Saturday 2nd – Sunday 3rd December, 2023 (single-day attendance possible)
Hoje, sábado, Rinpoche abriu comentando algumas páginas de instruções essenciais que recebeu de Khenpo Ngaga Rinpoche. Então Rinpoche discutiu como, em uma sadhana de deidade, se dedicarmos algum tempo à contemplação de cada seção e aplicarmos diferentes níveis de recitação de mantra, isso nos tornará mais fácil trazer qualquer compreensão que tivermos da prática para nossa vida diária.
No domingo, Rinpoche oferecerá mais ensinamentos pela manhã, seguidos de contemplações e acumulações novamente usando o longo texto da Tara Vermelha como base. Os participantes podem enviar perguntas para info@padmapeace.org para que Rinpoche responda durante as sessões.
Today Saturday, Rinpoche opened by offering commentary on a few pages of pith instructions he had received from Khenpo Ngaga Rinpoche. Then Rinpoche discussed how in a deity sadhana if we spend some time on contemplation for each section, and apply different levels of mantra recitation, this makes it easier for us to bring whatever understanding we have of the practice into our daily life.
For Sunday, Rinpoche will offer more teachings in the morning, followed by contemplations and accumulations again using the long Red Tara text as a basis. Participants are welcome to send questions to info@padmapeace.org for Rinpoche to answer during the sessions.
