Ligmincha Learning is pleased to offer an online course on “The Three Heart Mantras with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche November 15–December 22, 2019. The Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition and play a major role in the ngöndro (foundational practices).

These mantras are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy. As we sing or chant the mantras, our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization.

The course is structured in five parts: with six days devoted to each section. Learners can study at their own pace and have access to all materials as they are released, so it is easy to review earlier sections. Topics for each week include:

• Introduction to the Three Heart Mantras
• Refuge, Bodhicitta and Guru Yoga
• OM MA TRI MU YE SA LE DU – mantra explanation and meditation
• A KAR A ME TU TI SU NAG PO SHI SHI MAL MAL SO HA – mantra and explanation
• A OM HUNG AH KAR SA LE OD A YANG OM DU – mantra explanation and meditation

Also within this course Tenzin Rinpoche explains the essence of the guru yoga, refuge and bodhicitta practices, making this an excellent introduction to the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition.
