November 8th: Takla Mebar Healing Mantra, on Full Moon

Takla Mebar Healing Mantra

Full Moon Teaching

 With Chaphur Rinpoche

November 8th, 2022,  from 9am to 10am  (PT) 

In preparation for the upcoming  Takla Mebar Retreat, December  1st  –  31st,  2022,  Chaphur Rinpoche will give teachings on the  Takla Mebar Healing Mantra.  He will also begin instructing us  on the generation and completion stages of the Takla Mebar practice. In addition,  Rinpoché will explain how these practices relate  to tantric practices  in the larger Bön Buddhist context. Following this teaching,  students are encouraged to begin accumulating mantras in preparation for the December Takla Mebar Retreat. 

Here is a short description of Takla Mebar:

 In order to overcome the power of  negative,  external forces as well as personal, negative emotions, and the obstacles they create, Tonpa Shenrab Miwo manifested as Takla Mebar (the Flaming Tiger Deity). He then subjugated the powerful,  negative forces through his compassionate,  wisdom mind,  and transformed them into kind and peaceful beings.

            Takla Mebar heals the outer poisons by transforming them into wisdom and positive attributes.  The inner negativities are transformed into the clarity of the Five Wisdoms: the wisdom of emptiness,  mirror-like wisdom, the wisdom of equality or equanimity,  discriminating wisdom, and all-accomplishing wisdom.

The Chaphur family has  been the primary  lineage holders of the Yidam Takla Mebar since the very beginning of their recorded family history. Please join us during the November Full Moon and begin to  experience the many blessings that manifest from a strong connection with the Flaming Tiger Deity,  Takla Mebar.
