A Summer of Sutrayana
Throughout July and August the Thursday sessions at Aro Ling and online will focus on the traditional Buddhist teachings found in Sutrayana, but from the perspective of Dzogchen. The Song of the Owl Headed Dakini is a cycle of teachings received in vision by Aro Lingma (1886 to 1923). These teachings bring out the radical non-dual nature of the essential Buddhist themes which have been handed down from the time of Shakyamuni Buddha and the Mahasiddhas, and explain the heart of Dharma as it is found within the secular world.
Dzogchen is shown to be the pinnacle of the Buddhist path, and also to be the brilliant thread which connects all teachings as a direct means of realising the natural state of pure presence. These weeks will explore such themes as kindness, the 4 noble truths, the 8 fold path, the 10 paramitas, the 5 skandhas, and the 12 interdependent links of causation.
Doors open at 6.45pm
Meditation 7pm to 7.45pm

“Dharma never tires of explaining itself through those committed to teaching. To everyone who has questions or incomprehension, Dharma re-clothes itself in fresh terms. No book of truth can contain Dharma because Dharma speaks to every style of confusion; and the styles of confusion are as variegated as the cultures, societies, and epochs in which we live. The Song of the Owl Headed Dakini is a stirring anthem to freedom and to the sheer glee evoked by direct insight into the nature of reality. '”
―Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen
