Buddha of Compassion: Visualization, Meditation, and Tsok



On Saturday, April 18, Ven. Lama Karma Namgyel will give a teaching on Chenrezig. Chenrezig, The Buddha of Compassion (known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit) manifests as enlightened compassionate activity. Chenrezig embodies the highest and purest level of compassion: immeasurable compassion that is completely unstained by any negative emotions or obscurations, and so vast that it includes all sentient beings without exception.

The benefits of chanting Chenrezig’s mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” are inconceivable. Through chanting the mantra we can awaken our enlightened potential and transform our speech from being impure to a state of purity. Through visualizing Chenrezig in our mind we can become familiar with the thoughts and deeds of a buddha and gradually transform our mind and body from being impure to a state of purity.

Lama Karma is the founder, spiritual director and teacher at the Drukpa Mila Center, in Boulder, Colorado, and the new Drukpa Mila Center in Salem, Oregon.  The teaching he will give is based on a sadhana composed specifically for the Drukpa Mila Center by His Holiness Ngawang Tenzin Rinpoche of Bhutan.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We'd appreciate it if you pre-register by signing up in the lobby or by calling 503-231-0383,
but it's not required.
