Chenrezik Sadhana: Two Teaching and Practice Sessions Led by Mitra Tyler Dewar

* November 27, 2023: 5-6:30pm Pacific Time
* December 4, 2023: 5-6:30pm Pacific Time

Hosted via Zoom by The Contemplative Resource Center (CRC) and Nalandabodhi Texas

During the Treasury of Knowledge Retreat in October 2023 (hosted by CRC), as part of his teachings on how to cultivate wisdom and compassion during dark times, the wonderful Buddhist master Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche gave an oral transmission and shared a specially arranged liturgy for the sādhana ("method of accomplishment") of the great bodhisattva and Buddhist deity Chenrezik (Skt. Avalokiteshvara), originated from a sadhana composed by the accomplished Tibetan master Thangtong Gyalpo . To deepen our appreciation and experience of Rinpoche's blessing, and to share this powerful and healing practice with a broader group of interested individuals, two sessions will be offered via Zoom and will include teachings by Mitra Tyler Dewar on how to practice the sādhana and actual practice of the sādhana itself, including recitation of the famed mantra of compassion, OM MANI PADME HUM.

Attendance at both events is free and there will be opportunities to make donations to the presenters and to the hosting organizations to support their work.

We warmly invite you to join us during these times of turmoil to engage in this special meditation practice and share deep prayers for all sentient beings to experience healing, peace, wellness, and liberation.

The teachings and practice will be in English, with Chinese translation. The Sadhanas for both language will be available after registration.
