2023 Meditation Technology

Senior Instructors Hartmut Sagolla and Supa Corner offer monthly online guided meditation, instruction and discussion sessions on various topics.

Refuge and Bodhimind
At the beginning of any Tibetan Buddhist Meditation it is important to create a conducive environment for meditation and connect with the Buddha as our source of compassion, inspiration and blessings while also generating the best possible altruistic motivation for one’s practice: the wish to become enlightened for the sake of others. The onsite/online workshop session will include guided visualization and analytical meditation on the meaning of taking refuge and the precious bodhimind.

The Seven Limbed Prayer
In order to have profound meditations with lasting impact, practitioners strive to create positive energy and purify any obstacles in the presence of Enlightened Beings. The seven-limbed prayer is a condensed presentation of engaging in powerful positive thoughts and visualizations. Onsite/Online.

Mantras
Buddha, as the source of refuge, can appear in many forms that represent profound spiritual qualities, such as Avalokitesvara and Tara, both embodiments of infinite compassion, as well as Manjushri, embodiment of enlightened wisdom. Visualizing these enlightened beings and reciting their mantras will create a deep connection with them and activate our own potential to realize these qualities within us. 

Guru Devotion
Following a kind master, foundation of all perfections, is the very root and basis of the path. Empower me to see this clearly and to make every effort to follow well.

Precious Human Life
Precious human life gained but once has great potential but is easily lost. Empower me to remember this constantly and to think day and night of taking its essence.

Impermanence|
 must remember that death is quick to strike, for spirit quivers in flesh like a bubble in water; and after death one’s good and evil deeds trail after one like the shadow trails the body.

Karma
Understanding that this most certainly is true, may I discard every level of wrong, and generate an infinite mass of goodness; empower me to be thus continually aware.

Renunciation and Attaining Liberation
Sensual gluttony is a gate to suffering and is not worthy of a lucid mind. Empower me to realize the shortcomings of samsara and to give birth to the great wish for blissful freedom.

And empower me that with mindfulness and alertness born from thoughts ultimately pure, I may live in accord with the holy Dharma, the ways leading to personal liberation.

Precious Bodhimind
Just as I myself have fallen into samsara’s waters, so have all other sentient beings. Empower me to see this and really to practice Bodhimind, that carries the weight of freeing them.

Transcendental Actions
Yet without habituation in the three moralities, thought-training accomplishes no enlightenment.

Empower me to know this deeply, and intensely to train in the various ways of the great Bodhisattvas.

Union of Concentration and Wisdom
And empower me to pacify distracted mental wanderings and to decipher the ultimate meaning of life, that I may give birth within my mindstream to the path combining concentration and wisdom.

Entering the Tantric Path
One who trains in these common Mahayana practices becomes a vessel worthy of the supreme vehicle, Vajrayana. Empower me that I may quickly and easilyarrive at that portal of fortunate beings.

The foundation of what then produces the two powers is the guarding of the pledges and commitments of tantric initiation. Bless me so that I may have uncontrived knowledge of this And guard my discipline as I do my very life.

And bless me so that I may gain realization of the main practices of the two stages of Vajrayana, essence of the tantric path; and by sitting relentlessly in four daily sessions of yoga, actualize just what the sages have taught.

Empower me that the masters who have unfolded the sublime path within me and the spiritual

friends who have inspired me may live long: And that the myriad inner and outer interferences

be completely and utterly calmed forever.

In all future lives may I never be parted

from the perfect lamas or the pure ways of Dharma.

May I gain every experience of the paths and stages

and quickly attain the stage of Vajradhara.
