SUMMARY:Ligmincha Texas Healing Practice for World Peace
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has completely changed the world. This past year has been difficult and most challenging. Now\, it is starting to get better and better. \nWe can fight the virus by continuing to follow COVID-19 precautions (e.g. wearing a mask\, physical distancing\, getting a vaccine)\, doing prayers\, and practicing to meet this challenging time. If we do this\, it will end soon. \nWe cannot blame anyone for the virus. No one has made this virus\, this kind of disease comes and goes. In the Buddhist text\, it says there are 404 types of diseases and 80\,000 obstacles by the gek. We need to eliminate these obstacles and diseases by prayer. Many people may experience anxiety and anger that can automatically come out when under duress. When this happens\, it is important that we do not blame anyone. By doing this\, it becomes worse. \nNow\, we will practice peace in the world to make life happier for all at this time. Ligmincha Texas will do prayers for World Peace and Healing for everyone by practicing the Sipe Gyalmo Healing Practice (Queen of Existence) and The Precious Garland for those who have died from racial violence and COVID-19. \nBring mala and a bottle of water. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Tibetan Dream Yoga:  Awake While Dreaming with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche! - Friday Talk
DESCRIPTION:How do we make distinctions between dreaming\, deep sleep\, and being awake? Is there a way to experience the differences – and similarities – between these three states? Explore your dreams in this weekend retreat with Tibetan Bön Master and founder of Ligmincha Texas and Ligmincha International\, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche!\n\n\nThe Jung Center’s Executive Director\, Sean Fitzpatrick\, will join Rinpoche for a Friday evening talk and conversation about dreaming from both the Tibetan and Jungian perspectives.\n\n\nThen\, retreat into practice and teaching with Rinpoche for the weekend\, and invite an experience of the thread connecting our sleeping\, dreaming\, and waking consciousnesses.

All are welcome!\n\n\nThere is a separate registration for in-person and Zoom participation. A separate registration link is also available for the Friday night session only. The Full weekend registration includes the Friday night event.\n\n\nFor in-person attendees\, Rinpoche’s newest revised and updated version of his book\, Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep will be available to purchase and for a book signing following the Friday evening talk.\n\n\nLive audio translations (Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Russian) will be available.\n\nPlease register through the Jung center at the links below. \nFriday In Person\nFriday On Line \nFull Weekend In Person\nFull Weekend On line \nOnline Auction\nhttps://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/2023-ligmincha-texas-auction-36030 \nLive Auction Items Preview\nhttps://ligminchatexas.org/2023-live-auction-items/
