Saturday,
&
In these
sessions Rinpoche will teach how to transform our deepest challenges into
sources of happiness and genuine spiritual development by learning to live in a
state of exceptional compassion. The teaching will be based on the famous Mind
Transformation text, The 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva, composed by
Ngulchu Thogme Sangpo.
Sunday, May 25,
Rinpoche will begin this session by teaching a simple but powerful method of meditation, suitable for beginning and experienced practitioners alike. During the second part of the session, Rimpoche will offer a White-Tara Long Life empowerment that will teach students how to nourish and protect life force by meditating on White Tara, a beloved feminine manifestation of the Bodhisattva of compassion. Rinpoche will provide a short ceremony for those interested in taking refuge at the conclusion of this teaching.

About the Presenter
Phagyab Rinpoche is an accomplished practitioner of “tsa-lung” meditation, a Tantric technique for volitionally directing prana, or life energy, to open the chakras of the subtle body and accelerate healing. In 1993 he was recognized by the Dalai Lama to be the reincarnation of a venerated Buddhist teacher from Kham, eastern Tibet, and was requested to return there to assume traditional teaching responsibilities. After several years in Tibet teaching to wide audiences, Rinpoche incurred life-threatening injuries and fled back to India. Arriving in the United States in 2003, Rinpoche underwent a journey of radical self-healing through meditation that has inspired doctors, students, friends, and audiences across the country.
