SUMMARY:Study Group on the Ornament of Precious Liberation

The class is open to all levels of experience\, and anyone is welcome to join at any time without attending previous sessions.

SUMMARY:Thursday evenings - Alternating Practices: Medicine Buddha and Chenrezig

If you would like to participate remotely\, please use our online event registration form. \n  \nFirst and third Thursday of each month | Medicine Buddha Practice and The Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness  \n \nPlease join us as we chant this essential practice which can increase our healing powers so that we can help those in our lives who are struggling with illness and obstacles and also remove our own physical and mental suffering.

By practicing it with awareness\, you can attain Chenrezig’s enlightened body\, speech\, and mind.” \n  \nThe liturgies are being screen shared and are translated as well as written phonetically. You can chant along\, or silently read the translation. \nThese sessions are free of charge. \n  \nPlease do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever. \nWe urge all program participants to take precautions against the ongoing risk of COVID through protection such as having up-to-date vaccinations\, wearing a good-quality mask indoors\, washing hands and maintaining physical distance. \nMasks and hand sanitizer will be available at all entryways. \nMany thanks to all of you for your support in keeping this event as safe as possible! \n

SUMMARY:Nyungne Retreat - The Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig
DESCRIPTION:The resident sangha of PTC will be practicing 8 consecutive sets of Nyungne (the Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig). This retreat will be held during the auspicious month of Saga Dawa\, the month commemorating the birth\, enlightenment and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is said that\, during this time\, the merit accumulated through performing virtuous activity is multiplied 100\,000 times. \nThe Nyungne practice is a profound kriya tantra meditation ritual based on loving-kindness and compassion in the form of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig.  The practice involves maintaining strict vows and meditating while reciting mantras and prayers\, and performing prostrations and visualizations. Undertaken in sets of two days\, the first day includes one vegetarian meal at noon\, drinking water throughout the day as needed. The second day is a complete fast performed in noble silence. The Nyungne is renowned as a superior means to purify negative karma and accumulate great merit. \nChenrezig himself declared that completing even one Nyungne prevents rebirth in the lower realms\, and the practice of eight consecutive Nyungne leads to birth in Amitabha’s pure land of Dewachen. \n  \nThe dates for each set are as follows:\n\nSet 1   Begins May 27 (Tuesday) at 5:30 am.  Ends May 29 (Thursday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 2   Begins May 29 (Thursday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 31(Saturday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 3   Begins May 31 (Saturday at 5:00 am.  Ends June 2 (Monday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 4   Begins June 2 (Monday) at 5:00 am.  Ends June 4 (Wednesday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 5   Begins June 4 (Wednesday) at 5:00 am.  Ends June 6 (Friday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 6   Begins June 6 (Friday) at 5:00 am.  Ends June 8 (Sunday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 7   Begins June 8 (Sunday) at 5:00 am.  Ends June 10 (Tuesday) about 8:00 am.\nSet 8   Begins June 10 (Tuesday) at 5:00 am.  Ends June 12 (Thursday) about 8:00 am. \n  \nThis event is in-person only.  It will not be accessible remotely. \n  \nGuests are welcome to participate in any or all of the Nyungne sets but please note – it is necessary to arrive at PTC by 8:00 pm the evening before any set as the practice begins as early as 5:00 am every day throughout the retreat. \nGuests attending a nyungne for the first time must speak to Lama Dechi before doing this practice.

SUMMARY:Study Group on the Ornament of Precious Liberation
DESCRIPTION:This class will be facilitated by Lamas Depa and Lhadrun. Our primary source\, Ornament of Precious Liberation\, by the great master of the Kagyu lineage\, Lord Gampopa\, is considered a spiritual classic of Tibetan Buddhism.

The class is open to all levels of experience\, and anyone is welcome to join at any time without attending previous sessions. There is no charge for participating. \n  \nThese classes are being offered in person and on Zoom. If you would like to participate remotely\, please use our online event registration form. \nPlease do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever. \nWe urge all program participants to take precautions against the ongoing risk of COVID through protection such as having up-to-date vaccinations\, wearing a good-quality mask indoors\, washing hands and maintaining physical distance. \nMasks and hand sanitizer will be available at all entryways. \nMany thanks to all of you for your support in keeping this event as safe as possible!

SUMMARY:Thursday evenings - Alternating Practices: Medicine Buddha and Chenrezig

If you would like to participate remotely\, please use our online event registration form. \n  \nFirst and third Thursday of each month | Medicine Buddha Practice and The Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness  \n \nPlease join us as we chant this essential practice which can increase our healing powers so that we can help those in our lives who are struggling with illness and obstacles and also remove our own physical and mental suffering.

By practicing it with awareness\, you can attain Chenrezig’s enlightened body\, speech\, and mind.” \n  \nThe liturgies are being screen shared and are translated as well as written phonetically. You can chant along\, or silently read the translation. \nThese sessions are free of charge. \n  \nPlease do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever. \nWe urge all program participants to take precautions against the ongoing risk of COVID through protection such as having up-to-date vaccinations\, wearing a good-quality mask indoors\, washing hands and maintaining physical distance. \nMasks and hand sanitizer will be available at all entryways. \nMany thanks to all of you for your support in keeping this event as safe as possible! \n
