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 Green Tara
2:30 - 5:00pm
The goddess Tara is revered in all traditions of vajrayana Buddhism as the embodiment of the liberating activity of all buddhas. As such her initiation and meditation are an especially effective means of awakening one’s innate capacity for enlightened compassion.
Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
