SUMMARY:Mantrathon For World Peace & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Tulku Orgyen Phuntsok Rinpoche and the Odiyana Institute present\nMantrathon for World Peace and Healing. Please visit wisdomcentersc.org for more information. If you can’t attend the event in Santa Cruz\, but wish to still participate\, please read the letter below from Pema Tsultrim (Aaron Joseph): \nDear MDC Sangha Members and Friends\, \nI wish to inform you that Manjushri Dharma Center will not be live-streaming the Mantrathon on its premises this weekend. However\, as a devoted student of both Tulku Orgyen Rinpoche and our precious Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, I warmly invite all MDC sangha to join with the Odiyana Institute sangha in holy dharma practice. \nDuring the retreat \, we hold the collective goal of reciting “Om Mani Peme Hung” at least 1 million times. \nQ: Why chant Om Mani Peme Hung?\nA: Mantra is a Sanskrit word from two roots – “man” (mind) and “tr” (protect). Thus\, mantras “protect the mind” from negativity. The “Six-Syllable” or “Mani” mantra is the manifestation of the Buddha of Compassion (Tibetan: Chenrezig\, Sanskrit: Avalokiteshvara) in the form of sound. These Six Syllables contain the entire path to Enlightenment\, hidden within many profound layers of meaning.There are three ways you can be involved in the Mantrathon: \n1) Attend the retreat in person – Wisdom Center\, 740 Front Street\, Suite 155\, Santa Cruz\nFor registration info\, email me.\nFor a full event schedule\, click HERE\nSuggested donation $10/session or $50/weekend \n2) Attend via live stream – Email me to receive the Zoom link and tune in to any or all teachings and practice sessions from home. Donations to Odiyana Institute are appreciated\, but not required.3) Recite the Six-Syllables: Set aside time to chant “Om Mani Peme Hung” as many times as possible. Chant with a focused mind of love and compassion for all beings\, and dedicate the merit for world peace and healing. \nSubmit your mantra count by NOON ON SUNDAY\, SEPT 29th. Email me your sum total\, with “Mantra Total 2019” in the subject line. In the body of the email\, enter only:(1) Your name(2) Total # number of mantras you recited(3) Optional – Name(s) of specific loved one(s) for dedication of merit\, to be read aloud at dedication ceremony. \nMy email: jwlinthelotus@yahoo.com\nMay All Beings Benefit\, \nPema Tsultrim (Aaron Joseph)\nfor Odiyana Institute and Manjushri Dharma Center \n

Participants will be invited to sit or lie down comfortably (bring a shawl or small blanket if desired) and meditate or rest silently to receive the powerful healing blessings of the practice\, with its haunting melody and instrumentation.\nAfter the ceremony\, we will all gather to enjoy our Stone Soup.\nWe hope that many of our Sangha members can join us for this very special event.

SUMMARY:A Public Teaching by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche on "The Four Seals of Buddhism"
DESCRIPTION:As Buddhism developed and spread throughout the world\, many distinct lineages and philosophical schools emerged. While the various Buddhist traditions differ widely in their prayers and practices\, they are all unified by a belief in the “Four Seals or Characteristics of Dharma”: \nImpermanence \nEmotions resulting in pain/suffering \nEmptiness or Selflessness \nEnlightenment that is beyond concepts \nIn this public talk\, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, a very caring and compassionate teacher in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, will give a clear and accessible teaching on the meaning of the Four Seals and how to put an understanding of them into daily practice. \nWe invite you to take advantage of this special opportunity. Whether you are a Buddhist\, curious about Buddhism\, or have an interest in comparative religions\, this program will be very insightful and beneficial. \nKhenpo Karten Rinpoche was born in Nangchen\, East Tibet\, and received a traditional monastic education at several of Asia’s greatest Buddhist training centers. He suffered many hardships with the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Upon his escape to India\, Rinpoche was subsequently authorized by the Dalai Lama to come to the West and teach the Dharma. Rinpoche has groups of students in Europe\, Asia\, and North America\, and currently is the Spiritual Director at the Manjushri Dharma Center in Pacific Grove\, CA. \nSuggested donation: $20 \nAll are welcome to attend regardless of ability to make a donation.

SUMMARY:Saga Dawa Duchen\, "Great Occasion"
DESCRIPTION:This is the most important time of the Tibetan Buddhist year\, the 4th month of the lunar calendar. Saga is the name of the most visible star during the month and Dawa means month. It is during this special time that we celebrate the Buddha Shakyamuni’s birth\, enlightenment and parinirvana. \nDuring these days the merits of all of our positive\, virtuous actions of body\, speech and mind are greatly multiplied. This is also a time when any non-virtuous thoughts\, words and actions generate much negative karma. \nIn 2019\, Saga Dawa runs from June 4 to July 2. The 15th day of this lunar month\, Monday\, June 17\, is known as Saga Dawa Duchen which means “great occasion”. This is the single most important and auspicious day in all of Tibetan Buddhism where the merit of our positive karmic actions are multiplied 100\,000 times. MDC will celebrate this day with an Amitabha tsok offering beginning at 6:30 pm. \nA beneficial opportunity during this special month might be the motivation for all of us to renew or re-energize our practice. During this time\, one might do such practices as committing to reading a Buddhist book on a topic you have wanted to explore in more depth\, spending a bit more time each day on your meditation cushion\, and trying ways in which you can express more kindness and compassion for all beings around you. Specific activities that create much merit during this month include: visiting a local temple (such as MDC)\, making a generous donation offering\, and performing volunteer services for the Manjushri Dharma Center or another organization of your choice. \nStepping up your activities by creating a more structured practice period for yourself during this month will result in the creation of great merit\, benefiting yourself and others. Please don’t miss this opportunity to advance your practice during the most auspicious month of the entire Tibetan year. And we hope to see you at the Saga Dawa Duchen celebration on June 17.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:A brand-new series begins on April 17\, 2019\, starting at 6:30 pm. This exciting addition to the MDC methods of learning the Dharma will involve an interactive discussion of\, “A Ship Sailing to Liberation\,” a commentary to the\, “Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar\,” written by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche. Each session will consist of group reading of a section of the text followed by a moderated discussion of what that means to each of us\, along with offering ideas and examples of how we might put each teaching into practice in our daily lives. \nThis new practice series will offer each of us the opportunity to discuss and clarify different points of the Dharma while being held in a safe and non-judgmental space. It will provide a means of offering support to our own practice.  This is open to our entire sangha\, and any other persons interested in exploring the Dharma.  Bring a copy of the text if you have one. Extra copies will be available. \nDonations to the MDC in any amount are appreciated but not required.
