Vajrasattva Practice on Chokhor Duchen
|
with Ven. Carol Corradi
online only Friday, July 24, 2020 7:00pm–9:00pm We are using the Zoom video conferencing system for this class. Click here to join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83105166878. The Vajrasattva practice purifies our mind from holding so strongly onto our mistaken view. Deluded states – pain, sorrow, hatred, pride, jealousy, doubt – lose their power by utilizing a time-tested technique that combines visualization, meditation and mantra. Our mind is purified.
Join us for an introduction to this powerful practice on Chokhor Duchen, one of the four great holy days of the Tibetan Buddhist Calendar. Everybody is welcome to attend!
This is a free event. Donations are appreciated. |

Chokhor Duchen
Also known as the Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma, Chokhor Duchen commemorates the anniversary upon which Shakyamuni Buddha first began teaching the Dharma. For seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. After this period, Indra and Brahma offered a Dharmachakra and a conch shell and requested Shakyamuni to teach. Accepting, Buddha Shakyamuni turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time at Sarnath by teaching on the four noble truths (description from the FPMT website).
