Dear Dharma Friends,
This Tuesday is Introduction to Practice at 7pm (online only). Our Wednesday evening yidam practice is Chenrezig this week at 7pm. Saturday is Vajrasattva practice at 9am. This Sunday we will be offering King of Aspiration Prayers and Achi Chokyi Drolma practice and meditation at 10am.
Venerable Lama Kalsang will be departing for Nepal later this week in order to assist with the Dam-Ngak Dzo, (The Treasury of Instructions) teachings at Rinchen Ling monastery, and will be away until mid-December. While he is away we will continue our regular practices at TRTCC on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Sundays we will have Jigten Sumgon Guru Yoga practice on the first weekend of the month, and Achi Chokyi Drolma practice on the other weekends. Both will include King of Aspiration Prayers meditation and recitation.
Please be advised: Masks remain optional for our in person practices at the center but we encourage you to please act with caution. We do ask that only fully vaccinated people come in to the center. We will be running the air purifier in the common area. If you are not feeling well or have had a recent exposure to COVID, please ensure that you are negative with a home test before coming in or please join us online.
May the illumination of wisdom teachings shine through all obscurations of our mind, and may our practices be beneficial to all beings!
