10:30am - 1:00pm Understanding Vajrayana Buddhism - Discriminating the Three Vows by Sakya Pandita

This section of Sakya Pandita’s text shows us how to practice Vajrayana Buddhism correctly and how to avoid common misunderstandings and errors.

2:30pm - 4:30pm Initiation of Gonkar

Gonpo Yizhin Norbu (Gonkar) is the wealth and protection bestowing emanation of Chenrezik. His practice was originally transmitted in the Shangpa Kagyu lineage and later preserved in the Sakya tradition where it is relied upon by many meditators.

*Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
