Pamtingpa Center is very happy that Venerable Angie Muir will be our teacher in January, continuing this Thursday the 15th - 5 to 6:30 pm Pacific Time, ZOOM ONLY

Introduction to Ta**ra - The Path of Transformation

This introductory course offers a clear and authentic doorway into the Tibetan Buddhist ta***ic tradition. We will explore what ta**ra truly is—and what it is not—by grounding its methods in the foundations of compassion, ethics, and bodhicitta. Participants will learn how ta**ra transforms ordinary perception into wisdom, how deity yoga works through the role of the teacher, mantra and visualization and why these profound teachings are considered the swift path to awakening by uniting wisdom and compassion. Open to all.

Her first of this four-part series of teachings is here, on YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/qaR29tWnLHE

Observing the Mind Meditation Practice
Facilitated by Su Ianniello.

Observing our own mind in order to more clearly see our own patterns of how we process life, is what we will be doing.
With this practice we become more aware that the way we view situations and respond to them, form what happens to us.

There will be time for discussion and questions.
Please join if you'd like. Everyone is welcome.

Dharma Movie Night
December 17th facilitated by Julia Sanderson, same time, same zoom.

Follow fifty pilgrims as they travel to the roof of the world for the spiritual adventure of a lifetime. In 2002, ordinary people from around the globe were drawn to this mystical land of enlightenment.

Guided by renowned Tibetan master Lama Zopa Rinpoche, this was no common tourist trek, but a rare and powerful experience in which the invisible world of great yogis and saints was magically revealed. This intense journey takes one directly into the culture of Tibet and its arresting, spiritually rich landscape in a way that is not often seen. It explores the deep inner meaning of pilgrimage, which purifies the mind and creates the good heart. These pilgrims discovered more than temples and holy mountains. They touched the extraordinary potential of their mindsa!

Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise cloud communications.
