In recent years\, these ancient practices have been brought to life in the west through the tireless teaching and writing of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\, author of Tibetan Sound Healing. The Five Warrior Syllables Practice engages the power of sound and silence to help heal physical illness\, clear psychological and energetic disturbances\, and support the spiritual practitioner to abide with clear and open awareness. \nIn our Sunday practice session\, led by Leslie Abuso\, we will spend time with all five syllables. There will be instruction\, practice and time for questions and discussion. The practice is open to all levels of practitioner. There is no fee but donations to the Ligmincha Texas Center are greatly appreciated. \n“The practice of the Five Warrior Syllables is a skillful means that can support us to release our negative and limiting behavioral patterns of body\, speech and mind.” (from “Tibetan Sound Healing” Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.) \nThere is no need to register but it is helpful if you RSVP to Leslie at 713-444-3457. \nThere is a bookstore onsite and this book is available for purchase.

This very certainty allows us as practitioners to focus our attention on the goal and do not get distracted. It is an Ocean of Wisdom and we are beginning by touching the surface. \nAni Sherab Wangmo is a nun of the Yungdrung Bön Tradition\, an authorized instructor of the Lineage\, and a practitioner for 22 years. Her name means “the nun initiated in wisdom” and her monastic vows Getsukma were bestowed by His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima\, Abbot of the Menri Monastery in India.

Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche DESCRIPTION:Bardo in Tibetan means “intermediate state” and describes any temporary state of existence – such as dreams\, meditation\, life\, and death.   Usually the term is used for the special phase between death and rebirth. The various states of the Bardo have different names and descriptions.  At the same time\, however\, essential aspects in common include separation\, transition\, awareness\, and a new beginning. In Bardo\, we are particularly sensitive and receptive to our environment. To discover the Bardo states in life and to develop an awareness of them is of great importance. With the resulting knowledge of impermanence\, we can give a new value to life and ourselves and help others on the way to the Bardo of the dying process. In all traditional texts of the original Tibetan Yungdrung Bon tradition\, various forms of Bardo appear. Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche will explain important philosophical aspects of the Bardo as described by authentic texts and show us how we can integrate the practice and awareness of Bardo in our lives.\n\n\n Weekend Retreat\nSaturday\, October 19th 10:00 am – 5:00 pm \nand Sunday \, October 20th 10:00 am – 4:00 pm \n$135  Early-Bird Registration thru October 15th\n  $150 Standard Registration \nLocation \nLigmincha Texas – 5316 Bellaire Blvd. – Bellaire TX\nRegister through the links provided above. \nFinancial hardship alone should not prevent a practitioner from attending teachings.\nSpecial payment plans are available.\nPlease contact us at info@ligminchatexas.org\n \n \n \n \n \nTeaching by Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung\n \n \n \n \n \nKhenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche is the abbot of the monastery Bon Triten Norbutse in Kathmandu\, Nepal.

The live class through Zoom video-conference occurs Sunday mornings at 9:00 am (Central Standard Time\, Houston). \nThe Tibetan Language Bön Prayers Program is pleased to announce a new course taught by Geshe Denma Gyaltsen\, the resident lama of Ligmincha Texas: Session III: The Invocation of Tapihritsa. The course focuses on the Invocation of Tapihritsa\, a marvelous twenty-three verse prayer spontaneously composed by Nangzher Lopo upon recognizing Tapihritsa who manifested in the sky above him as a radiant Buddha of white light. Following this supreme encounter\, Nangzher Lopo\, the renowned 8th-century scholar and practitioner\, was the first to set in writing the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyüd (the Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung)\, one of the most revered series of Bön dzogchen teachings. The Invocation of Tapihritsa beautifully communicates the unbounded wholeness of Bön dzogchen\, sacred narrative\, and religious art. \nGuided by Geshe Denma’s lively teaching\, students will learn Tibetan letter recognition\, correct pronunciation and melody of the invocation\, and encounter its meaning through Tibetan stories\, prominent thangka paintings\, and Bön philosophy. \nThere are no prerequisites for the course. No prior knowledge of Tibetan is needed. Whether one took Geshe-la’s previous courses on Tibetan Language Daily Prayers or is starting brand new\, the class is a great opportunity. The teachings are vast\, and the connection is fresh and lively. \n \nCourse materials include: \nTibetan Study Edition of the Invocation including Tibetan script\, Wylie transliteration\, phonetic transliteration\, word-by-word translation\, and full English translation\nTibetan Language Learning Materials to introduce the reading of Tibetan language including the alphabet with Wylie transliteration and the formation of Tibetan syllables with prefixes\, superscripts\, subscripts\, suffixes\, and secondary suffixes.\nAudio recording of the Invocation of Tapihritsa\nNew for Session III: Video recording of the line-by-line Tibetan spelling\, pronunciation\, and word meanings of the Invocation of Tapihritsa. Based in student-feedback\, this should enhance the opportunity for self-paced study and increase the time during the live classes to encounter the warmth of Geshe-la’s teaching.\nThe course implements a blended approach to online learning with both self-paced study and a weekly class. Class materials and discussion forums are hosted on the Ligmincha Learning course page\, and the weekly live-class (60 minutes) occurs through Zoom video-conference which will also be recorded. The course is co-designed with Geshe Denma as the lead teacher and Bob Clark\, an English teacher and longtime student of Tenzin Rinpoche\, as teaching-assistant.\n\n\n Zoom On Line Course Dates:  October 20 – Nov 17\, 2019\nCost: $125\nRegistration is now open.  \nFrequently Asked Questions URL:https://ligminchatexas.org/event/tibetan-language-bon-prayers-session-iii/ LOCATION:TX\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Ligmincha Texas":MAILTO:info@ligminchatexas.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20191021T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20191021T201500 DTSTAMP:20260409T173423 CREATED:20181216T224724Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190424T205019Z UID:10000269-1571684400-1571688900@ligminchatexas.org SUMMARY:Red Garuda Meditation Practice DESCRIPTION:Practice Description \n \n \n \nRed Garuda is a powerful healing practice useful in gaining confidence\, strength and for healing others as well as oneself.

In this practice we will deepen our inner connection by exploring the 5 five energy centers (chakras) with the movements of Tsa Lung. Tsa means channel and lung (chi or prana) means breath. These movements along with the visualization that accompanies them help us to clear what keeps us from recognizing and connecting to the positive qualities inherent in our true nature.\n\n\nThis practice is led by Leslie Abuso. For more information\, contact her at: leslieabuso@ligminchatexas.org.\n\nDoors open at 11:00 am. There is no fee but donations to the center are greatly appreciated.
