SUMMARY:Vipassana meditation retreat in full silence
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \nApproaching emptiness and the nature of reality \nThe experience of emptiness is one of the most puzzling aspects of Buddha’s teachings; while we can intuitively relate to the truth of impermanence to some extent\, it is difficult for most of us to understand the notion of emptiness which is often likened to a big vacuum or some sort of state of deprivation; yet\, according to Buddha’s teachings\, the experience of emptiness plays a central role in liberating beings from pain and suffering.\nDuring this end-of-year retreat\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoché will guide participants into exploring the experience of emptiness as the key insight into transforming our lives. Building on basic teachings and guided practice\, he will train participants into developing “ways of looking” that help free the mind from conceptual fabrication. \nRETREAT IN FULL SILENCE. \nPrerequisite: meditation experience

SUMMARY:Kado – the way of flowers
DESCRIPTION:WITH MAY ISLER \nIkebana as meditation \nUsing the wisdom of nature\, the creative meditation of Kado teaches us to see things clearly as they are. This enables us to develop a better acceptance of obstacles and respectful relationship with nature\, with ourselves and with others. \nThe chinese term of “Kado” means “The Way of Flowers” and was first developed in China over 2300 years ago.  When it was introduced and assimilated into Japan\, the Japanese word “Ikebana” arose\, meaning “living or natural flowers”.  Kado is a contemplative practice that studies nature as it is and hence\, humans being part of the all compassing nature\, we simultaneously study ourselves as we are when working with natural materials in Kado. \nThe ultimate purpose in Kado is not to make pleasant flower arrangements\, but cultivate appreciation for each moment\, to work with obstacles\, and to develop respect for ourselves\, others and all forms of life. \nWith May Isler –  she has been student of Marcia Shibata for 20 years and is authorized to conduct workshops as part of the Shambhala Kado Rigden Ikebana School.

SUMMARY:Learn to meditate – Shiné
DESCRIPTION:With Amrit Wagner \nThere is an ongoing practice for students of all levels\, newcomers and long time students alike\, at the Ripa International Center. The practice is led by Amrit Wagner\, an approved meditation instructor under the guidance of Dungsey Gyeterul Jigme Rinpoche. For more information on the weekly Shiné sittings\, please contact: info@ripa-international.com \nTHE IMPORTANCE OF MEDITATION: “The only way to know mind and to attain wisdom is through meditation. In repose\, in space\, in silent time\, answers can come. Wisdom and insight wash away problems. Transformation occurs in stillness. Through the practice of mindfulness\, the elementary harmony that creates wind horse – the Tibetan expression for positive energy – is created. Relaxation will then translate into everyday life and bring benefits. Internal change will bring external change. When we are clear and equipped with insight\, we are in a place to help others. It is by developing wisdom and compassion that we are able to be of the greatest assistance to others…. compassion heals.” – Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche

SUMMARY:Summer Retreat 2016 Week Three: "Fire-Monkey 2016" Year of Guru Rinpoche – Celebration of His Birth\, Life and Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:With His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche\nGuru Rinpoche Empowerment and Celebration\nThe Tsog Bum is achieved by invoking the blessings of Guru Rinpoche and the assistance of his entourage of deities. It helps to transform disturbed energies into positive outcomes. This practice is specifically undertaken to heal and bring harmony\, peace\, wisdom and compassion to all beings. Engaging in the practice of Tsog offering helps to release mental projections and ignorance as well as ego clinging which often manifests as anger\, attachment\, pride and envy\, thus allowing one to fully enter into non-dual wisdom. The ultimate result is peace\, positive circumstances and bliss\, leading us further towards enlightenment\, as we dedicate the merit to all beings. \nGuru Rinpoche Day Celebration\nAugust 13th marks the 10th day of the Monkey month of the Monkey year\, an extremely auspicious occasion that only happens once every twelve years! It is believed that the blessings of Guru Rinpoche are particularly powerful and invoking him brings instant blessings to those present. The Ripa International Center will celebrate this occasion with the traditional Tibetan Cham ritual. Mask Dances and the Gesar Lingdro Dances will be performed in the exceptional presence of the three Ripa Masters. \nFire Monkey 2016\n2016 is the Year of the Fire-Monkey – Guru Rinpoche’s Year – a time in which Guru Rinpoche’s energies are particularly strong and prevalent. It is also the year of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\, the spiritual director of the Ripa Center\, who is particularly blessed by Guru Rinpoche. Supporting him at this time is a particularly poignant and a very concrete way to help our teacher’s activity flourish. \nSchedule:\n6 August: Arrival \n7 August: Guru Rinpoche Empowerment bestowed by His Eminence Terton Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche \n8 – 12 August: Tsog Bum \n13 August: Guru Rinpoche Day celebration \nFurther details to come… \n  \nPlease note that the teachings will be given in English. \nProgram details can be found on the link below. \nhttp://ripa-international.com/program/2016-year-of-the-fire-monkey-guru-rinpoches-year-celebration-of-padmasambhavas-birth-life-and-enlightenment/
