Promise of Every Moment: Taking Practice Off the Cushion

It’s joyous news when we recognize that every ordinary moment of deep connection to yourself can be a liberating and spiritual moment. And such moments lighten our lives. 

The first installment in our new teaching series for beginning and seasoned practitioners includes practices  linked to the Nine-Fold path to awakening according to the Old Ones’ tradition in Tibet. These practices guide us in exploring our own everyday experience of mind , and body–in other words, the whole of our experience. This brings us greater compassion, contentment, and feelings of connection.

In every class you will receive  a take-away practice that you can do anywhere. 

These classes include newly translated, and new to our western Buddhist communties.  stories and advice related with Shephen Taye  and other lineage teachers.(see below)

This series will continue in 2025.

Shenpen Taye (1800-1855) is the most famous and significant Heart Essence, Vast Expanse (Longchen Nyingthig) lama you’ve never heard of. The heart-son of Jigme Lingpa’s two heart-sons, guru of the great Patrul Rinpoche and Khenpo Pema Vajra – who were Adzom Drukpa’s own heart teachers – Shenpen Taye set forth in wonderfully concise and practical ways the entire Buddhist path from its beginning with the basics to its culmination in the Great Completeness. He taught that all of the nine vehicles of the Nyingma tradition are in fact a stream of practical instructions that support one another, meant to be taken up by individual practitioners. None of his works have been translated into English or taught before now. To further our understanding of Shenpen Tayé’s teachings, and great figures like Jigme Lingpa and Longchenpa whose wisdom is transmitted by them, is also to sense more clearly the heart of the lineage that descends to us through Adzom Paylo Rinpoche.
