Palchen Study Group Jacksonville

Palchen Study Group Jacksonville We hope to have a regular meeting location soon. Palchen Study Group will hold two special meetings in December and hope you join us.

We are a small sangha in the Barom Kagyu tradition, specifically the Barway Dorje lineage of Tibetan Buddhism so we welcome all Buddhist practitioners to join us. These will be studies on the Refuge Vow to help those interested in taking refuge with Lama Tashi Topgyal in January. Lama will offer a Public Talk and a Weekend Teaching as well as the Vow of Refuge and the Green Tara Empowerment. Meeti

ngs will be at the Bill Brinton Library meeting room, 918 Edgewood Avenue South, Jacksonville, FL 32205 . We will meet from 11:00am to 12:00pm on Saturday 12/3/2022 and again on Saturday 12/31/2022. It is very, very helpful to your study and practice to have formal refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. These meetings/discussions can take the form of question and answer. Please feel welcome to attend.

[From a teaching on The Songs of Barway Dorje, Part 10, given by Bardor Tulku Rinpoche at KPL in June 2017. Translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso.]

To be able to understand every single word of every single Dharma teaching we receive would be wonderful, but we should not hold ourselves hostage to that ambition. The most important thing when listening to teachings, especially teachings like these, is your intention for doing so.

In fact, the amount of benefit that you reap or accrue in listening to the songs [of Barway Dorje] depends more on your intention then it does on your understanding of the literal meaning of each line of the song. As it is said, “All things rest on the point of intention.” So if you find yourself unable to understand part of a song, or the main body of a song, don’t worry too much about it. Simply regard it as a source or vehicle for receiving the blessing of the Dharma.

I have been searching for the English words to accompany a favorite prayer, Calling the Guru from afar.
Here is a link to the mantra song with sing along translation !!

Khenpo Khartar Rinpoche encouraged our little Sangha, long ago, to chant in Tibetan. He said it was best. was good. His reason, as I understood it, was that these words have accumulated power by virtue of the number of times they had been repeated and the number of voices that had said the prayer.

It's a metaphysical concept in Western thought that prayers accumulate power over time through repetition. Devotional repetition is best

(Many experienced students know this, but new comers may not )

With respect .
