When? 3-5 September 2007Travel dates 1 - 6 September 2007 Where? McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala, India What will His Holiness be teaching? 1. Master Nagarjuna’s commentary on Bodhicitta 2. Chenrezig (Guan Yin) Initiation
What is Master Nagajuna’s commentary on Bodhicitta? In order to become a Buddha, it is necessary to develop the mind of enlightenment* (bodhicitta). There are two types of bodhicitta - ultimate and conventional. We all know from personal experience that what we deeply aspire to gain is happiness and what we try to avoid is suffering. Yet our thoughts and actions only lead us to more suffering, dissatisfaction and no lasting happiness. To the lasting joy and happiness that we seek. This must surely mean we are operating within the framework of ignorance. If that’s the case, we need to uproot the cause of our problems – ignorance and the other counter productive emotions such as anger, jealousy etc. The way to do this is to develop ultimate bodhicitta - the realization of emptiness which is theunderstanding that we ourselves and everything that exists do so by depending on other factors. Nothing exists inherently or independent of other factors. Just as a bird needs two wings to fly, in order to become a Buddha, ultimate bodhicitta must be conjoined with the conventional bodhicitta - the altruistic intention to achieve the state of full enlightenment forthe benefit of all sentient beings. His Holiness’s teachings will be based on the Commentary on Bodhicitta (Jang.Chub Sem.Drel) by Nagarjuna which contains the explanation of these two types of bodhicitta. * A mind totally free from suffering

Details:
The Practice of Wisdom and Compassion of Guan Yin The three pillars of Mahayana Buddhism are the inter-twined wisdom of emptiness, great compassion, and infinite skillful means. The Guan Yin practice is no exception. The Guan Yin practice of wisdom: Meditating on the emptiness of sound by directing attention inward to realize the emptiness of sound, hearing organ, hearing consciousness, and illusory mind. Finally, one’s naked Buddha nature will reveal automatically. The Guan Yin practice compassion: Reciting the Great Compassion Dharani will develop one’s enlightened mind and show great compassion to all beings and whole universe.
