24-HOUR FULL MOON PRACTICE OF SHERAP CHAMMA—ONLINE

On Wednesday, April 8, 2020, and each subsequent full moon of 2020, join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche online for meditation followed by a 24-hour mantra recitation session. This is a precious opportunity to engage in the healing practice of Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love. Each session starts at 10 a.m. New York time on the day of a full moon and ends at 10 a.m. the following day. Rinpoche will be supported by Ligmincha International’s global community of practitioners. Note: Most of these 24-hour sessions will begin with a 20-minute meditation guided by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche; on April 8, the initial meditation will be guided by Marcy Vaughn. In all sessions Rinpoche and Ligmincha lamas will take opportunities to join participants throughout the 24 hours.

Unlike Rinpoche’s CyberSangha® Facebook Live broadcasts, the 24-hour full moon practices will take place via Zoom, in an online meeting space. There is no cost to participate, but registration is required in advance of each 24-hour session; full details and instructions for participating are at https://cybersangha.net/24-full-moon/.

THE FIVE ELEMENTS: HEALING WITH FORM, ENERGY AND LIGHT

with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The five elements—earth, water, fire, air and space—pervade our lives, are the essences of our being and can be sources of profound healing. In this course Rinpoche explains how each of the five elements relates to our daily experiences, emotions and relationships. He guides meditations for each of the elements, designed to help clear our obstacles and bring balance to our lives.

Each section of the course includes videos of Rinpoche’s teachings and a guided meditation; readings from Healing with Form, Energy and Light, and assignments for journal writing, discussion, and formal and informal practice. The course is designed so that you may integrate study and practice into your everyday routine, learning at your own pace, while enjoying the support of classmates and the course mentor.
