SUMMARY:Meditative Visualization Workshop And Refuge Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Through deity meditation\, we gain access to the fundamentally pure qualities of our own inherent Buddha nature–qualities such as loving-kindness\, compassion\, and wisdom. The most universal deity in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is Chenrezig\, traditionally known as the “Lord of Love” for his supreme compassion toward all living beings.  During this weekend\, we will go through the Chenrezig text practiced at the Ann Arbor KTC and learn how to do the practice.   Lama Nancy Burks will explain how to generate the proper motivation\, develop the visualization of Chenrezig\, recite his mantra\, dissolve the visualization\, and meditate in the ensuing state of emptiness.  Following that\, we arise with the understanding that our own nature is none other than that of Chenrezig.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach session will include instruction\, Chenrezig practice\, and discussion.\n\n\nPrior to the afternoon session on Saturday\, Lama Nancy will offer the Refuge Ceremony.  By taking Refuge in the Three Jewels (the Buddha\, his teachings\, and his community)\, one formally enters the Buddhist path in order to benefit all sentient beings.\n\n\n\n\n\nTo sign up\, or for more information\, email Lama Nancy at nburks.61053@yahoo.com\, call Pat Forsberg-Smith at 734-678-7549.\n\n\n\n  \n\nLocation: Ann Arbor KTC Buddhist Meditation Center\, 614 Miner St.\, Ann Arbor 48103\n\n\nEvent is free; donations are welcome.\n\nSchedule:\n\nSaturday:    10:00-12:15–Morning session\n                    12:15-1:30–Lunch\n                    1:30-2:30–Refuge Ceremony\n                    2:30-4:30–Afternoon session\n\nSunday:      10:00-12:30–Morning session\n                   12:30-1:45–Lunch\n                   1:45-4:30–Afternoon session\n\nLunch is on your own; you are welcome to bring a bag lunch and eat at the center.  Coffee and tea will be provided.\n\n\n\n\n  \nFree/donation

SUMMARY:The First Wednesday Series
DESCRIPTION:Expanding the Mind with Deity Visualization: Creation and Completion Practice \nAnother method for developing vipassana or “insight” is through the mental creation of a specific “deity” or ideal form with which you interact through chanting\, visualizing\, and mantra recitation\, followed by the completion stage of the practice\, in which the visualization is dissolved\, allowing you to rest in the natural state of your own mind. \nThe First Wednesday Series is a series of free public talks on working with the mind through meditation by Lama Nancy Burks.

SUMMARY:Meditation Workshop: The 7-point Mind Training
DESCRIPTION:Learn and practice meditation techniques aimed at helping us develop our own inherent compassion at this free workshop.  The day will include training in tonglen or “sending and taking” meditation in which we will learn to increase our compassion for others (ranging from our nearest and dearest to those who annoy or even harm us) while decreasing our attachment to our own self-image.   We will also learn to use slogans to extend our practice from formal sitting sessions to the remainder of our lives.  By increasing our compassion for others\, we simultaneously decrease our own ego-clinging and the pain it causes us.\nLed by Lama Nancy\, resident teacher at the Ann Arbor KTC Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center\, the day will alternate instruction with periods of practice and discussion. \nSome prior experience in meditation recommended but not required.  Please register by emailing Lama Nancy at nburks.61053@yahoo.com.  For further information\, call Pat Forsberg-Smith at 734-678-7549 or see our website: annarborktc.org. \nSchedule:  10:00-12:30    Morning session\n12:30-1:30      Lunch break (bring a vegetarian lunch if you wish)\n1:30-4:00        Afternoon session \nLocation: Ann Arbor KTC Buddhist Meditation Center\, 614 Miner St.\, Ann Arbor 48103\nFree; donations welcome. \nLama Nancy Burks has been a student of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche since 1978.  In February 2000\, she completed a traditional 3-year\, 3-month meditation retreat under his guidance at Karme Ling Retreat Center in upstate New York.  In addition to teaching and leading meditation practices at the Ann Arbor KTC\, she is available for individual instruction and guidance. \n“Look at all experience as a dream. . . .  Be grateful to everyone. . . .  When misfortune fills the world and its inhabitants\, Make adversity the path of awakening.”\n–From “The Seven Points of Mind Training” in The Great Path of Awakening: The Classic Guide to Lojong\, a Tibetan Buddhist Practice for Cultivating the Heart of Compassion by Jamgon Kongtrul\, Translated by Ken McLeod\, Shambhala\, 2005
