SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Thargyen Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\, also known as the Thargyen\, was originally composed by Ven. Gampopa (1079-1153) and 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\n\nThursday\, January 11th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 2:  Precious Human Life\n\nThursday\, January 18:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 3:  The Spiritual Friend\n\nThursday\, January 25:  No book club due to All-Sangha Meeting \nThursday\, February 1st:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 4:  Instructions on Impermanence\n\nThursday\, February 8th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 5:  The Suffering of Samsara\n\nThursday\, February 15th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 6:  Karma and Its Results\n\nThursday\, February 22nd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 7:  Loving-kindness & Compassion\n\nThursday\, March 1st: 6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 8:  Refuge & Precepts\n\nThursday\, March 8th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 9:  Cultivation of Bodhichitta\n\nThursday\, March 15th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 10:  Training in Aspiring Bodhichitta\n\nThursday\, March 22nd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 11:  Training in Action Bodhichitta\n\nThursday\, March 29nd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 12:  The Perfection of Generosity\n\nNote:  Rinpoche returns on March 30th\, and we will ask his permission to continue our book club on Thursdays at the Center.  \nThursday\, April 5th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 13:  The Perfection of Moral Ethics\n\nThursday\, April 12th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 14:  The Perfection of Patience\n\nThursday\, April 19th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 15:  The Perfection of Diligence\n\nThursday\, April 26th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 16:  The Perfection of Meditative Concentration\n\nThursday\, May 3rd:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 17:  The Perfection of Wisdom-Awareness\n\nThursday\, May 10:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 18:  The Aspects of the Five Paths\n\nThursday\, May 17th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 19:  The Levels of the Path\n\nThursday\, May 24th:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 20:  Perfect Buddhahood\n\nThursday\, May 31st:  6:30-8:00pm\, Manjushri Dharma Center \n\nChapter 21:  Activities of the Buddha\n\n
