SUMMARY:16th Karmapa’s Guru Yoga Practice
DESCRIPTION:\nTo find happiness and support on the path to full awakening for the benefit of the world, we need to rely on spiritual friends. The practice of guru yoga is, therefore, a profound method to connect with the heart of our teacher and lineage of dharma masters, to receive blessings and help us move away from negative qualities, and cultivate positive qualities in terms of body, speech, and mind.\n\n\n\nRainfall of Nectar\n\n\n\nThe Guru Yoga Sadhana, “Rainfall of Nectar,”  composed by the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, is elegantly concise and contains the essential pith instructions of the Vajrayana tradition. \n\n\n\nEvery First Saturday of the Month\n\n\n\nEvery first Saturday of the month, we offer an opportunity to practice His Holiness the 16th Karmapa’s Guru Yoga together. Regardless of whether you are familiar with the practice and who you consider to be your personal teacher, this practice allows us to connect with the enlightened qualities of the Buddha and, in a way, truly become the activity of the Karmapa, embodying the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion. \n\n\n\nRegistration, Offerings & Donations\n\n\n\nMaking an offering or donation is optional and is not required to register for our monthly 16th Gyalwang Karmapa’s Guru Yoga Practice. You can join for free by selecting a ‘free ticket’. If you would like to make a donation to support the stupa project or make an offering to our teachers and resident monastics, please choose an option below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFulfilling Our Aspirations\n\n\n\nAfter selecting a ‘free ticket’ or making an offering below, the Zoom link and other practical information will be delivered in a confirmation email. \n\n\n\nWe warmly invite you to join us and together fulfill all aspirations for ourselves and others through our devotion and virtuous activities. \n\n\n\nOnline activities like are sometimes also onsite. We will notify all registrants ahead of time. You are welcome beforehand to enjoy a cup of tea/coffee and lunch afterwards.\n\n\n\nKarmapa Khyenno!\n
