Thursday 18 – Sunday 21 January 2024
A program of talks and empowerments will be held in the beautiful space of a traditional Tibetan temple at the Peaceful Land of Joy Meditation Centre in Yuroke from 18-21 January. We are delighted and honoured to welcome Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche to the centre.
The teaching series includes:
Three Principal Paths Teaching 7.30 pm Thursday 18 January 2024
The three principal paths encapsulate the range of the Buddha’s teachings, from entering the path of meditation and progressing through the stages to the achievement of complete enlightenment. By being familiar with the three principal paths we understand the key Buddhist concepts.
Green Tara Initiation 10 am Saturday 20 January 2024
By relying on Tara we are quickly able to achieve our goals. Practice of Green Tara helps to achieve worldly wishes and is a great support for our Dharma practice. Initiation is a blessing, but also it empowers us to be able to do Green Tara meditation practice.
Green Tara Powa Practice 2pm Saturday 20 January 2024
Powa is transference of consciousness. As our life draws to an end, the powa meditation techniques can help to transfer our consciousness at death to a pure land. A pure land rebirth provides ideal circumstances for Dharma practice and is without any form of manifest suffering.
White Tara Long Life Initiation 10 am Sunday 21 January 2024
The practice and initiation of long life White Tara are the cause of good health and long life.
White Tara Long Life Practice 2 pm Sunday 21 January 2024
Following on from the morning initiation, Rinpoche will provide instruction on how to perform long life White Tara meditation practice.
