All Things Chod--Links and Upcoming Events

Post by Josef »

Just thought I would create a general thread for topics and discussion of the practice of Chod.
This might be a good place to put any questions, event notices, links or other.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

Nangwa, I'm excited for you!
I hope it will be fruitful and beneficial for you and others _/\_

We could create a separate section here for Chod but to be honest I have hesitated due to the nature of Chod and the multitude of limitations on what can even be discussed. But information about upcoming events is welcomed and wonderful.

Just in case you would like to see a more extensive section for Chod please feel free to provide feedback and ideas either by PM or in the Suggestion Box under Announcements. Your kind in put is always appreciated.

Best wishes,
Laura

Empowerment of Yeshe Tsogyal according to the lineage of Tsasum Lingpa
Teachings on Chod: Bellowing Laugh of the Dakini by Jigme Lingpa

Deepen your understanding, appreciation, and practice of the profound bodhichitta practice of Chod ritual practice according to the lineage of the Venerable Khenpo Rinpoches.

Chod is a special Vajrayana practice that removes suffering instantly by targeting our most sensitive delusions and immediately cutting through all types of attachment and ego-clinging without any hesitation, hope or fear.

Note: Everyone is welcome to attend the Chod Retreat - no previous empowerment or any other background is required.

Learn more about Chod practice:

On June 14, 2014 at the PBC Padma Gochen Ling Retreat Center in Monterey, Tennessee, Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche gave an introduction to Chod practice, where we target and release our most sensitive habits of ego-clinging with our natural awareness of love, compassion, and wisdom. Khenpo Rinpoche is specifically giving a commentary on Jigme Lingpa's terma, the Bellowing Laugh of the Dakini.

2. The Essential Meaning of Chod
http://www.youtube.com

On August 18, 2014 at Padma Samye Ling, Venerable Khenpo Rinpoche taught the essential meaning of Chod Practice to everyone gathered for the 2014 Chod Vajrayana Ritual Retreat.

It's always best to learn Chod in person from a guru. But in case someone doesn't have access to such a guru, or hasn't received many teachings on Chod, I think this article by Yangthang Rinpoche is a great explanation of the Chod practice.
