Walking the Path of the Buddha

November 21, 2015 - November 22, 2015

WALKING THE PATH OF THE BUDDHA
LOPÖN BARBARA RYAN

Barbara-Ryan
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2015
9:30 AM – 5:30 PM

The path of the nine yanas (or journeys) provides an overview of the Buddhist teachings and was generously taught by H.E. Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche on her recent visit to Osel Ling. This one-day program will provide the opportunity to review and explore more fully the first three of these yanas: God and Human Yana, Shravakayana, and Pratekyabuddhayana.

Spending more time with each of these yanas is helpful in increasing our understanding of their view and skillfulness and in learning more about the way in which they are a natural expression of our meditative journey. With this perspective we can more easily benefit from each opportunity on the journey towards awakened mind.

Open to Everyone, this program is for those who attended Rinpoche’s August 2015 teachings, as well as those who were not able to be there. $75 tuition.

NGONDRO PRACTICE INTENSIVE
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2015

All ngondro practitioners are invited to take time out of your busy schedules to join together for a day dedicated to ngondro practice.

Contact Resident Director Julie Heegaard at mindrolling.osel.ling@gmail.com for more information.

All sangha members and friends are invited to attend the Sunday morning talk beginning at 11:30 am and are welcome to join in the afternoon practice session by doing one’s own practice quietly in the back while the ngondro students do theirs in the front.

Lopön Barbara Ryan is a senior student of Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche, and the Head of the Office of Practice and Study at Mindrolling Lotus Garden. She developed a strong connection with the Osel Ling Sangha through her week-long visits in both April and August this year.
