The Vajrasattva practice purifies our mind from holding so strongly onto our mistaken view. Deluded states – pain, sorrow, hatred, pride, jealousy, doubt – lose their power by utilizing a time-tested technique that combines visualization, meditation and mantra. Our mind is purified. Join us for an introduction to this powerful practice on led by our beloved Discovering Buddhism teacher, Venerable Gyalten Palmo on Chokhor Duchen, one of the four great holy days of the Tibetan Buddhist Calendar.
More about Chokhor Duchen-
Also known as the Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma, Chokhor Duchen commemorates the anniversary upon which Shakyamuni Buddha first began teaching the Dharma. For seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. After this period, Indra and Brahma offered a Dharmachakra and a conch shell and requested Shakyamuni to teach. Accepting, Buddha Shakyamuni turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time at Sarnath by teaching on the four noble truths.
