Invitation to weekly meditations from

Lama Khemsar Rinpoche

Human Life, no matter how successful, rich, famous and powerful one may be, is incomplete without taking spiritual path! Life doesn't end after death but continues in Bardo (consciousness). For this, one must prepare here and now without any delay. Taking spiritual path will determine the next rebirth. Even if one couldn't attain enlightenment at this stage, one will not fall into lower realms but will have another opportunity to continue on the path, eventually attaining enlightenment for oneself and for the benefit of all sentient beings! The Human birth you have now is very precious and rare in this that, each one could attain buddhahood in this body and life!!!

Meet a Lama or Spiritual Master now, receive empowerments, transmissions and instructions accordingly and engage in the process!

"My love and prayers to you, your family and friends"

Dear students, I am writing to you personally to invite each and every one of you - students, family, friends to join in the warmth and fellowship of our meditations which take place at our local centres:

UK: Every WEDNESDAY (in Scotland), WEDNESDAY (Wales, Carlisle and Avebury) and MONDAY (in London),evenings throughout the year. All are Welcome!

EUROPE: Every WEDNESDAY (Ticino-Switzerland and Bern), WEDNESDAY (Sarzana, Italy) and TUESDAY (Torino, Italy). All are Welcome!

USA: Every WEDNESDAY (Miami, FL, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland) and WEDNESDAY (Nevada-LV). All are Welcome!

The first part (7:30pm-9:30pm) of the meditation is open to general public and the focus of these evenings is on the Dzogchen Ngondro foundation practices which employ a combination of mantra, visualisation and meditation. Whilst these are generally associated with the Ancient Buddhism of Tibet, their essence has Universal Application and can be adapted and utilized by anyone – regardless of the faith or belief system one ascribes to...

The second part (9:30pm-10:30pm) of the meditation is only for the students of Drub-dhe who have at least received Dzogchen Ngondro. In this, Drubdra-was will practice one Dzogchen Ngo-zhi practice as allocated each week.


When I am in each area, I conduct the practices in person – providing with additional men-ngak/ esoteric commentary and insights as we go along. If I am not there, my students take turns at leading the practices. We start at 7:30pm and finish the first part at approximately 9:30pm. The second part will resume without delay and conclude by 10:30pm. However, if you find it difficult to get there for the start, please don't worry about it – just slip in quietly when you arrive..


These sessions are FREE of charge, however, if you wish to make donations, these are always most welcome and are used to help with the Rent expenses. Offerings such as flowers, incense, candles, food etc. can be brought in by you and dedicated for the benefit of yourself, your family/friends, etc. - this being a positive karmic act - If you wish to sponsor one evening of prayers for a particular purpose, please advise your local named organizer in order that this may be done in the manner I have prescribed. To sponsor means making a TSHOG offering, providing a dinner or a light supper and offer kuyon (Holy offering) to the practioners who are present. The practioners will in return collectively recite Dutri-su (one of the three essence Mantras) in an authentic and quality way dedicating the benefit for the subject one requested as well as for the benefit of all sentient beings!

DZOCHEN NGONDRO

To receive further Ngozhi teachings, it is essential to practice and get familiar with Dzogchen Ngondro! You must know that Dzogchen Ngondro forms the foundation of all Ngozhi principal teachings within the Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen. Simply receiving teachings no matter from whom without putting them into practice could end up building academic ego! Practice makes perfection!

 

 

PRAYER OF INDISCRIMINATE LOVE:

May all the sentient beings that are

encompassed by the SKY be enriched with

happiness and the cause of happiness!

May all the sentient beings be parted from

suffering and the causes of suffering!

May all sentient beings never be

separated from the happiness of the

Eternal state of consciousness!

May the minds of all sentient beings abide

in the state of equipoise, in which there

exists neither happiness nor unhappiness!

Lama Khemsar
