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

SUMMARY:Silent Meditation Day
DESCRIPTION:Our minds are by nature clear and bright\, but we can’t see this inherent clarity while we are involved with the endless barrage of our constant thoughts\, feelings and perceptions.   Meditation helps us quiet our minds and cut through our habitual mental habits to facilitate a direct experience of our own mental clarity.  Remaining in silence between meditation sessions helps us maintain this awareness throughout the day. \nLama Nancy Burks will lead this meditation day\, giving brief introductory remarks at the beginning of each session\, and leading the group in opening and closing chants aimed at aligning our minds and hearts with the Bodhisattva motivation of obtaining enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. \nPlease join us for this silent meditation day at the Ann Arbor KTC Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center.  Recommended for those who have some prior experience with meditation. \nSchedule:\n10:00-12:30 Morning session\n12:30-1:30 Lunch break\n1:30-4:00 Afternoon session \nThere will be a short break in the middle of each session.  Bring your own vegetarian lunch; beverages will be provided. \nNo charge; donations gratefully accepted.  Please register in advance by emailing Lama Nancy at nburks.61053@yahoo.com; also email if you have any questions or special needs. \nLama Nancy has been a student of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche since 1978\, and in 2000\, she completed the traditional 3-year\, 3-month meditation retreat under his guidance.  In addition to teaching and leading meditation practice at the Ann Arbor KTC\, she is available for individual instruction and mentoring.
