The Song of the Owl Headed Dakini

According to the Heart Essence Sutra of the Owl-headed Dakini, authentic tantrikas live within the dimension of the Owl Precepts. The Owl Precepts—a Dzogchen view of the Five Buddhist Precepts—originate in the gTérmas of Khyungchen Aro Lingma (1886-1923). They contain the profound inner meaning of the Five Precepts of the Sutras, and provide an extraordinary base for approaching Dzogchen. Ngakma Déwang Pamo will provide commentary on each precept as it relates to the context of one’s everyday life.

This talk will be a part of the program of the Wesakh festival in Hamburg. Ngakma Déwang Pamo will also give an introduction to silent sitting and yogic song in seperate sessions of the festival. For detailed information, please see http://www.vesakh-hamburg.de/index.html

“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.”
