Programs Calendar

This Chenrezig practice is a profound offering for the beings of the six realms. We will gather online to practice together each week at the same time. One needs to have received the transmission of these practices from a qualified teacher in order to offer this practice.

This practice group is being led by Tara Roberts. Tara has been a student of His Eminence Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche’s since 1988 and is deeply familiar with this practice.

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. MDT/6:00 p.m. PDT for the months of August and September. Tara Roberts will email the zoom link each week, so please RSVP to be on the distribution list.

The practice will include recitation of the Seven Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche as the preparation, a full recitation of the Chenrezig of the Six Realms liturgy as the main part, and dedication of merit to conclude. We will recite both the Tibetan and the English.

Please note: this Chenrezig practice session will be dedicated to the deceased. This practice can also be offered for the living, but not during the same practice session.

Please RSVP for this practice. We will send the zoom link via email for you to join the practice group.

On Sunday, October 4, H.E. Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche will give a day of teachings on the Mahayoga practice of generating and completing the deity called Thukdrup Terkha Dundu: The Guru Accomplishment that Embodies Seven Terma Treasures.

This collection of treasures, compiled by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje through the guidance of Yeshe Tsogyal, combines His Holiness’s own treasure revelation with the powerful guru practices of six other treasure revealers (Tib. terton) creating this single stream of blessings to be practiced by fortunate disciples.

Chhoje Rinpoche will teach on how to practice this extensive cycle of teachings in your daily life and upon entering into retreat. Rinpoche will give commentary and retreat guidance by Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche on this particular practice.

Those who have received the Tukdrub Terkha Dundu empowerment and other vajrayana students can attend and listen to these teachings. As a reading to support these teachings and your practice of this sadhana, Rinpoche recommends Jamgon Kongtrul’s Creation and Completion: Essential Points of Tantric Meditation.

We will be livestreaming Rinpoches teaching to registered participants. The program will begin at 10 am – 12 Noon, the 2 pm to 4 pm MST.

$60 suggested offering for both sessions.  No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Please email treasurer@pmctr.org for information about how to offer an amount of your choosing.

A global pandemic, a growing climate crisis, a deepening social divide and a looming election and its moral reckoning in the United States are forcing us to confront uncertainty in unprecedented ways.

These circumstances are revealing impermanence and interdependence, two of Buddhism’s most important teachings, in felt experiences of stress and trauma that become increasingly difficult to ignore. Mindfulness, a powerful meditation technique taught by Buddha, enables us to develop a compassionate relationship to our experience and as such lays a foundation for healing and transformation.

Mind-training, a practice followed by Buddhist practitioners in different forms for centuries, uproots habitual thinking patterns based on the erroneous belief that the world exists in the way we think it does. Join us as we integrate mindfulness with mind-training techniques in exploring the seminal teaching by Gyalse Tokme Zangpo, The Thirty-Seven Practices of All the Bodhisattvas.

The program will be held over four evenings; Friday, and Saturday, October 16th and 17th then October 23rd and 24th, Each session will begin at 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. MST . The suggested donation for the program is $30 per session.

Each session will be hosted via Zoom conferencing software. Links will either be sent with your order confirmation, or no fewer than one hour before the start of the event.
