PROGRAMME
Led by: Lama Rinchen
Seminar begins on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and ends on Sunday at about 5 p.m.
Saturday 7 December at 10:30 a.m. – Green Tara empowerment.
Tara, known as Dolma in Tibetan, is an emanation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion. She embodies the activity of all Buddhas, especially protective aspect of compassion of all Buddhas. It is said that Tara protects against all kinds of dangers and fears. She is also known as "The one, who fulfils all wishes". Both in the past and in the presence, many great masters regarded Green Tara as their Yidam.
We will focus on a short and non-complicated version of practise, which is best adjusted to be applied in everyday life.
There will be also a short introduction to the "Four Mandala Offerings" ritual, known as the Green Tara puja. This particular practise originates from the tradition of New Termas cicle of Chokgyur Lingpa (Chokling Tersar) and in known as "Zab Thik Dolma". This puja is recited each morning in all Karma Kagyu monasteries.
This practice belongs to kriya tantras and for this reason it is prohibited to eat meat, onion, garlic or leek or to drink any alcohol, before performing it. It is important to remember this during Saturday breakfeast!
