______________________________________________

Gar Drolma Buddhist Center was founded in 2002 by His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, a high lama in the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. We offer many weekly programs which are intended to assist the spiritual development of experienced practitioners as well as new students. The center has authentic Buddhist teachers, both local and visiting, who represent an authentic and unbroken lineage of Buddhist training.

Gar Drolma Schedule Monday January 23- Sunday January 29, 2012

Monday
Chenrezik Practice | Time: 6:00-7:30pm
With Rinzin Khando  
The Chenrezig mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG HRI means "May the Jewel (of Compassion and Wisdom) arise in the Lotus (of one's purified body, speech and mind)." By chanting Chenrezig's mantra, practitioners acquire a vast amount of merit, which is then dedicated toward the enlightenment of all beings.
With Rinzin Khando

Tuesday
GONGCHIG, THE SAME INTENT TEACHING | Time: 7-9pm
with Khenpo Samdrup
Khenpo will focus his teachings on the two truths, the three turnings of the Dharma wheel and how karma works based on virtuous and nonvirtuous actions.

Wednesday
GONGCHIG, THE SAME INTENT TEACHING | Time: 7-9pm
with Khenpo Samdrup

Thursday
Chenrezik Practice & Achi Chokyi Drolma | Time: 6:00-7:30pm

Sunday
Temple Opens | 8:30am

White Tara & Achi Chokyi Drolma Practice | 10-11am
Ngondro Teaching | 11-11:30am
Khenpo Samdrup will continue teaching on the Preliminary Practices.

Ngondro means "something which precedes." In a direct and very practical way, these preliminary practices of Tibetan Buddhism are methods which allow us, most efficiently, to purify negativity and accumulate merit. They bring forth our fullest potential, while removing the veils which keep us from experiencing and expressing our Enlightened nature.
