SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Thargyen Book Club\, Canceled this week
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 commentary 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. Using this commentary 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 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:\n\nChapter 1:  Buddha Nature\nChapter 2:  Precious Human Life\nChapter 3:  The Spiritual Friend\nChapter 4:  Instructions on Impermanence\nChapter 5:  The Suffering of Samsara\nChapter 6:  Karma and Its Results\nChapter 7:  Loving-kindness & Compassion\nChapter 8:  Refuge & Precepts\nChapter 9:  Cultivation of Bodhichitta\nChapter 10:  Training in Aspiring Bodhichitta\nChapter 11:  Training in Action Bodhichitta\nChapter 12:  The Perfection of Generosity\nChapter 13:  The Perfection of Moral Ethics\nChapter 14:  The Perfection of Patience\nChapter 15:  The Perfection of Diligence\nChapter 16:  The Perfection of Meditative Concentration\nChapter 17:  The Perfection of Wisdom-Awareness\nChapter 18:  The Aspects of the Five Paths\nChapter 19:  The Levels of the Path\nChapter 20:  Perfect Buddhahood\nChapter 21:  Activities of the Buddha
