CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM By Chogyam Trungpa
In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he said, "even spirituality." His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick we all play on ourselves and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for nearly thirty years, and remains fresh as ever today.(reference: Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism). Please RSVP below.Schedule
An exploration of CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM by Chögyam Trungpa, a 1973 classic from the meditation/dharma master who helped popularize Tibetan Buddhism in the West. We offer a lively and in-depth discussion group, in HYBRID format (simultaneously in-person at PMC and online) chapter by chapter, exploring common misperceptions involved in anyone’s spiritual journey. We meet from 6:45 - 8:30pm, generally every other Monday. We will skip Presidents' Day, so there will be a longer gap between the February 5th and the Feb. 26th meetings. All sessions are online via zoom, the link is below. Updated Time and dates for the coming months.Content:

CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM By Chogyam Trungpa
In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he said, "even spirituality." His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick we all play on ourselves and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for nearly thirty years, and remains fresh as ever today.(reference: Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism). Please RSVP below.Schedule
An exploration of CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM by Chögyam Trungpa, a 1973 classic from the meditation/dharma master who helped popularize Tibetan Buddhism in the West. We offer a lively and in-depth discussion group, in HYBRID format (simultaneously in-person at PMC and online) chapter by chapter, exploring common misperceptions involved in anyone’s spiritual journey. We meet from 6:45 - 8:30pm, generally every other Monday. We will skip Presidents' Day, so there will be a longer gap between the February 5th and the Feb. 26th meetings. All sessions are online via zoom, the link is below. Updated Time and dates for the coming months.Content:

Join our Ngondro Practice group on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm MST via Zoom.
PMC hosts a preliminary practices (ngondro) practice group for those who are doing (or have completed) the Dudjom Tersar ngondro practice and the requisite accumulations. The benefits of this beautiful, profound, and supportive practice are immediate and far-reaching.Requirements:
One needs to have received the transmission of these practices from a qualified teacher in order to offer this practice. You may attend any session you like, however, attending from the beginning of the session to the end is requested.
Host: Tara Roberts has been a student of His Eminence Chhoje Rinpoche’s since 1986 and is deeply familiar with this practice. Dates and Time: Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. MT / 6:30 p.m. PT Practice Session Length and Description: The session will last for one hour. It will include the recitation of 21 Vajrasattva mantras and 300 Vajra Guru mantras. We will recite both the Tibetan and the English. To minimize the audio disruption, participants will be muted during the actual practice. Texts: We will be using the Yeshe Melong translation of the basic preliminary practice text. We will also begin with opening prayers and conclude with dedication prayers. We will distribute copies of the texts we plan to recite, including the specific translations of opening and closing prayers to those who RSVP above. Reference Reading: A review of A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom, the Complete Instructions on the Preliminary Practices by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje is recommended. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche taught that the realization of the Great Perfection depends entirely on these preliminary practices. Detailed instructions for how to do the practice are contained in this reference book. Access: We will host this program via Zoom conferencing software. Before the session, make sure your device is running the most updated Zoom software.Offerings
