Visit of Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, Lama Zangmo and Ani Lhamo
Awakening the Heart
Friday 13th March – Monday 16th March 2015
Visit of Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, Lama Zangmo and Ani Lhamo
Awakening the Heart
Friday 13th March – Monday 16th March 2015
TRC’s three month personal practice retreat is scheduled to begin at the same time as Lama Yeshe Rinpoche’s visit to TRC. The first 7-day period will focus on Bodhicitta practice and begin on the Monday 16th March after the weekend retreat. With this in mind, the talks by Ani Lhamo and Lama Zangmo will focus on “Training the Mind in Bodhicitta” in order to give practical advice on how to awaken your Heart-Mind and Transform bad circumstances into the Way of Enlightenment. This will include practical meditations such as Sending and Receiving and Loving-Kindness both during the weekend retreat meditation periods and during the 7 day beginning of the 3 month personal practice retreat period.
Ani Lhamo will also give specific meditation instructions that people could do during the 7 day retreat on the theme of Bringing the Mind to rest through short retreats
Please could we ask a short version of the Green Tara puja to be lead by Lama Zangmo and Ani Lhamo so that it can be recorded for the 7 day retreat and for our shop? And if that were agreeable, could we have direction of what needs to go on the CD cover and label so that we can have them printed ahead of time.
If it is possible it would be wonderful to have a guided Bodhicitta Meditation session with both Lama Zangmo and Ani Lhamo. If that is okay, we have scheduled the times of the talks to make it possible for both Lama Zangmo and Ani Lhamo to lead a guided meditation session after one of their talks I.e. Lama Zangmo will give one morning talk and one evening talk and Ani Lhamo will give one evening talk and one morning talk.
The blessing ceremony and the 7 day retreat will only happen if we get enough retreaters.
