"'May all beings be freed from their suffering of feeling so separate from their buddhanature.' With that as your compassionate intention, then if you offer one butter lamp or one flower or one cookie at tsog, then how extraordinary is that offering."

The Final Meditation: Practice During the Dying Process

with Chamtrul Rinpoche (online)

Saturday, April 19th 10-12pm

The time of our death is unknown. The process of transition can be brief and sudden, or it can last for days, weeks, or months. Every moment of this time is of great value. Training the mind with meditation while we have the clarity and strength to do so deepens our faith and confidence, and can help ensure a peaceful passing. We may not be able to practice elaborate ritual as we are dying, but we can prepare by learning to focus our minds. Chamtrul Rinpoche will guide us in understanding how the simplicity of awareness during the practice of meditation will bring us to a state of peace now, and later as we enter and traverse the bardo of dying.

Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara 

April 19th, 6:30-8pm

KCC

4936 NE Skidmore St. Portland, OR.


Sacred dance is movement meditation. Just as we have rituals and practices to help cultivate our innate wisdom and compassion, linking those practices to dance and movement helps us to embody those qualities.
