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

SUMMARY:The First Wednesday Series
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the Mind through Insight: Vipassana Meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition   \nThere are two main meditation practices on the Buddhist path: “calm abiding” (shamatha) and “clear seeing” (vipassana).  Once a basic level of mental stability has been cultivated through shamatha\, there are several approaches to practicing vipassana (also called “insight” meditation) in the Karma Kagyu school of Buddhism. This talk will outline these approaches and their eventual goal\, Mahamudra. \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: Tranquillity Meditation
DESCRIPTION:In our busy\, complicated lives\, we focus most of our attention outward as we constantly interact with the complex world around us.   Much of the time\, we leave our minds on automatic pilot and take their inner workings for granted.  Meditation allows us to turn our attention inward and gain perspective on our lives and priorities. \nSpend a Saturday learning and practicing shamatha meditation\, also known as “tranquillity meditation” or “calm abiding” in the Buddhist tradition.  Shamatha promotes mindfulness\, stability\, and calmness\, helps reduce both physical and mental stress\, and lays a foundation for more advanced meditation practices such as vipassana or “insight meditation.” \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.  Participants will learn basic methods of shamatha meditation\, techniques to deepen the meditation experience\, and tips for overcoming various obstacles that might arise. \nSuitable for those who have not meditated before as well as experienced meditators seeking to deepen their practice.  Bring your own vegetarian lunch if you wish.  Please register by emailing Lama Nancy at nburks.61053@yahoo.com. \nSchedule:  10:00-12:30    Morning session\n12:30-1:30      Lunch break\n1:30-4:00        Afternoon session \nFree; donations welcomed.

SUMMARY:The First Wednesday Series
DESCRIPTION:Taming the Mind through Mindfulness: An Introduction to Buddhist Practice  \nThrough the practice of shamatha or “calm abiding” meditation\, we cultivate mindfulness\, which makes us familiar with our moment-to-moment mental experience of perceptions\, feelings\, and thoughts.  Then we can begin to develop our thoughts and actions in a direction that is beneficial for ourselves and others.  This talk will focus on the purpose and philosophy of basic tranquillity meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. \nThe First Wednesday Series is a series of free public talks on working with the mind through meditation by Lama Nancy Burks.

SUMMARY:Chod Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A weekend retreat with Lama Tsultrim Gyaltsen\, retreat master at Karme Ling Retreat Center in Delhi\, NY.  Lama Tsultrim completed four three-year\, three-month retreats at Karme Ling between 1996 and 2012.  Lama Tsultrim will teach the  practice of Chod\, beginning  Fri. July 29 through Sun. July 31.  Friday night’s session will begin at 7:30 pm. Anyone doing the retreat needs to be present for that session.  One must have also taken refuge before the retreat.  Suggested donation is $40 for the weekend. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nChod (severance) is a practice that involves visualization of the offering of one’s own body\, and its purpose is to cut through ego and engender a sense of fearlessness.  It is based on the Milam Lungten text by Karme Chagme\, and on the outline of the Chod retreat given by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa. \nChod practice uses musical instruments: the chod drum\, a thigh bone trumpet\, and bell and dorje.  Lama Tsultrim will bring instruments for us to use\, and if anyone is considering buying any of these things\, he will try to borrow them from the KTD bookstore for possible sale.  (Check out Namse Bangzo Bookstore at www.kagyu.org).  If you want to borrow or buy any\, please let us know ahead of time when you sign up.  Texts will be provided and will be yours to keep. \nThere will be no formal practice commitment given with this teaching\, although we plan to do Chod as a group in the future. \nSpace is limited\, and pre-registration is required by July 20 so we can advise Lama Tsultrim of how many instruments and texts to bring.  Admission will be on a first-come\, first-served basis.  To register\, please email Lama Nancy (nburks.61053@yahoo.com) and indicate if you will be bringing any of your own instruments to the retreat.   If you have any questions\, please call Pat Forsberg-Smith at 734-678-7549 or email Lama Nancy. \nSchedule:\nFriday\, July 29:  7:30–Teaching and reading transmission\n (Note: You must attend the Friday session to come on Saturday and Sunday)\nSaturday\, July 30 and Sunday\, July 31:  9:30-12:00 and 2:00-4:30–\nLearn the practice\, Q & A\, and do the ritual
