SUMMARY:WINTER RETREAT on BUDDHA VAIROCANA

This “cosmic Buddha” is called Mahāvairocana and is beyond all conception of worldly duality\, but its essence is within all phenomena (dharmas) as their Buddha-nature or “seed-to-enlightenment” (Bodhicitta).  \n\n\n\nIn Esoteric Buddhism\, enlightenment means to realize that one’s own Buddha-nature is identical with Mahāvairocana and can even be achieved in this lifetime while possessing a human body. \n\n\n\nPARTICIPATION PREREQUISITES FOR TEACHINGS & MEDITATION SESSIONS: \n\n\n\nThose who  \n\n\n\n–       have already received the initiation of Buddha Vairocana from a qualified master \n\n\n\n–       OR will participate in the initiation of Buddha Vairocana conferred by Khenpo Tashi Sangpo Lag at the beginning of the retreat on 26.12. at 16.00 o’clock to the participants in the temple (without streaming) \n\n\n\nTRANSLATIONS: \n\n\n\nThe teachings will be given in English and translated into French.  \n\n\n\nTranslations in another language – Italian\, German\, and Dutch– will be arranged if we receive a min. number of requests per language by 10 December 2023. \n\n\n\nPROGRAM OF THE RETREAT: \n\n\n\nTuesday 26 December 2023 \n\n\n\n16.00 – 18.00 Initiation to Buddha Vairocana (no streaming\, only for participants in the temple) \n\n\n\n18.30 – 19.30 Welcome & first meditation session on Buddha Vairocana. \n\n\n\nWednesday 27 December – Sunday 31 December 2023 \n\n\n\n07.00 – 08.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n10.00 – 11.30 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n14.00 – 15.30 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana \n\n\n\n17.00 – 18.00 Teaching on the sadhana and quality of Buddha Vairocana  \n\n\n\n18.00 – 19.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana & Mahakala ritual. \n\n\n\nMonday 1 January 2024 \n\n\n\n07.00 – 08.00 Meditation on Buddha Vairocana & Long-life prayers for Their Holinesses  \n\n\n\nEnd of the retreat. \n\n\n\n10.00 – 11.00 Tara Ritual (optional) \n\n\n\nCONTRIBUTION:  \n\n\n\nMin. € 70.- for online or on-site retreat (not including food and accommodation).  \n\n\n\nFor on-site retreat\, and after pre-registering specifying your wishes for accommodation and meals\, you will receive a specific e-mail indicating your contribution to the costs. \n\n\n\nYou can make your payment in one of the ways described at https://sakyatsechenling.eu/en/online-payment/ . \n\n\n\nWe thank you much in advance. \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION & PARTICIPATION LINK: \n\n\n\nIn order to participate\, we invite you to register by clicking HERE FOR ONLINE RETREAT or HERE FOR ON-SITE RETREAT until 10 December 2023 at the latest.  \n\n\n\nThose who wish to participate on-site are invited to register early as the number of places is limited. \n\n\n\nTogether with the receipt/confirmation of your registration you will receive further information and for online retreat the participation link.

In this beginners course we will use the meditation on Avalokiteshvara to develop compassion. \n\n\n\nThe practical composition and constructive structure ensures that after the course you can continue to meditate independently at home with the help of the handouts. Meditating with each other is guided and then mainly in silence with feedback moments. We also pay attention to your posture. The course is given in the Sakya center and via the online platform Jitsi\, we meditate on a chair\, cushion or bench. Mats\, meditation cushions and benches are provided. Please bring your own pair of warm socks and/or shawl. \n\n\n\nCOST \n\n\n\n€ 10 per morning; 5 euros for people with a minimum income. If this is still too burdensome\, then this can be deviated from in consultation. This course is free for participants who pay an annual contribution to Sakya (in one lump sum or monthly). \n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR THE COURSE: link

SUMMARY:THE THREE TURNINGS OF THE DHARMA WHEEL\, part 2: THE ABSENCE OF CHARACTERISTICS
DESCRIPTION:Teachings by: CHRISTIAN BERNERT \n\n\n\nDate: 2-3 DECEMBER \n\n\n\nTime: Saturday & Sunday 10.00 – 12.00 & 13.30 – 15.30 \n\n\n\nPlace: Thupten Changchup Ling\, Arosio/CH & ZOOM \n\n\n\nLanguage: EN \n\n\n\nTranslations available: ITSuggested donation: 30 CHF/ 25 € https://sakyafamily.eu/donations-ch \n\n\n\n\nThe Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel \n\n\n\nTo guide his disciples to liberation and awakening\, the Buddha’s gave a wide range of teachings adapted to their individual needs and capacities. These teachings were later grouped together into three classes of teachings referred to as the Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel\, each turning revealing another essential dimension of the path. In the summer seminars over the course of the next three years (2022-2024)\, we will discuss each of these classes of teachings in turn.  \n\n\n\n2022: The Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel\, part 1: Freedom from Samsara \n\n\n\nIn the First Turning of the Dharma Wheel\, the main topic of the Buddha’s teaching is the Four Noble Truths. This teaching is the foundation for the entire system of Buddhist thought and practice of all traditions and lineages. In this seminar\, the discussion of this topic will be supported by a reading of the Sutra of the Turning of the Dharma Wheel and explore important related aspects of the Abhidharma teachings. \n\n\n\n2023: The Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel\, part 2: The Absence of Characteristics \n\n\n\nThe special topic of the Second Turning of the Dharma Wheel is the profound wisdom of emptiness. This was expounded at great length in the Perfection of Wisdoms Sūtras and later commented upon by many great masters\, most notably Ārya Nāgārjuna and the teachers of the Madhyamaka school. \n\n\n\nIn this seminar we will explore the notion of reality as taught in the Sūtra of Perfection of Wisdom. Our study of the ‘Heart Sūtra’ will be based on a commentary by a great Sakya master\, Rongton Sheja Kunrig\, and accompanied by an introduction to the middle way school (Madhyamaka). \n\n\n\n2024: The Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel\, part 3: Luminous Mind and the Three Natures \n\n\n\nIn the Third Turning of the Dharma Wheel\, the Buddha taught what is known as the definitive meaning of his teachings. In this class of teachings\, the Buddha revealed extraordinary teachings on the mind\, buddha nature and profound ways to understand conventional and ultimate reality\, in this way complementing the earlier teachings. The exploration of this topic will be supported by readings from the Sūtra on Buddha Nature\, the Sūtra on the Descent into Lanka\, and the Sūtra Unraveling the Intent. \n\n\n\nChristian Bernert \n\n\n\nOf Franco-Austrian background\, Christian grew up in Vienna and lived for about five years in Kathmandu. His connection with the Buddhadharma was formally forged in 1999 under the guidance of his first teacher\, the late Khenchen Sherab Gyaltsen Amipa Rinpoche. He received an MA in religious studies and Tibetology from the University of Vienna in 2009\, followed by a two-year translator training at the International Buddhist Academy (IBA) in Kathmandu\, where he had participated in yearly summer programs since its inception in 2001. A founding member of the Chödung Karmo Translation Group\, the vision of which is the translation of important works of the Sakya tradition\, he continues to work closely with IBA. He currently coordinates for IBA The Complete Path program with His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra\, a seven-year course on the core theory and practice of the Sakya lineage. In 2021 he joined the in-house translators team of the Khyentse Vision Project\, the mission of which is the translation of the collected works of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.   \n\n\n\nChristian has published translations of classical Tibetan texts on Buddhist thought and practice\, as well as teachings of contemporary masters. His publications include Words of a Gentle Sage: Collected Teachings of Khenchen Appey Rinpoche\, Vol. 1 (2018)\, Adorning Maitreya’s Intent: A Commentary on the Madhyāntavibhāga by Rongtön Sheja Kunrik (2017)\, and various sūtras for 84000. \n\n\n\nChristian currently lives in Hoi An\, Vietnam. In his spare time\, he looks after another project close to his heart—the Bodhisvara Project—recordings of classical Buddhist texts chanted in Sanskrit.  \n\n\n\nJoin us at the temple in Arosio (CH): \n\n\n\nPlease register at least two days before the event to participate in person in Arosio (using the link below). \n\n\n\n\nAROSIO\n\n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting on Zoom at least one day in advance. \n\n\n\nYou will receive a confirmation email from “Sakya Dharma Family Admin” with the Zoom link to participate (click “Click Here To Join”) on the day of the event. \n\n\n\n\nZOOM
