The Bardo (Zoom Teaching)

Teaching by Khenpo Jampa Rinpoche
Sunday, August 23
Time: 1:00 pm, Pacific Time
There is no class fee, but donations are accepted

The term Bardo is a compound word, made up of the two Tibetan words "bar" and "do". Bar means "in between" and Do means "suspended," or "thrown." Together, they have the meaning "transition," as in a transition between two states. Ven. Khenpo Jampa Rinpoche will explain to us the Six Bardos, and teach us daily practices connected with each, along with detailed instructions to prepare for the painful Bardo of dying, in order to maximize the chances of a positive rebirth.

“The Way of Invincible Love” is now available!

July 24th, 2020 marks the anniversary of the Buddha's first turning of the Wheel of Dharma in the Deer Park of Sarnath near Varanasi in India, according to the Tibetan lunar calendar. To mark this sacred day, Sakya Monastery is delighted to make H.E Avikrita Vajra Rinpoche's new book "The Way of Invincible Love" exclusively available as a digital download through our website.

The PDF eBook is freely offered but donations are encouraged to support the Marici Fellowship's ongoing activities to benefit those in need during this time.

Based on teachings first given in early 2018 in Taipei and Seattle, in "The Way of Invincible Love", H.E. Avikrita Vajra Rinpoche draws on the example of the future Buddha Maitreya, embodiment of enlightened loving kindness, and the words of his "Majestic Aspiration" to explore the key features of the Mahayana path to full enlightenment.
