SUMMARY:Public Talk:  Love and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:“In the Buddhist tradition\, compassion and love are seen as two aspects of the same thing: Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.” (The Dalai Lama.Oct 5\, 2012)  In the west\, we tend to confuse love with attachment.  Love is other focused–the wish for the other to be happy.   Attachment is self focused–how the other makes the self feel.   Understanding the true nature of love and compassion & developing both qualities in ourselves can make relationships\, families\, and communities more harmonious.  Please join us for this very special public talk on love and compassion (just ahead of Valentine’s Day!) which will be taught both by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, resident monk and teacher at the Manjushri Dharma Center\, and by Geshe Lobsang Kanchok\, a monk and friend visiting from India.  Consecutive interpretation will be provided by Tibetan Buddhist language scholar and practitioner\, David Molk.\n\n\n\n\nSuggested donation of $10.00 welcome\, but no one turned away for lack of funds.  All are welcome!\n\nTalk begins at 11:15am after the Saturday meditation class.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Remembrance Ceremony for Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Kyabje Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche was the kind heart teacher of our own Khenpo Karten Rinpoche.    In a blog post entitled\, I Met My Root Guru In A Dream\, KK Rinpoche writes\, “With last night’s dream\, I see it as a good sign that my benevolent guru who passed away about fifteen years ago has still not let me\, his poor disciple\, out of the grip of his compassion…I am again and again forcefully reminded of how he especially takes care of me\, this lowly child within his entourage\, as lovingly as a mother cares for her only child.” \nOn the occasion of the Tibetan New Year’s Eve\, we will remember the great kindness of Kyabje Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche by reciting special prayers\, some of which were composed by KK Rinpoche.   Participants may bring flowers for the altar if they wish\, but simply participating is the best offering you can make as we honor this precious lineage. \nPoem for Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche\, written by KK Rinpoche: \nYou whose kindness is beyond repaying\,\nUnfailing\, supreme object of refuge\,\nWith the name of the benevolent ‘Buddha’\,\nI saw you again in a dream! \nFor those wanting permanent Liberation\nFrom the suffering of unbearable karma and delusions\nThat is experienced in this inescapable pit\, this prison of samsara\,\nNothing surpasses the guru’s personal instructions. \nSole Father manifesting as a human being\,\nWhile I am your child\, your son\, a monk\,\nI place my hopes in none but you;\nNever leave me out of your compassionate care! \nYet\, since the sole Father Guru\nHas introduced me to my own mind as the guru\nIn the nature of dharmakaya emptiness-awareness\nI never think the guru is not here! \nLeaving present ordinary consciousness\nTo settle naturally\, uncontrived\, unaltered\,\nWithout distraction at all times\,\nThe state of the Guru will be attained! \nRead more:  I Met My Root Guru In A Dream \n
