Yamantaka Study Group, led by Venerable Lozang Yönten

The new, weekly Yamantaka Study group hosted by Maitripa College was encouraged by Yangsi Rinpoche as a method for deepening our practice of Yamantaka in general and specifically to create causes for the broader community to eventually do the full approximation retreat together.

We meet via Zoom on Tuesday evenings from 6-7:30pm PST. The sessions are facilitated by Venerable Yönten who studied the practice of Yamantaka Solitary Hero in depth at Chenrezig Institute, supported by her Abbot, Gyurme Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering. She has been doing the practice for many years and has led the full approximation retreat several times.

Each session will go into a specific portion of the sadhana and clarify it using many traditional commentaries. Throughout are opportunities to add knowledge, ask questions and explore experiences. The last half hour will be group practice of the short sadhana with special emphasis on the section just studied.

These sessions are only for people with active respect for and faith in the Mahayana-Vajrayana tradition and a Yamantaka empowerment, preferably Solitary Hero as opposed to 13 Deity. We request your empowerment date, place and vajra master before inclusion to this group.

Guru Puja (Lama Chöpa) on the Tibetan 10th Day
2024-11-11 15:30 - 17:00
Please join us at Maitripa College as we bring the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of practicing Guru Puja (Lama Chöpa) into our modern world and experience with our community.
Traditionally, the Guru Puja is celebrated on the 10th and 25th days of the Tibetan calendar. This puja lasts around 2 hours and consists of the recitation of a sadhana, visualizations, and prayers, including taking refuge and generating bodhicitta. Mantras, praises and requests are also usually recited. You may participate at whatever level you feel comfortable.
It is not necessary to register to attend in person; please click below to join us online by Zoom.
