SUMMARY:Sherab Chamma Practice with Q and A
DESCRIPTION:Sherab Chamma Practice Retreat with Q and A\nGeshe Denma Gyaltsen will review this complete and beautiful practice and we will end the year of abundant retreats with deep meditation. He invites you to ask questions and provides ample time for this during this one-day practice retreat.\nIn many cultures\, primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of wisdom\, love\, and compassion. The ancient Bön Buddhist tradition offers many methods for retrieving and connecting with this divine feminine energy\, supporting the practitioner to abide in innate wisdom and the love and compassion that radiate from that wisdom. The teachings of Sherab Chamma (Mother of Wisdom and Love) comprise one of the most important tantric cycles of Bön. \nIn this practice\, participants will learn a beautiful and simple meditation practice composed by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche to connect with the sacred feminine in her peaceful form. With the group’s support\, we create an environment to promote profound healing of our physical\, energetic/emotional\, and spiritual dimensions. \nWith visualization\, the sound of mantra\, and deep contemplation\, we make a personal connection to the universal mother\, Sherab Chamma\, and we are guided through this connection to our innate wisdom and the love and compassion that naturally radiate from that wisdom. \n\nSchedule – Saturday CST \n\n\n\nSession 1\n10:00-11:15 am\n\n\nBreak\n11:15-11:30 am\n\n\nSession 2\n11:30-12:30 pm\n\n\nMeal Break\n12:30-2:00 pm\n\n\nSession 3\n2:00-3:30 pm\n\n\n\n\nRetreat teachings and practices will be taught in English. \nLive translation will be available in Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Russian. \nWritten translations will be available in Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Russian. \n\nREGISTRATION: \nComplete payment below.  After payment is complete\, you will receive an email with links to the Zoom Registration and the Handouts.  All recordings will be made available to registered participants after the retreat is over at the same link as the Handouts. \nThere is early bird pricing available until noon the Saturday before the retreat. \nFinancial hardship need not prevent practitioners from attending Zoom teachings.  If you need assistance\, please inquire about available scholarships by emailing info@ligminchatexas.org.  This must be done at least 1 week prior to the retreat.\nWe have switched to using Zeffy.  This allows us to keep 100% of your donations and registrations\, as Zeffy does not charge us any payment processing fees.  They do\, however\, ask you to make a donation to them.  If you would prefer not to donate to Zeffy\, in the Donation Box at the bottom\, select “Other” from the Drop Down Box that is prefilled with a percentage and dollar amount \, and leave the Contribution Box empty. \n\n\n \nGeshe Denma Gyaltsen is the resident lama of Ligmincha Texas. He arrived in Houston in January 2016 to serve as Ligmincha Texas’s first resident lama. \nGeshe Denma was born in northern Nepal. His father brought him to Menri Monastery\, India\, regarded as the mother Bon monastery in exile\, in 1981 to begin his program of study toward the Geshe degree. He received all the Bon teachings\, initiations and transmissions in sutra\, tantra and dzogchen from His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche\, the 33rd Menri Trizin\, and His Eminence Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche. \nWhen he became a senior student\, he was asked to teach philosophy to younger students. He successfully completed this degree program in 1996 and was awarded the Geshe certificate\, which is considered equivalent to a Ph.D. in Bön Buddhist philosophy and religion. \nGeshe Denma was an accomplished teacher and in 1998 was appointed\, with the approval of the Tibetan government in exile\, first abbot of Zhu Rishing Yungdrung Kundak-Ling Monastery\, a Bon Monastery in Sikkim\, India by His Holiness. He served two terms in this capacity until 2003. In addition\, from the time he graduated until 2008\, Geshe Denma also was active in assisting Geshe Nyima Dakpa with the Bon Children’s Home\, which houses many children in Dolanji\, India\, providing them with food\, healthcare and free education.
