SUMMARY:Sunday Evening Special Event--Chöd Practice with guest Anam Thubten
DESCRIPTION:Chöd\, which means “to cut\,” is a profound path of severing dualistic fixation and ego-clinging. For the chod practitioner\, the body is regarded as the primary object of clinging. Through visualizing one’s consciousness as the female Buddha T’hroma Nagmo (The “Wrathful Black Mother”) the yogi or yogini offers the ordinary body to the assembled guests: enlightened beings\, gods and demons (personifications of the five poisons of the mind)\, and those owed karmic debts\, purifying negative karma and accumulating merit on a vast scale. Combining the view of the Prajnaparamita Sutra with the highest view of Dzogchen\, Chöd is known for its haunting melodies and ritual instrumentation. When performed for others\, it is a powerful healing ritual.  This special practice will be held on Sunday\, Oct.31\, 2021 at 6:30pm on Zoom (details below).   What an appropriate way to celebrate the American holiday Halloween!\n\n\nAnam Tubten\, founder and spiritual advisor of Dharmata Foundation \nSpecial Guest:  Anam Thubten\, founder and spiritual advisor of the Dharmata Foundation in Richmond\, California\, will give a brief explanation of the practice.\n\nPlease note:  this practice is not for those new to Buddhism\, as it requires explanation from a qualified teacher before engaging in the practice.  Please speak to your Dharma teacher for permission to practice this text.\n\nText:  Chöd Practice\, “The Loud Laugh of the Dakini\,” by Longchen Nyingthig\n\nZoom Link to Join: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86345470369?pwd=Mk1QQmFXVEdkd1N3RWlrbllNWXNFQT09\nMeeting ID: 863 4547 0369\nPasscode: Peace=Love \nOne tap mobile\n+16699009128\,\,86345470369#\,\,\,\,*4296739108# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,86345470369#\,\,\,\,*4296739108# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \nMeeting ID: 863 4547 0369\nPhone Passcode: 4296739108 (no participant ID\, press # to bypass)\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kD7seFIYt
