 book club translation is a teaching by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche\, given over four months specifically for a western audience.  The language is simple and the concepts are clearly presented\, though not as detailed as our initial study of the book.    Using this simpler translation and discussing how to put the teachings into practice in daily life\, we will be well-prepared to continue our study once Khenpo Karten Rinpoche returns to teach his beautiful 80-verse summary of this seminal work.   Details on the book club text and an outline of topics is below.  Even if you cannot read the chapters ahead\, the discussion of each topic will help us to better understand the path of Dharma.  Join us on Thursday evenings\, January 4th to March 22\, 2018 as we discuss the Jewel Ornament of Liberation. \nBook Club Book Details:\nJewel Ornament of Liberation\, commentary by:  Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche\, ISBN:  1-877294-27-6\nOriginally published in 2003\, updated 2014\, Namo Buddha Publications and Zhyisil Chokyi Ghatsal Trust Publications. \n \n  \n  \n  \nAvailable on Amazon (2014 update\, white cover) for roughly 30.00:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8120836987/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nAvailable from Namse Bangdzo Bookstore (2003 version\, gold cover) for roughly 40.00\nhttps://www.namsebangdzo.com/Je_Gampopa_s_The_Jewel_Ornament_of_Liberation_p/12086.htm \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDiscussion Topics:\nThursday\, January 4th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 1:  Buddha Nature\nChapter 2:  Precious Human Life\n\nThursday\, January 11th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 3:  The Spiritual Friend\nChapter 4:  Instructions on Impermanence\n\nThursday\, January 18:  No book club due to All-Sangha Meeting \nThursday\, January 25th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 5:  The Suffering of Samsara\nChapter 6:  Karma and Its Results\n\nThursday\, February 1st:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 7:  Loving-kindness & Compassion\nChapter 8:  Refuge & Precepts\n\nThursday\, February 8th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 9:  Cultivation of Bodhichitta\nChapter 10:  Training in Aspiring Bodhichitta\n\nThursday\, February 15th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 11:  Training in Action Bodhichitta\nChapter 12:  The Perfection of Generosity\n\nThursday\, February 22nd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 13:  The Perfection of Moral Ethics\nChapter 14:  The Perfection of Patience\n\nThursday\, March 1st: 6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 15:  The Perfection of Diligence\nChapter 16:  The Perfection of Meditative Concentration\n\nThursday\, March 8th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 17:  The Perfection of Wisdom-Awareness\n\nThursday\, March 15th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 18:  The Aspects of the Five Paths\nChapter 19:  The Levels of the Path\n\nThursday\, March 22nd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 20:  Perfect Buddhahood\nChapter 21:  Activities of the Buddha
