Discriminating the Three Vows by Sakya Pandita (Part 6)

10:30am - 1:00pm

Sakya Pandita’s masterpiece offers a brilliant examination of the spiritual disciplines found in the Three Vehicles. Topics dealt with in this work include the reality of the Buddha nature, the ethics of a bodhisattva and the correct practice of Vajrayana.

Initiation of Marichi*

2:30 - 4:30pm

In Vajrayana the deity Marichi (Ozer Chenma ) is a very powerful protective goddess guarding the practitioner from harms caused by obstructive and negative forces. Symbolically she is regarded as the goddess of dawn, signifying the illumination that she bestows. This particular initiation is drawn from the collection known as The One Hundred Initiations of Bari Lotsawa.
