The Owl PreceptsTeaching with Ngak´chang Rinpoche
Saturday, November 5
1 – 5pm
Aro Kha’jong - Aro Sky Meadow
273 Church Road Livingston Manor, NY, US
According to the Heart Essence Sutra of the Owl-headed Dakini,
authentic tantrikas live within the dimension of the Owl Precepts.m
The Owl Precepts—a Dzogchen view of the Five Buddhist Precepts—originate
in the gTérmas of Khyungchen Aro Lingma (1886-1923).
They contain the profound inner meaning of the Five Precepts
of the Sutras, and provide an extraordinary base for approaching Dzogchen.
The method of the Owl Precepts is a guide to undermining
the complex contrivances of dualistic view and an
inspiration to enter into the felt meaning of the view.
They are an invaluable teaching for evolving on the spiritual path.
Rinpoche will provide commentary on each precept as it relates to the context of one’s everyday life. Known for his humorous and articulate style of presenting teachings, Rinpoche encourages questions that make the material pertinent to the experience of the participants. Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen are the lineage-holders of the Aro gTér, a small lineage within the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. |
