SUMMARY:Songs of Milarepa: Oral Transmission\, Teaching\, and Tsok Offering in Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Milarepa: Oral Transmission\, Teaching\, and Tsok Offering\nSunday\, June 28\, 2026\n1:00pm to 4:00pm\nIn person event only\nTeaching given in Tibetan with English consecutive interpretation (translation)\nLocation:  Wisdom Center\n740 Front St\, Suite 240 (The Galleria Community Room)\, \nSanta Cruz\, CA 95060\n \nSuggested donation:  $60.00 sliding scale\, no one turned away for lack of funds.   Registration link has option for $60.00 or $30.00 donation or you may email wisdomcenter.sc@gmail.com to register.   \nREGISTER HERE\nABOUT THE EVENT \nJoin Khenpo Karten Rinpoche for this immersion into the life and songs of the Great Tibetan Yogi Saint\, Jetsun Milarepa\, with an oral transmission\, teaching\, and tsok/ganachakra offering. Milarepa’s tragic childhood led him to train in black magic\, eventually unleashing a tide of killing and destruction. \nBut he came to regret his actions and sought and found his teacher\, Marpa\, who\, being aware that Milarepa had to purify his negative karma\, exposed him to many extremely difficult trials. Eventually\, Marpa gave Milarepa full transmissions of all the Mahamudra teachings from Naropa\, Maitripa and other Indian masters. Practicing these teachings for many years in isolated mountain retreats\, Milarepa attained enlightenment. He gained fame for his incredible perseverance in practice and for his spontaneous songs of realization. \nABOUT THE HOST \nThe Wisdom Center of Santa Cruz is a non-sectarian Buddhist teaching and meditation center.  “Our goal is to generate enlightened activity through meditation\, insight\, and compassion in individuals and community.”  See more about their teachers and schedule of events:   https://www.wisdomcentersc.org/
