Teachings on the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
Oct 18 (Saturday) 10:00 am – 11:30 am; 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Oct 19 (Sunday) 10:00 am – 11:30 am
"Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will be teaching on the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva written in the 14th century by the Tibetan master Gyalse Thogme Zangpo. This text offers lucid advice to practitioners on the Bodhisattva path, providing practical methods for transforming any situation into an opportunity for awakening. Ngulchu Thogme’s verses summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path as represented in the famous Bodhicaryavatara by Shantideva and are thus venerated and frequently quoted by masters of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism."
Bestowal of the Bodhisattva Vow
Oct. 19 (Sunday) 2:30 pm
"Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will bestow the Bodhisattva Vow which is the heart of the Mahayana Buddhist path. It is the affirmation that the root of true happiness and wisdom is bodhicitta, the resolve to attain enlightenment for the benefit of others. Taking and maintaining the Bodhisattva Vow reinforces bodhicitta.
It is customary for those receiving the Bodhisattva vow to bring offerings to the shrine such as fruit, incense or flowers, and to offer a kata (traditional white scarf) and monetary gift directly to the Rinpoche bestowing the vows after the ceremony to express sincerity and commitment to cultivating bodhicitta. Please arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony to set up your offerings with the help of the shrine attendant.
A Body, Speech & Mind Offering ceremony will be held at the end of Sunday afternoon’s session. Following this ceremony, the Sangha may line up to make an offering with kata (offering scarf) to Rinpoche."
