December 1-31st with Chaphur Rinpoche
Zoom sessions will be on Saturday, December 5th 12th 19th 26th and 31st from 7-8AM (Pacific Time)
Chaphur Rinpoche will be in personal retreat for the month of December in Taiwan. During that time, his practice will be focused on his personal Yidam, Takla Mebar. Rinpoche has been deepening his connection with his family lineage Yidam each December for many years. This year all sangha members are warmly invited to join Rinpoche in doing these powerful, healing practices from home or a chosen personal retreat location.
Every Saturday Rinpoche will give teachings via Zoom on the generation and completion stages of the Takla Mebar practice, and their relation to tantric practice in the larger Bön Buddhist context. Students will be encouraged to practice their own retreat on the deity, accumulating mantras, and engaging in other Takla Mebar practices.
Here is a short description of Takla Mebar:
In order to overcome negative forces and the personal, negative emotions and obstacles they create, Tonpa Shenrab Miwo manifested as Takla Mebar (Flaming Tiger Deity) and subjugated those evil forces through his compassionate wisdom, transforming them into compassionate and peaceful beings.
Takla Mebar heals the outer poisons by transforming them into wisdom and positive aspects. The inner negativities are transformed into the clarity of the Five Wisdoms: the wisdom of emptiness, mirror-like wisdom, wisdom of equality, discriminating wisdom, all-accomplishing wisdom. The Chaphur family have been lineage holders of this yidam since the very beginning of their recorded family history.
The teaching will be translated into Spanish and Polish
