NYC: Khachab Rinpoche Vll - Mahamudra & Tantra

Post by dpf108 »

NYC March 12-13, 2016

Join us as Rinpoche returns to New York to teach on the relationship between tantra and Mahamudra. Rinpoche will be presenting the key points of tantra and how we can use the skillful means of the tantric path in order to realize the state of Mahamudra. Mahamudra is the pinnacle teaching in Tibetan Buddhism. Considered among the rarest teachings available today, the Mahamudra path is one of the most direct, powerful and simple methods by which one can understand the nature of the mind. An experienced teacher and practitioner of Mahamudra, this weekend provides a rare opportunity to practice and study alongside a truly qualified guide and master capable of offering practical methods for understanding the depths of Mahamudra practice.

Venerable Younge Khachab Rinpoche VII
Younge Khachab Rinpoche, seventh in the Khachab line of reincarnations, is a direct descendent of the famed terton, Younge Migyur Dorje and holds the family lineage for this cycle of termas. His family has been closely associated with the Karmapas since the 17th century. He is a highly accomplished non-sectarian master, having been educated at Ganden and Rumtek. He has studied widely with the top masters in the Kagyu, Gelug, Nyingma, Sakya and Bon schools. He received his Geshe degree from Ganden University and was appointed Khenpo of a Kagyu monastery in Nepal where he served for several years. Rinpoche's style of teaching is direct, warm, and engaging. He is accessible and takes personal interest in his students' progress. Rinpoche presently makes his home in the United States.

That's an unfortunate choice to hold a teaching from a Rime Lama,
it's Michael Roach's center and aside from other well known controversies--in general his group
has appeared to hold a sectarian superiority complex coming from the Gelugpa POV, which correlates to them
tracing directly through the Pabongkha lineage since he was a well known anti-Rime proponent.

It's possible Kachab Rinpoche doesn't know this, might be good to inform him.

Hmmm, have to check my settings - didn't receive an alert you'd replied.
Thanks for the heads - up -- so far, so good.
Rinpoche's taught there a few times and
really likes the space and overall energy.
The admin there has been very accommodating,
as well.

All the best,

Dana
