SUMMARY:Buddha Nature
DESCRIPTION:“All beings have Buddha nature.  Just as milk is pervaded by butter\, when the two accumulations are ‘churned’ with effort at some point Buddha nature will manifest!  That is my heart advice.  The difference between ‘Buddhas’ and ‘sentient beings’ is whether they have awakened awareness or not.  If you don’t cling to them as permanently different\,  you will find Buddha within!  That is my heart advice.”  pages 6-7 Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar \nOn Buddha Nature from H.H.Dalai Lama:  “From Buddha’s viewpoint\, a human being has—through training\, through practice—what we call the highest enlightened mental state. So through practice\, a human being\, through a sort of purification one’s own mental state\, can eventually\, finally\, become an enlightened one. Even Buddha himself\, in order to get final enlightenment\, needed hard work.  Every sentient being—even insects—have Buddha nature. The seed of Buddha means consciousness\, the cognitive power—the seed of enlightenment. That’s from Buddha’s viewpoint. All destructive things can be removed from the mind\, so therefore there’s no reason to believe some sentient being cannot become Buddha. Every sentient being has that seed.” Come and learn from Khenpo Karten Rinpoche as he teaches in his own English about the amazing potential all beings have to engage Buddha Nature. \nH.H. Dalai Lama quote source:  2010 PBS interview

SUMMARY:The Six Bardos New Year Retreat 2017
DESCRIPTION:Happiness in Life\, Peace in Death:  The Six Bardos New Year Retreat 2017\nJanuary 20-22\, 2017\nIt’s time to register for our upcoming retreat with Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 20-22\, 2017. This will be a most precious opportunity to share an in-depth teaching by Rinpoche on The Six Bardos. \nBrief Description of Teaching\nWhat is the bardo ? The Tibetan word bardo means the intermediate state\, which is our state of existence before and after death. There are altogether six bardos from the moment of conception till death. \nThe purpose of understanding the bardo is to use every spiritual experience in this life as a preparation for the moment of death and the next rebirth.  Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will teach on: \n1. How to achieve happiness in this life with the first three bardos: Kyenay Bardo (the bardo of birth and life)\, Milam Bardo (the practice of dream yoga in the dream state) and Samten Bardo (the bardo of meditation or concentrative absorption); \n2. How to achieve peace at the moment of dying through the final three bardos: Chinkai Bardo (the bardo of dying at the moment of death until complete dissolution of outer and inner elements)\, Chonyi Bardo (luminosity of our true nature) and Sipa Bardo (the bardo of our new form which is determined by our karmic accumulations and actions). \nRetreat Schedule\n\n\n\n \n\n\nFriday\, Jan. 20th\n5:00pm-7:00pm: Check in\n7:00pm-9:00pm: Session 1-Welcome\, Setting Intention\, & Introduction to Teaching\n\n\nSaturday\, Jan. 21st\n9:00am-12:00pm:  Session 2–The Bardo\n12:00pm-1:00pm: Lunch (provided)\n1:00pm-4:00pm:  Session 3–The Bardo\n7:00pm-9:00pm:  Evening activity TBD\n\n\nSunday\, January 22nd\n8:00am-12:00pm:  Session 4–The Bardo\n12:00pm: Lunch (provided) & Annual Meeting\n\n\n\nMore Information\nhttps://manjushridharmacenter.org/the-six-bardos-new-year-retreat-2017/
