Bardo teachings provide guidance on the stages of dying so we can transition with peace and consequently live with joy. \nThe Bardo is a Tibetan Buddhist concept roughly translated as “thrown between”. One of the Bardos arises between death and the next life. It is said to be much like dream (another form of Bardo)\, sleep\, and deep meditative states when the edges of reality blur. Fear of the unknown and our attachment to people and possessions can result in difficulties at the moment of death or even in the thought of death. Bardo teachings create an opportunity to learn more about how to prepare for death by seeing it as a natural process within the cycle of life. \nJoin us for a weekend with Geshe Denma Gyaltsen\, who will gently continue to explain how we can understand this transition from a Bön Buddhist perspective. \nRetreat teachings and practices will be taught in English. Live translation is available in Spanish\, Portuguese\, Polish and Russian.\n \n \n \n \nRetreat Schedule\n \n \n \n \nSATURDAY\, October 31\, 2020\nCentral Daylight Time CDT \nSession 1 10:00 – 11:15 am\nSession 2 11:30 – 12:30 pm\nMeal Break\nSession 3 1:30 – 3:00 pm \nSUNDAY\, November 1\, 2020\n***Note CHANGE to Central Standard Time CST*** \nSession 1 10:00 – 11:15 am\nSession 2 11:30 – 12:30 pm\nMeal Break\nSession 3 1:30 – 3:00 pm \nhttps://www.timeanddate.com/\n \n \n \n \nRegistration \n \n \n \nRegistration is a 2 step process.  You must complete both steps. \n\nComplete payment through PayPal by clicking this button.  IMPORTANT:  After payment is completed\, wait until you are brought back to the Ligmincha Texas website.\nComplete Zoom registration on the page you are returned to after you complete payment.  Once you are registered\, a confirmation email will be sent to you by Zoom that includes your personal link to join the retreat.\n\nMake sure to pay and complete your Zoom registration by Thursday\, October 29th so we can assure that you receive the practice materials and schedule before the retreat. \nDownload the free Zoom app in advance of the retreat by going to https://zoom.us/download. \nRetreat teachings and practices will be taught in English.

He arrived in Houston in January 2016 to serve as Ligmincha Texas’s first resident lama. \nGeshe Denma was born in northern Nepal.

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.
