SUMMARY:Heart Transmission of Rinpoche's Jewel Ornament of Liberation Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Khenpo Karten Rinpoche has written a beautiful 80 verse teaching on the Jewel Ornament of Liberation\, translated into English by Jampa Tharchin in early November. As Rinpoche states in his colophon\, it was written: “so that future disciples could know how to put all of the Jewel Ornament of Liberation into practice\, day and night\, in daily life…” Please join us for a heart transmission of his teaching after meditation class on Saturday\, December 23.   Rinpoche will recite the verses in his native Tibetan from his heart with special intention\, and listeners will receive it with special intention. We will also recite Rinpoche’s writing\, “Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar.” If you can’t make it on this busy holiday weekend\, not to worry\, Rinpoche will offer a second heart transmission when he returns from his trip to India along with further classes and instruction.

SUMMARY:No Monday Night Chanted Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Typically\, Rinpoche leads chanted prayers  in Tibetan and English of Amitabha Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Light)\, but occasionally also Avalokiteshvara Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Compassion) or Medicine Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Healing).  Tonight it is a holiday\, and he is busily packing for his trip to India tomorrow.  We will not meet tonight (Dec.25th) or next week (Dec.31)\, but then we will resume again with student-led chanted prayers.  We imagine a world transformed\, purified\, and at peace.  Beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome\, prayer books are provided.  Free of charge\, but donations are welcome.
